iPhone photos to PC

I use a free app called "Photo Transfer". You download it to your iphone and to your PC. Then when ready you can synch them together and either download or upload to whichever device you wish. Really simple.

There is an app called Transfer that works well and is bidirectional. Can create albums etc on iPhone and transfer either direction over wifi

What is your favorite method to transfer iPhone photos to your PC? I watched a video that showed how to change the devise driver so Windows would see the iPhone as a USB device instead of trying to open it with iTunes. Then you could just connect the phone and download the photos without having to install iTunes first. Your thoughts.
Try a product called "Leef" which is a usb device that attaches to your phone...then to usb on PC, can also be used on phone while taking pictures as extra memory. It is very intuitive to use. works iphone to pc or pc to iphone file transfer is easy and simple

My question is on one more level. If you are able to get your photos onto your MacBook, then how do you get them in to Lightroom
When I open Lightroom, the pictures start to upload after a few seconds.

Thanks for all the input. Some of it strayed to Macs but I asked about PCs, Windows machines. I’ll try the USB connection method, see what happens. I watched a video that said you have to change the Windows driver for the iPhone so it wouldn’t try to use iTunes, so that Windows would use a more generic driver that would see the iPhone as just another USB devise. It seems that some responders have not had to do this, just plug in the iPhone and you’re good to go. Thanks again.
"driver" or app that opens when you connect a device? I would assume the latter.... when you connect a device to a computer (windows or mac) there is an assigned app that opens to deal with it... like assigning a file extension preference to open specific apps based on the file extension of the file being opened...
Basically, Windows may default to iTunes when an iPod, iPad or iPhone gets connected, but the user is in complete charge of setting which app to open to deal with the particular device. FWIW - I switched from Windows to Linux, years ago, then from Linux to OS X.

I have an iCloud Photos app on my PC. All my photos on my iPhone go to the iCloud. So on my PC I just tell it to either download or upload. It works both ways. Just go out to Google and search for the iCloud to PC app and download it. Set up your iCloud account and your good to go. The iCloud app is FREE.

iCloud is set up to do this. You can deactivate it.

Doesn't happen with many computers. Apple don't want you to access an iPhone this way for some reason.

In theory yes. Freezes up when I try it on my laptop.

I have had the same problem. I use a program called Copy Trans Photo. It allows you transfer files to or from the i phone to a pc. https://www.copytrans.net/copytransphoto/

I use Syncios. It's free and really works well. Got the recommendation here on UHH.
