iMazing for Windows

Quick summary

Use your iPhone or iPod Touch as a pocket-sized file drive with DiskAid. This utility treats your Apple device like an external storage medium: plug it into your computer and manage files with familiar drag-and-drop actions. DiskAid requires no special drivers or complicated setup — just connect and start transferring.

What DiskAid lets you do

DiskAid exposes the device storage in a hierarchical folder view so you can:

• Drag files between the computer and your device.
• Create new folders and rename existing ones.
• Browse and copy items just as you would on a USB stick.

Limitations and oddities

Be aware that the on-device folder layout and file names aren't always intuitive. Folders and files may not match the names shown in apps on the device — for example, music files can appear as unreadable character strings rather than their original titles. Because of that, identifying some files may require guessing or cross-checking with the app itself.

How to get started

1. Connect your iPhone or iPod Touch to your computer with a USB cable.
2. Launch DiskAid — it will detect the device and show its folders.
3. Use drag-and-drop to move files, or right-click options to create folders and rename items.

Release highlights

• Bug fixes: Resolved an issue that could cause DiskAid to crash after completing registration.
• Interface improvements: Added the ability to toggle visibility of hidden files and support for copying and pasting text within the app.
• New data access: Now exposes Contacts, Notes, Call History, Text Messages, Voicemail and Voice Memos for browsing and export.
• Automated backup: Can perform an automatic backup when DiskAid detects a connected device.
• Backup control: Introduces an option to disable iTunes’ automatic backup behavior.
• Removed option: The “Remove Tracking Data” button was taken out because it’s no longer necessary on iOS 4.3.3 and later.

Practical tips

• Use DiskAid for quick file transfers and as a lightweight alternative to cloud syncing when you need local storage.
• Keep a separate copy of important documents — file names on the device may not reliably reflect their original names.
• If you need to preserve media metadata (song titles, album art), use a dedicated media manager or export from the app that created the files.
