Most iPhone owners only have a few complaints about the top-of-the-line smartphone, but one of those complaints is especially consistent from user to user: Apple's iOS prevents users from managing their own files. If you want to save documents on your iPhone for later access, for instance, you need to use third-party applications. Apple doesn't want to compromise the stability of its iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad platforms, and restricting file management abilities is one simple way to add stability.

Fortunately, power users can download iFunbox to manage their own data. iFunbox instantly reads the contents of your iPhone, iPod or other device and displays a simple file structure, allowing you to copy files off of the device or copy files onto your unused memory. It works very safely and allows you to use your Apple iOS device as portable storage media. If you don't want to buy a flash USB drive and you need a convenient, fast way to transfer some data, this is an excellent workaround.

Because the program also works on the iPad and iPod Touch, it's an all-in-one solution to your Apple iOS file management needs. If you have several Apple devices and you want to take control of all of that storage space that you already purchased, iFunbox is an essential download. It's fairly light at just over 16 megabytes, and it works especially well in Windows 7, although it's currently unavailable for Mac OS.

The only major problem is that the software requires a jailbroken iPhone if you want to upload images as iPhone wallpapers, but there are plenty of other applications out there to help you out if this is a major concern for you. iFunbox also isn't the prettiest program ever created, but it works extremely well and has enough power to satisfy most iPhone, iPod and iPad users.
