Way 3. Using Windows File Explorer

Another way to copy iPhone videos to the Dell laptop via USB is using Windows File Explorer. However, this method requires manual copying and pasting, which can be time-consuming, especially if you need to transfer a large number of videos.

Here is how to do it:

Step 1. Connect your iPhone to the computer using a USB cable. On your iPhone, a prompt will appear asking if you trust this computer. Tap "Trust" and enter your iPhone passcode.

Step 2. Open File Explorer on your computer. In the left navigation pane, find and click on "This PC", then select the "Apple iPhone" device.

Step 3. Navigate to the "Internal Storage" folder, then open the "DCIM" folder and locate the subfolder containing your videos.

Step 4. Select the video files you want to transfer, right-click and choose "Copy", then paste them into a folder on your computer that you've prepared in advance.

Way 4. Using AutoPlay

You can also use AutoPlay to move videos from an iPhone to a Dell laptop. To do this, follow the steps below:

Step 1. Connect your iPhone to the Dell laptop. AutoPlay will open automatically. Click on "Import pictures and videos".

Step 2. You can either create a new folder on your Dell laptop for the videos or select an existing folder in the "Import Settings".

Step 3. Choose the videos you wish to transfer and click "Import" to move them from your iPhone to your Dell laptop.

Part 2. How to Transfer Videos from iPhone to Dell Laptop Wirelessly

Now, we have discussed how to transfer videos from iPhone to Dell laptop using USB. If you prefer not to use a USB cable and would rather transfer videos wirelessly, what should you do? Here, we will introduce how to transfer videos from iPhone to Dell laptop without a USB cable in two methods.

Way 1. Using iCloud

If you have enabled iCloud Photos on your iPhone, you can easily download the iCloud photos to the PC. However, make sure you have enough iCloud storage.

Here are the steps:

Step 1. Open "Settings" on your iPhone, go to "Apple ID", select "iCloud", and then tap on "Photos".

Step 2. Make sure that "iCloud Photos" is turned on so that your photos and videos are automatically synced to the cloud.

Step 3. Open iCloud.com in your Dell laptop's browser and log in using your Apple ID. Then click "Photos".

Step 4. Select the videos you want to download, and then click the download button in the upper-right corner to save the videos to your Dell laptop.

Way 2. Using Snapdrop

When it comes to wireless transfers, you might think of AirDrop. Unfortunately, AirDrop is limited to file transfers between Apple devices and cannot directly transfer videos from an iPhone to a Dell laptop. Therefore, you need to use a Windows alternative to AirDrop, such as Snapdrop.

Here is how to use Snapdrop to transfer videos from iPhone to Dell laptop:

Step 1. Open the Snapdrop website (https://snapdrop.net/) on both your computer and iPhone.

Step 2. On your iPhone, tap the icon on the screen to reveal three options: "Take Photo or Video", "Photo Library", and "Browse".

Step 3. Choose one of the options to locate and select the videos you want to transfer.

Step 4. Once the transfer is complete, click the "Download" button to save the videos to your computer.

Way 3. Using Email

Email is also a convenient method, but it's suitable for transferring small files and is not very practical for large files.

Here is how to do it:

Step 1. Open the Mail app on your iPhone, create a new email, and attach the video files you want to transfer.

Step 2. Send the email to an email address you can access on your Dell laptop.

Step 3. On your Dell laptop, open your email and download the video files from the attachment.
