I need help transferring a bunch of photos from my boss's iPhone to a USB drive. The catch is, he wants me to do this without actually seeing any of the photos. Is there a way to do this without looking at them? I really appreciate any guidance!

Honestly, that sounds a bit sketchy. If he's super concerned about privacy, it’s better for him to handle it himself. You don’t want to get involved in anything that could get messy.
For sure, I also thought about the legal stuff. It’s better to stay clear of this.
Just a heads up – if you go for it and there are thumbnails, you might accidentally see something you didn't want to. Once saw something I did not want to when helping someone out. Honestly, if it’s not required for work, just say no and spare yourself the trouble!
Thanks for the heads up! I think I’ll just explain to him that it’s better not to.
Right? I definitely don’t want to deal with that.
Transferring photos isn't too complicated, but if you're using an OTG cable to save them directly to a USB drive, make sure it’s the right type, and you might end up seeing thumbnails. Maybe just find a tutorial and share it with him so you aren’t caught in the middle.
Could you recommend a tutorial, or where to find one?
I will pass that info, better to let him handle it!
If he's that worried about privacy, he should just do it himself. It sounds like a personal matter, and it's not really part of your job. Just point him to resources and let him take charge of it.
Yeah, I'm realizing it’s safer for him to figure it out.
Exactly! Better safe than sorry.

Yeah, I just want to avoid any issues. Definitely thinking he should do it.
