Important notice: USB File Transfer feature is discontinued due to Apple's demand, to avoid violation of Apple's rules. The last version of GoodReader that supports USB File Transfer is v.2.3. This page is being kept for v.2.2 and v.2.3 users only.
If you're looking for a way to transfer files from your computer to your iPhone / iPod touch via USB cable and then read them on your iPhone/iPod, you have come to the right place.
Make sure that you have:
- purchased and installed GoodReader app on your iPhone / iPod touch (use iTunes or App Store app for this)
- downloaded free companion app called GoodReaderUSB on your computer (see instructions below). You will use this app to drag-and-drop your files to it with a mouse, and the files will be automatically transferred to your iPhone / iPod touch.
It's that simple!
Please read more detailed guidelines below.
Please contact our customer support service if you have any questions about this technique.
