If you own an iPhone model with low storage, it’s likely you cut corners to manage your space better. You likely have to keep space free for the apps you need and thus have to keep fewer photos and music files on the device. One way to conserve space on a device is to use apps like Spotify to fuel your music needs but if you’re mostly working next to or near a desktop, you can use Home Sharing to get music from your PC on your iPhone without needing any extra apps. Here’s how.

First things first, you may have noticed that the article was written from a PC user’s point of view. In this case, it doesn’t make a difference. Enabling Home Sharing works the same way on Mac and PC.

Home Sharing is not just for your iPhone. But if you are on the same network as your Mac and want to save space on your phone, this is an easy way to use your Mac as a music server.
