All users of Apple technology sooner or later face the question - how to download a file to an iPhone? Despite the large number of advantages, the iOS system has a number of features and limitations compared to others. An Android or Windows user, when he picks up an iPhone or iPad for the first time, discovers that it is impossible to simply download any necessary file from the Internet to his device. The system is initially focused on downloading everything you need exclusively through the App Store. Let's consider possible ways to solve this issue.
What is Dropbox?
One of the convenient and affordable options for downloading and storing files is Dropbox.

Save images from the web using Safari on iOS
Let's start by loading images from a web browser:
- In Safari, go to the website with the image you want to save.
- Tap and hold the image until a selection menu pops up, then tap Save Image.
- Find a saved image in the Photos app
An image you save from the web will appear in your Camera Roll, Albums, or Photos view, just like any other image saved on your device and like a photo you take with your camera. So, you just need to launch the Photos app and browse through the latest additions to find your saved images.
You will find that this process is the same for all versions of iOS and on any iOS device, regardless of whether it is an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Older devices may have an earlier version of the system software, making it a little different, but the feature to save an image from Safari is the same.
The saved image will always be in the iOS Photos app.
Saving photos from mail is basically the same, but has the added bonus of allowing you to save a group of images that were sent via email as attachments.

Save images from email attachments to iPad or iPhone
Uploading images from email to iOS local storage is also easy and uses the same tap-hold trick:
- In the Mail app, open an email containing images.
- Tap and hold an image and choose "Save Image" from the pop-up menu, or if there are multiple images and you want to save them all, tap "Save # Images."
- Sign out of Mail and launch the Photos app to find your saved images.
If there are multiple images, you will see a Save All Images button. The "Save All Images" button is by far the fastest method if you have a lot of images attached to one email, although if you're on a cellular plan without unlimited data, you may want to decide whether to download them all now or when you connect to a Wi-Fi network as photos can be quite large.
Again, this is the same for all devices and all versions of iOS, although it may look slightly different depending on what version of the software you're running on your iPhone or iPad. However the function is identical.
Once the images have been saved in Photos, you can perform basic photo editing using built-in tools that let you do things like rotate, red-eye reduction and cropping, or even add filters to stylize the image(s). At this point, images can also be modified using third-party applications, be it the excellent Snapseed tool, Photoshop, Instagram or iPhoto.
Keep in mind that storing images locally will count towards your free iCloud backup and will be listed under your Camera Roll unless otherwise specified in your iCloud Backup settings. Photos can also take up quite a bit of storage space, so it's a good idea to back them up regularly to your computer or hard drive if you want to save space on your iOS device.
Downloading movies to iPhone
To begin with, we note that downloading films can take a very long time, because the file is usually large. It depends on the format and quality of the film, which you should pay attention to before downloading.

What to do if a picture from Yandex cannot be downloaded
Reasons why the image cannot load from the browser:
- Internet connection lost. Check if there is any traffic at all. Reload the page, network connection, router. If the Internet is lost, upload the image a little later.
- The directory where the picture is downloaded has stopped responding or has become inaccessible. Try a different saving method or check if the flash drive, hard drive or other storage devices are connected and working properly.

Downloading files to iPhone
First, you will need to download a file manager, which can be easily found in the App Store.
But among the variety of programs, we would note three that are especially easy to use: Downloader, Documents and File Manager.
They all work on a similar principle, but in our opinion the Documents program is slightly superior to its competitors. Two factors speak in its favor: the presence of additional features and the absence of the need for in-app purchases. Downloading the program is completely free.
Any file manager is easy to use and allows you to download a video or file of any format to your iPhone.
The question of how to download from the Internet to an iPhone can be solved quite simply:
- Open the Safari browser on your phone, go to the page from which you want to download the application, and then click on the download button. Please note that each of the applications we listed above has its own built-in browser, which is very convenient to use.
- On the new page, click the Open in program option and select the name of the file manager. If Safari initially prompts you to select other applications, then click More and find the manager in the list that appears.
- Now we upload the file to the device memory using the program. By the time the download is complete, the duration of which depends on the Internet speed and file size, the file manager will automatically open.
Saving files from the Internet directly to iPhone
When deciding how to download a picture to an iPhone, you can proceed in the same way with the only difference being that you need to long press on the image and then select save.
The above file managers are capable of performing various manipulations with downloaded files. They are capable of unpacking archives into a folder you specify, launching videos, photos, various documents, and even sending them to other users. Downloading the application is very easy, absolutely any user can handle it.
