import-apple-files

Bulk download all files from iPhone/iPad DCIM folder to local disk under Windows

Work is based on this script.

Why was this needed?

To manually backup iPhone files.

Improvements

• searching for My Computer / This Computer / etc for any localization;
• downloading files, skip existing files
• check file size according to metadata
• set files creation according to metadata - it helps sorting files that do not have EXIF date inside

This is active project now :)

iPhone 6 that I use provide DCIM folder.

Getting Started

1. Connect iPhone to Windows computer and unlock it

2. Open iPhone DCIM folder in Explorer: Win+E -> This Computer -> iPhone's Name -> Internal Storage -> DCIM

3. For each of 100APPLE-like subfolder open it and wait for Explorer to load list of all files

4. Run the script (replace 'my_folder' with your folder :):

   C:\Python27\python.exe import-apple-files.py my_folder

5. Explore all files from iPhone in my_folder
