I'm having a tough time transferring data from my iPhone to an external hard drive. When I try, the files seem to be in a strange format, and I'm not sure how to proceed or if I'm doing it correctly. Can anyone guide me on how to transfer all my iPhone data to my hard drive?

Have you considered using iCloud? Upload your photos there and then download them to your hard drive. It might save you some hassle!
First off, it's essential to connect your iPhone to a computer. Once connected, you can copy the files directly to your PC first. What weird format are you seeing? That could be part of the problem.
If you're seeing weird file formats, like .heic for photos, that's likely the issue. You can change your iPhone settings to save photos as .jpg instead. Here’s a handy guide on how to do that: [Lifewire Guide on HEIC to JPG](https://www.lifewire.com/convert-heic-to-jpg-on-iphone-5295695). Alternatively, you can also use third-party software or apps to convert .heic files on your computer.
