i want to transfer about 230 photos from my phone to my laptop, all of them are in one singular folder on the phone.
how can i transfer these photos, or, better, the whole folder, from my phone to my laptop? (i have the necessary cabling to connect both)
here are both devices:
my phone: Apple iPhone 13 Mini, running iOS 16.2
my laptop: Lenovo IdeaPad C340, running Windows 10

    Let me know if it's available on your app store and/or if you can found some alternative!

    P.P.S.
    Oh-another advice (this one's soild!).
    Document asks you if you wanna delete the original pics in your photo app when you move your photo to the app (you can also just make copies)--and that's fine--but I highly suggest you keep, KEEP, the original until you know they are safely transferred to your computer. It can crash sometimes, plus you might accidentally hit "delete folder" button in the app. Which would suck (done that many times)

    There are some file manager apps on app store. I mainly use one called Documents. This app: (link to app store page) https://apps.apple.com/jp/app/documents-file-manager-app/id364901807?l=en)

    This lets you transfer photo to the app, then to your computer via iTunes. You can create a folder within this app, and it lets you send the entire copy of your folder (or rather, lets you make a copy of it on your computer).
    You can use it to backup your simpleplanes files, also... though you have to do it via iPhone's default "files" app... which I don't have a high opinion of (it's got a lot of bugs!)

    It may not be available on your regional store, but I'm pretty sure there are some apps with similar features.

    One last thing, my lay-person advice. (Emphasis on lay-person, I'm not tech savvy)

    I don't know how clean or spooky this, or any other file management apps are (one time, some file manager app was using iPhone camera to take pics without my permission. I think it's gone from the store, but that was, of course, super suspicious). If you are even a tiny bit worried that the app might send your data (photos can contain some important private information) to some server for some nefarious purpose, cut your internet connection before you use the app, and delete it once you are done. Again, lay person advice. Maybe there's something I should be more worried about with these apps.

    If it calls it spam, you can still log in and pull them from your "sent" mailbox @JeskoGoesVROOM @BeastHunter

    @JeskoGoesVROOM I usually just email them to myself. That works at least with gmail.

    true, i do have 2 email accounts so that works as well, but due to the sheer amount it might get categorized as spam, who knows
