My Inventory Data Migration: File Sharing Method via iTunes


In My Inventory, when data is stored on the device rather than in iCloud, you can copy the data using iTunes file sharing. It can be used for data migration from the LT (free version) to the paid version.
Additionally, these steps can also serve as a method for backing up and restoring data without using iCloud.

Here is the official support page from Apple.


For Windows (or Mac with macOS Catalina 10.15 or older)


It is assumed that the iTunes app is installed on your Windows. You can download it from the Microsoft Store.
On your Windows computer, launch the iTunes app and connect the iOS device to the computer using a cable.

  1. Select your device. (It may not be displayed unless you clear several security-related questions.)
  2. Choose "File Sharing."
  3. From the list of apps, select the desired app.
  4. From the {App Name} documents, select the desired file (or folder).
  5. Click "Save..." and save it to your desired location. (Drag & drop is also possible.)
