Previously, the only way to transfer file from iPhone to Mac was syncing. This wasn’t possible with all apps and file types. To find out which apps support file transfers, open Finder. Once there, open the application that needs to transfer the file. You’ll notice a list of apps and their options.
AirDrop
AirDrop allows you to transfer files between your iPhone and Mac in two simple steps. First, you must sign into your iCloud account. You must also have an Apple ID in order to send files to other Apple devices. You can also use AirDrop to send files to your favorite contacts.
