Why need an iExplorer alternative?

iExplorer is a well-known iPhone, iPod, iPad manager. You can use it to export music, playlists, photos and videos from your iDevice to iTunes library or Mac. It also allows you to transfer your iPhone Messages, Voicemails, Contacts, Calendars and more files to your Mac for backup. What’s more, it can make your iPhone/iPod/iPad as an external hard drive, so you can directly access your iDevice photos, videos or music.

However, iExplorer is not a perfect gadget. If you want to mount your iPhone/iPad/iPod to Mac and view the files directly, you have to install disk mounting and QuickTime drive. That will take up large space of your Mac hard drive. The worse thing is that iExploer does not allow you to transfer music, videos, photos and other files to iDevice. So you have to look for an iExlporer alternative if you want to do more things rather than exporting or viewing.
