Step-by-step guide

Automatically mount a directory on an iPhone, iPad or iPod to your Mac or PC

Introduction

Auto-mounting lets iExplorer reconnect a selected device directory each time your iPhone, iPad, or iPod is attached.

This is useful for frequent workflows where you want fast access in Finder or Windows Explorer without manually mounting every session.

What you will need

  • iExplorer
  • An iPhone, iPad, or iPod
  • USB cable to connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
  • A Mac or PC with iTunes or the Apple Music app installed

Before you begin

Step-by-step instructions

Automatic mounting is best for recurring transfers.

If you only need occasional access, use manual mount instead.

Quick Steps

  1. Open iExplorer and connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod.
  2. From Device Overview, open Media or Apps in the left sidebar.
  3. Right-click the target folder and choose Mount as Disk.
