Phone Media Transfer Script

This powershell script can be used to copy image and videos from an iPhone to an external hard drive.

Introduction

This PowerShell script is designed to automate the transfer of media files from a specific phone to a designated folder on a computer. It's particularly useful for organizing photos and videos from a phone like the Apple iPhone. The script supports filtering specific file types and handles the transfer process seamlessly.

Requirements

• Windows Operating System
• PowerShell 5.1 or later
• The phone (e.g., Apple iPhone) must be connected to the computer and recognized by Windows

   cd your-repo-name

Usage

1. Connect your phone to the computer.
2. Open PowerShell and navigate to the script's directory.
