As of macOS Sequoia, it’s easy to move files, photos, and videos between your iPhone and Mac as easily as you drag and drop between apps on Mac by using the Universal Control feature.
It allows you to seamlessly drag and drop files between your Mac and nearby iPad or iPhone by simply moving your cursor to the edge of one screen and onto the other, provided you’re signed into the same Apple ID on all devices.
This functionality is particularly enhanced with the “iPhone Mirroring” feature in macOS Sequoia 15.1, enabling direct drag and drop between your Mac and iPhone screen as if it were another window on your computer. Things to consider:
Key points about drag and drop with macOS Sequoia:
° Ensure all devices are close together, connected to Wi-Fi, and signed into the same Apple ID.
° When hovering your mouse near the edge of your Mac screen, it will automatically transition to the nearby device.
° Once on the other device’s screen, simply click and hold the file you want to transfer and drag it to the desired location.
