This post answer is it possible to airdrop Windows PC to iOS. And demonstrate several ways of transferring/ ‘airdrop’ music, videos, photos, and other data from Windows PC to an iPhone and iPad.
Airdrop is a convenient way to share photos, videos, messages, files between iPhones, iPads, and Macs wirelessly. But lots of people are wondering if is it possible to airdrop Windows PC files to iPhone, iPad, even iPod Touch or from iOS device to Windows PC?
Actually, you can’t use airdrop to send files from Windows 10 to an iOS device. Because there is no Airdrop for Windows or Android. It is an ad-hoc service in iOS and macOS systems to share files between different Apple products wirelessly.
But there are still some ways allowing users to move files between Windows 11/10 and iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
Windows 10 provides “Nearby Sharing” features to move files between 2 Windows 10 computers using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. It was inserted in April 2018 update, so it means you have to update your Windows 10 to this version or later versions.
1. On your Windows 10 computer, click the Windows button or the “Start” button. Then go “Settings” > “System” > “Shared Experiences”
2. Find the “Nearby sharing”, and enable this feature.
If someone wants to share a file with you, it prompts a message, and you can choose “Save & Open” or “Save” to accept it or click “Decline” to refuse.
If you have a USB cable, an alternative way to 'airdrop' files between Windows 11/10/8/7 and iOS is the professional iOS transfer tool - FoneTool. It comes with several highlights and features making it to be one of the best ways to share files, such as:

Step 3. Then view the selected files, and click "Start Transfer" to start it.
In conclusion, Airdrop is not actually applicable for sharing files between Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, and iOS devices. But there are still some other tools that can help you transfer photos, videos, files, data from Windows 10 to iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. If you want to airdrop from PC to iPhone, you can use FoneTool to transfer files from a Windows computer to iPhone, iPad. Hope this post can really help you.
