Hi there,
I frequently need to offload big video files from my iPhone to my File server that my Mac is connected to.
Using Airdrop takes very long and I have to activate Wifi on my Mac because of our wired 10Gb Ethernet network.
Is there another way? I read that you can connect the phone directly to your mac via USB cable but how do you copy files without importing them into the photos app?

Hi brbo,
thank you for your response.
Although I read that article, I missed that link at the bottom.
It worked using Apple's Image Capture app.
Thanks again!
You're welcome!
