Copying files using iTunes
If you want to transfer files from your computer to your iPhone or iPad, you can use iTunes. This method requires a USB or USB-C cable to connect your device to your computer. Alternatively, you can use a Wi-Fi connection, but you will need to turn on Wi-Fi syncing.
Firstly, open the iTunes app on your PC and click the Device button near the top left of the iTunes window. Then, click 'File Sharing'.
To transfer a file from your device to your computer, select the file you want to transfer from the list on the right, click 'Save to', choose where you want to save the file, and then click 'Save To'.
To transfer a file from your computer to your device, drag and drop the file into the iTunes window. iTunes will make a copy of the file and add it to your iTunes library.
Note that if you delete an app with shared files from your iOS device, you will also delete those shared files from your device and your iCloud or iTunes backup. To avoid losing shared files, copy the files to your computer before deleting the app from your iOS device.

Saving files on an Android device's internal storage
There are several ways to save files on an Android device's internal storage. One way is to use an SD card. First, insert the SD card into the target Android device and power it on. Then, open the file management application specific to the OS and navigate to the "My Gallery" folder on the SD card. If a message appears saying "Found a new artwork file at the external storage", press OK, and the files will be moved to the internal storage of the device. If this message does not appear, select "Display Storage Folder Path" or "Display Import Folder Path" to make a note of the path. Select all the SD card's artwork files and copy them to the noted path. Finally, open "My Gallery" on your device, and the copied artwork files will be displayed.
Another way to save files on an Android device's internal storage is by using Dropbox. This method is easy to understand and can be done using a telephone line, but WiFi is recommended, especially if you have many files to transfer. It's important to note that only artwork files can be transferred using this method.
Additionally, when saving files on an Android device's internal storage, it's important to consider the purpose of the files and the amount of storage space available. Internal storage has limited space, so it's best suited for sensitive data that shouldn't be accessible by other apps. Android devices provide two types of physical storage locations: internal and external. Internal storage is always available on all devices, making it a more reliable place for data storage. However, external storage may offer more space, and it is useful for files that you want to share with other apps or access with a computer.
To save files on an Android device's internal storage using a specific app, you don't need any special permissions. Your application always has permission to read and write files in its internal storage directory. When saving a file, you can acquire the appropriate directory by calling one of two methods: one that returns a File representing an internal directory for your app, and another that returns a File representing an internal directory for your app's temporary cache files. Remember to delete each file once it is no longer needed and implement a reasonable size limit for the memory usage.

Saving files on an Android device's external storage
Android devices provide two types of physical storage locations: internal storage and external storage. Internal storage is always available on all devices, making it a more reliable place to store data. On the other hand, external storage offers more space and can be expanded using an SD card.
When saving files on an Android device's external storage, it's important to note that the exact location of where your files can be saved might vary across devices. Therefore, avoid using hard-coded file paths. Additionally, to protect sensitive information, avoid using predictable patterns in filenames that could reveal the contents of the file.
There are several ways to save files on an Android device's external storage. One method is to use an SD card. Both the source device and the target device must be Android devices. Simply insert the SD card into the target device and copy the desired files to the SD card using a file management application.
Another method to save files on an Android device's external storage is by using Dropbox. This method is especially useful if you have many files to transfer. Connect both devices to Dropbox, either through a telephone line or WiFi, and transfer the files.
Additionally, when using specific applications, such as ibis Paint, you may have the option to choose between saving files on the device's internal storage or external storage. In the case of ibis Paint, you can change the save folder location in the "My Gallery" section of the application.
It's important to note that some applications might require specific permissions to access and write to external storage. For example, on earlier versions of Android, apps needed to declare the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions to access and write to files outside the app-specific directories. However, more recent versions of Android have introduced purpose-based storage models, such as the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission, which improves user privacy by granting apps access only to the areas of the device's file system that they need.

Frequently asked questions
First, determine whether it is possible to save on your SD card by tapping on "My Gallery" and checking if you can see the option to "Change Save Folder to Internal Storage" or "Change Save Folder to External Storage". If the former displays, then the current save folder is already the SD card and nothing needs to be changed. If it's the latter, tap on "Change Save Folder to External Storage" to move all artwork files to the SD card. Then, insert the SD card into your phone and open ibis Paint. If a message appears saying "Found a new artwork file at the external storage", press OK. The files will then be moved to the internal storage of the device.
