Here's my Android file system as seen by Windows which I manage from
Windows without adding *any* software whatsoever to Android or Windows.

Why doesn't Apple just let you manage your iOS file system natively on
Windows?

You're asking the group to comment on why Apple wants to keep their users
trapped inside the Apple (prison) ecosystem? This is gonna be one long
thread....;-)

As you probably know, there are 3rd party iPad file managers but natively,
I'm only aware of iTunes and iCloud allowing access to contents of folders
from other systems as I recently learned - the hard way. There are
limitations on the file types but not being an Apple guru - I'll leave that
to others for commenting on. As for managing the Apple IOS file system from
Windows, nothing I've read allows the same management level you are used to
on a Windows system.

I needed a new tablet this past week so I bought the new 9.7 iPad with 128GB
storage. Gorgeous screen and it's fast. Great tablet - but I live in a
Windows world and after finding out the limitations and kludges I would have
to use to transfer files/folders between the systems, I gave up. Not worth
the effort. Got the new MS Surface Go (8GB 128GB) and upgraded it to Win10
Pro - problem solved. Be glad to answer any questions about it if others
are interested.
