Absolutely nothing. As long as your Windows PC has a browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or any other — you just open the URL and go. This is one of Transfer Assistant's biggest advantages: locked-down work computer with no admin rights? No problem. You've always got a browser.
Yes — Transfer Assistant works over your local network, so both devices need to be on the same WiFi. This is what makes transfers blazing fast and ensures your files never touch a third-party server. If you're not on the same network, you can always turn on your phone's hotspot and connect your PC to it.
All files sent from your PC are automatically saved into the Transfer Assistant folder inside the Files app on your iPhone. You can view, preview, and share them right from the Files app, or open them with any other app. No need to manually save each file.
No file size limits and no quantity limits whatsoever. Since transfers happen over your local network, speed depends on your WiFi quality — typically 20–80 MB/s. A 1 GB movie transfers in about 15–50 seconds, which is orders of magnitude faster than uploading to cloud storage and downloading again.
Very secure. Transfer Assistant uses direct local network connections — your files travel directly between your phone and PC, never uploaded to any cloud server. Each session generates a unique, encrypted URL that only works while your app is open. Your files stay between your own devices.
