Share files with other iPhones and iPods

Open FSharing app in your iPhone, tap on Share button in Sharing screen (If you want to share photos and music turn on “Share Photos”, “Share Music” options).

IMPORTANT: In order to share files with other iPhones and iPods, your iPhone and these devices must be in the same network (Wi-Fi or Hotspot (*)).

In other iPhones, iPods:

1. Open FSharing in other iPhones or iPods, tap on Explorer icon on the top right of Sharing screen, it will open Browse screen, tap on Network tab you will see “fsharing” (The name might be changed depends on Server Name you specify), tap on it to connect

2. After connecting successfully, you will see some shared folders “Documents”, “iPod Library”, “Photos”. The first is your iPhone storage you can copy files there, the rest are Photos and iPod Library of iPhone (These folders are available when you turn on “Share Photos” and “Share Music” options), they are read-only folders

(*) How to turn your iPhone into a Wi-Fi Hotspot

1. Open the Settings app in your iPhone, then select Personal Hotspot

2. Tap on Personal Hotspot, and set Personal Hotspot to On (Tap the slide so it turns green)

3. If Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth are off, iOS will ask if you want to turn them back on. We’d recommend doing so – without them, the hotspot will be limited to USB

4. Tap “Wi-Fi Password” and enter a suitable password (This isn’t related to your Apple ID or usual Wi-Fi connection)

5. Now check the name of the hotspot listed under “TO CONNECT USING WI-FI”

6. Open the Settings app in other iPhones or iPods, tap on Wi-Fi and choose the Wi-Fi hotspot

7. Enter the password from Step 4
