There are a few ways to transfer files to and from an iOS or iPadOS
device, some geekier than others:
1. Via Dropbox
By far the easiest way is to put Dropbox on every computer, phone and
tablet you own. Just like iCloud, put something in Dropbox on one
device, it appears on all the others.
2. Purchase an external drive and adapter and use an application to read
that drive on your phone or tablet.
Attach the drive to your computer, load it up with whatever you want,
then plug it into your phone and transfer the files from the drive to
the phone using the Files or File Browser application.
3. From a Mac, just use iCloud Drive, or see below for how to set up a
network share:
4. Set up a network share on the system with the files to which you want
access:
Here's how to do it from the gospel according to Microsoft:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/file-sharing-over-a-network-in-windows-b58704b2-f53a-4b82-7bc1-80f9994725bf
Here's how to do it on a Mac:
https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/set-up-file-sharing-on-mac-mh17131/mac
On the iOS or iPadOS device, open Files or File Browser (if you have
that application) and add a network share as appropriate. You'll need
the IP address of your computer, and a username/password to access it.
It's the same username/password you use to log into it for normal use.
If you don't log in to your Windows machine but, as I do, have the thing
come up at the Desktop and you've forgotten your username, you can get
that from Control Panel by searching for "user" and choosing the
appropriate option. Set up your Windows network share to be as inclusive
as you like because only you have access to it over your local area
network. Even those who visit your network won't have access to it
because they will presumably not know the password to that system even
if they know your username, so you're secure.

If the mp3 files are labeled in such a way that they will play in the
right order, like chapter01.mp3, chapter02.mp3 etc., my favorite way
to do this is to zip the files into one .zip file with the name of the
book as the file name, then import it into Voice Dream Reader.
Voice Dream Reader will take a zipped audio book and use the file name
as the name of the book and each file then will be its own chapter and
you can pause and come back to where you left off, you can drop
bookmarks, etc.
Others may have suggestions too.

Hello,
I have SC20 updated to the latest version.
What can I do to transfer MP3 books from Windows pc to my iPhone?
Otherwise, can I do it from my Mac also?
