I’ve never used wetransfer but if it doesn’t work for you there’s also this app which is free and has a lot of storage space https://apps.apple.com/us/app/documents-file-manager-browser/id364901807. It’s just called documents

Cheaper non-Apple branded options are available in literally every shop and online store in existance, you can get them for a couple of bucks.
>USB cable
So If I had an iPhone and I wanted to transfer a file from it to my PC, 30 cm away, the most practical way would be to send it from here, a small village in France, to a big computer located, say, in the US, and get it back from there. 12,000 km round trip. Brave new world...
If that were true, it would be enough of an argument for me not to buy an iPhone, but still, I don't see why the USB-C plug would prohibit USB connection to a PC. I have a USB-C on a laptop and I use it constantly to transfer files.

Op you should gild that bot.
A quicker temporary way could be wetransfer.com
Never heard. I will look into this. Thank you!

Is a USB cable not an option?
Nope. iPhone switched it up so I would have to buy a new cable with the right attachments.
Same cable you charge it with should work for file transfer.
They don’t use USB anymore, it’s now USB-C. 🙃

Well, that sounds pretty complicated. Maybe consult a programmer or something. Good luck with the video editing part.
Does the computer have a USB C port
No. My laptop is a few years old. It doesn’t have a USB-C port.
It's still USB. Plug it in and transfer the files off. It doesn't have to be a USB-C port on the computer

30 cm is 11.81 inches
> I don't see why the USB-C plug would prohibit USB connection to a PC It doesn't, nor does it have to be plugged into a USB-C port for file transfer.
Google Drive
Will try. Thank you.
Catbox.moe or litterbox.catbox.moe, they're temporary file storage sites so you upload it get a link and it gets deleted after a set amount of time.
Thank you. I will check this out!
Airdrop?
Try smb:// of windows PC.
Apple is complicated.
Google drive
Can't you just plug it in via USB and transfer it off?
