Whether it’s a “relay” that seamlessly docks your work, or a “small delivery” of fast transfer files, whether you’re using a MacBook to answer incoming calls directly from your iPhone, or copying text on your iPhone, then paste it on your MacBook. These handy features make the users of Apple devices full of praise.
However, because of work needs, software compatibility, and many other reasons, many of my friends use iPhone and Windows 10 computers. Can iOS and Windows 10 be as smooth as iOS and MacOS? Today, I will teach you how to play with iPhone and Windows computers.

No air delivery, we do this
If you have an iPhone and a MacBook, whether it’s photos or documents, as long as the device is within range of wireless communication, you can quickly transfer photos and documents between two devices by sending them over the air.
Using an iPhone and a Windows computer can transfer files as fast as between the Mac and the MacBook? I think the answer is no, we can only make the linkage between the iPhone and the Windows computer as simple as possible. Nut Cloud is a convenient and secure professional network disk product that can realize fast synchronization, sharing and backup functions of files. At the same time, uploading and downloading are unlimited, and can be used in multiple devices across platforms.
Of course, if you are used to logging in to QQ or WeChat on a Windows computer, using social software to send a small amount of files is also a good choice. However, Nut Cloud does not need to log in to social software when transferring files. There is no limit on the number of photos that can be transferred at the same time. It does not duplicate the file in the software root directory like WeChat. Obviously it is more suitable for multi-platform file synchronization. The free version of Nut Cloud has only 1GB of upload traffic per month and3GB of download traffic, although it is a cloud disk, but I prefer to use it to send accepted files.
Installing Nut Cloud on your iPhone and Windows computer and logging in to the same account, you can sync files, but before using it, we have to do a simple operation to make sharing files more convenient. Go to the iPhone photo app, click the “Share” button, we will find that “Nut Yun” is not in the candidate list, then we need to drag the app bar to the end, click “More” to enter the app’s sorting interface.
Click “Edit” to move the “Nuts Cloud” to the top. Go back to the initial sharing interface and you will see the option to send to the Nut Cloud next to the Empty Delivery feature.
In the sending interface, select the folder you want to store, click the “Save” button in the upper right corner to sync the photos to the Windows computer, and send them to WeChat and right click to save to the computer, “Nut Yun” The experience of getting the file in one step is still very good, and because the essence of “Nut Yun” is still a network disk, that is to say, you can send files when the computer is turned off, and then you can synchronize files after opening the computer, although there is no separation. The airdrops are so neat, and Nut Cloud can also give us a similar effect.
Instead of “relay”, only two software
When you use Safari to browse the web on your iPhone and use the notes to record content, an icon with a phone corner will appear on the MacBook dock that opens the Relay. Click on this icon and you can continue the iPhone on your MacBook. The operation on.
Although we have no way to seamlessly use iPhone apps on Windows 10, there is no problem with simple push pages. At this point we will use Microsoft’s own browser Edge.
If you log in to the same Microsoft account on your phone as the Windows computer, open a web page and click on the middle phone icon below to search for the same account device.
Click on the searched computer and the same web page will open on your computer to seamlessly connect the web page.
In addition to sending browser content, the relay can also copy text on a MacBook and paste it on the iPhone.
The combination of the iPhone+Windows computer doesn’t have such a convenient function, but we can use the Quick Stick software to achieve similar functions.
Open the Windows computer and “Quick Post” on the iPhone, log in to the same account, click “More → End-to-End Encryption” on the iPhone and enter a PIN code.
Next, on the “Quick Post” on the computer, click “Settings → User Information → End-to-End Encryption” and enter the same PIN code.
This way, the clipboard between the iPhone and the Windows computer is connected. When you copy a content on your PC, the content will be synced on the phone’s Quick Sticker app, you can copy, bookmark, delete and Add a reminder.
Moreover, “Quick Post” also provides a wealth of plug-in features, such as case conversion, Baidu search, express single number query, etc., you can use this app to achieve.
The Edge browser plus the Quick Stick app lets you create a simple “relay” between your iPhone and your Windows computer.
Sync albums with OneDrive
If you’ve heard of OneDrive, I believe you’ve also heard about slow synchronization, small space, unstable servers, and so on. In fact, although the previous OneDrive has various problems, it is already a very good network disk option for my use.
In terms of price, the 2T iCloud is priced at 816 yuan per year, while OneDrive is bundled with Office. The 1T OneDrive+Office 365 Personal Edition is priced at 398 yuan per year, and 6 members per year are equally divided into 6T. The OneDrice+ Office 365 Home Edition is priced at $498 (equivalent to one person 1T space + Office for $83). In terms of price, iCloud has basically no advantage.
There may be a small partner who will say that mentioned in the previous articleThe Nut Cloud is also a web disk. The synchronization speed is faster than OneDrive. Why not use Nut Cloud to sync photos? The biggest problem is the storage space. The advantage of Nut Cloud is that the file synchronization speed is fast, but it is an advanced professional version with an annual fee of 399.9 yuan. The Nut Cloud has only 72GB of storage space, which cannot meet our storage needs. What’s more, we want to sync photos with Windows computers. OneDrive is naturally the best choice. Download the OneDrive app on your iPhone, click on the top left corner, click “Settings → Camera Upload”, and then open the photos on your iPhone to OneDrive.
After the sync is complete, we can see your synced photos on your Windows computer.
Next, open the “Photos” app on your computer, click on the three points in the upper right corner, enter the settings interface, and open “Microsoft OneDrive”.
This way, photos on the iPhone can be displayed in albums on your computer’s photo app.
Windows 10’s photo app also has features such as face albums, location recognition, etc., which basically meets our needs for viewing, searching, and sharing.
Software recommendation, TAs are also very useful
After reading the above introduction, I believe that you have a clear understanding of the linkage between iPhone and PC. In fact, as long as a software has iOS and PC versions, they can be used between the two platforms. Linkage.
In the case of Microsoft, Office 365 represents the office software. Like OneNote, this all-in-one note-taking software, such as drawing, recording, notes, illustrations, etc., is not only good on PC. The performance can also be used on the iPhone.
The same product produced by Microsoft To Do is also a very good all-platform efficiency office software, simple appearance, convenient operation, whether it is to improve work efficiency, relieve stress, or just simply remember something, To Do is worth Go and try.
There are many such softwares, such as the efficiency office software “Tick List”, the note management software “Impression Notes”, and the project management software Trello. Both versions of iOS and Windows are available for download.
Although the iPhone and PC are not as natural as the iPhone & Mac, with the help of these software, we don’t have to envy the linkage between the Mac and the iPhone. The PC party can use it as well.
