OSBridge
Android to iPhone File Transfer
Transfer supported files from Android to iPhone with OSBridge. Move photos, videos, documents, and other supported files using the available OSBridge transfer workflow.
How to Transfer Files From Android to iPhone
Navigating between different mobile ecosystems can feel restricted. Users frequently need to move photos, videos, documents, downloads, and other supported files from an Android phone to an iPhone, but natively, Android and iPhone do not communicate easily due to their differing operating systems.
OSBridge provides a cross-platform file transfer workflow tailored for supported Android and iPhone transfers. Instead of struggling with email attachments or emailing yourself links, OSBridge establishes a secure link to move supported files efficiently.

USB Android to iPhone File Transfer
OSBridge supports USB transfer for Android to iPhone workflows only where technically supported by the underlying implementation. When using this method, ensure you grant the required permissions on both devices. Note that iOS handles physical connections differently than Android, so simply follow the connection steps shown by OSBridge on your device.

Transfer Photos and Videos From Android to iPhone
You can confidently transfer camera photos, videos, saved images, and supported media files from your Android phone to an iPhone. The actual files available for selection depend on OSBridge's supported file-access workflow, ensuring compatibility when they arrive on iOS.
Transfer Documents From Android to iPhone
Alongside media, moving productivity files is essential. You can transfer PDFs, text documents, Office files, downloads, and other supported files from your Android directly to the iPhone.
Transfer Large Files From Android to iPhone
Moving substantial media files natively across ecosystems can often cause errors or timeout issues. You may need to migrate large videos, extensive photo collections, work files, or other supported large files.
OSBridge simplifies this. OSBridge Pro includes no file size limits according to the current Pro plan, ensuring your largest Android files successfully transfer to the iPhone.

Pause and Resume Android to iPhone Transfers
OSBridge offers the ability to pause active transfers and resume them later for supported file types and workflows. Use this feature when your devices need to momentarily disconnect, ensuring you don't lose progress on large Android-to-iPhone transfers.
Android to iPhone Transfer History
OSBridge includes a local transfer history log feature within the app. You can quickly verify which supported files successfully moved from your Android device to the iPhone without relying on external cloud tracking.
Moving From Android to iPhone?
If you are switching ecosystems, you will need to migrate your data. OSBridge is highly effective at moving your photos, videos, documents, supported personal files, and other supported data to your new iPhone.
Note: OSBridge focuses on supported file transfers rather than complete phone migration. It handles your media and documents securely but relies on platform-specific tools if you require complete OS state cloning (like migrating system settings or SMS).

Files can be moved through a PC or Mac computer when appropriate, though it takes twice as long.
Messaging or Sharing Apps
Useful for supported smaller files and specific sharing situations, but often compresses media quality heavily.
