    I like the new iPhone XS Max but as an Android user I am accustomed to transferring work files from phone to computer using a USB C flash drive. I cannot log into the cloud on work computers. Is it possible to do this on new iPhone? The files may be on Google Drive in iPhone or wherever Word or Excel files are stored on iPhone.

    @recDNA They have lightning flash drives for iPhone. Just do a google search. My mom’s friend actually uses one because she doesn’t trust iCloud.

    You’re welcome! I’m pretty sure they copy files too. Just make sure you read the descriptions.

    I just read on Amazon you can copy only small PowerPoint files to iPhone then it isn't possible to edit and save them on the iPhone. Same with Word and Excel. In Android it is the same as Windows. I could go without this but I would miss being able to download an Excel file from work, edit it, save it on phone then copy it to flash drive then use flash drive in work computer.

    Thanks for great suggestions though. At least it would be an easy way to transfer media files.
