Second, the computer setting method
1. Create a shared folder

In the pop-up settings window, click the inverted triangle icon on the right side of the multi-check box, select "everyone" in the drop-down menu, be sure not to make a mistake, otherwise it will be wrong, click "Share" in the lower right corner after selection.
4. Obtain the IP address of the computer
Next, get the IP address of the computer, open the settings item according to the path, [Settings]/[Network and Internet], select the network of the computer in the network list, select the wired network if it is wired, select the Wi-Fi name for the wireless network, and record the "IP4" address on the network properties page, which is the string of numbers, including the small dots and copy it together, or the computer stays on this page, and then sets up the iPhone.
3. How to set up the IPhone side
1. Configure the IP address of the computer
Open the "File" App, click on the "..."" in the upper right corner, select "Connect to the server", and then fill in the IP address of the computer, you must be careful not to write it wrong when filling in, it is best to fill in the native input method of IPhone, and click on the "connection" in the upper right corner after filling in.
2. Configure the visitor's identity information
The most important step is coming, you must read it carefully, complete the above settings, the next step is to enter the identity information of the computer, select "connection identity" and "registered user", and fill in the user identity information of the computer in the name and password configuration item below, this step is required, if the configuration is correct, it will pass normally, otherwise it will prompt an error.
Tips: Windows computer accounts are usually divided into managers and visitors, as well as direct use of Microsoft account, the easiest to use Microsoft account, directly fill in it, if you use a local account, fill in the username and password you set, if you do not set a login password, you must first set the password and then fill in.
In addition, Windows 11 users, just fill in the Microsoft account.
Fourth, the use of tutorials
When you need to synchronize documents in the future, you can directly open the "Files" app, find the sharing column, and then you can enter the shared folder and synchronize the documents.
The same is true on the computer, you can save documents directly to the shared folder, and then you can view and edit the documents in the shared folder in real time on the iPhone.
【Conclusion】The biggest advantage of choosing this way for document synchronization is that you don't have to worry about the files being compressed, especially photos and videos, which can be transferred to the original files, and are not affected by the network speed, because it is a local area network, there is basically no delay in document transmission, it is completely real-time synchronization, and it is two-way.
