I'm using WinMerge to compare files from a PC folder to a folder on my iPhone.
WinMerge requires the file path for each location, so grabbing my desktop folder location is no issue: C:UsersTrevorDesktopPhotos.
However, WinMerge won't recognize my iPhone path as a proper location. When I copy this path from the title bar, it shows as This PCApple iPhoneInternal StorageDCIM. I assume it won't recognize because This PC is the source instead of a conventional drive.
How do I fix this? I would expect my iPhone to appear as a normal D: or E: drive, but I don't know how to do this. I selected Display the full path in the title bar from Control Panel, and the title bar still only displays This PC.

Android devices (and I suspect iPhones as well) do not report themselves as "standard" storage devices to your operating system. Instead they report as self-managing devices that use the Media Transfer Protocol. The do not show up as a drive because your operating system has no access to it at the storage level, it is essentially an intelligent file sharing device over a USB network. You will need to copy whatever files you want to compare to your computer and examine them there.

@Mokubai iPhones are Apple products, which means it is far stricter than Android. It is very toned down because Apple wants you to use iTunes to do all the stuff. So I'm not even sure it is a Media Transfer Protocol.

Also, the only way this may even remotely work, is by copying everything from the iPhone to a folder on your computer, and compare it once it is there, then remove everything from the iPhone, and copy back the result after the compare.
