What is CopyTrans Studio?
CopyTrans Studio is a brand new desktop application developed by Ursa Minor.
Ursa Minor is the developer of CopyTrans suite that exists since 2004. The suite includes a set of 11 products that facilitate iPhone management from PC and also give the user some new exciting features that aren’t available for regular iOS users. Our products are sold all over the world and are translated into 5 languages: English, German, French, Japanese, and Spanish.
Get to know our story...
One day, our founder David was surfing in Australia and had an idea of how convenient it would be if we could just add music directly to iTunes. This is how CopyTrans was created. It quickly became one of the most popular ways to back up iPod music to iTunes and then gave birth to other products of the CopyTrans brand, such as CopyTrans Cloudly, CopyTrans Backup Extractor, and CopyTrans Photo.Time goes on, and we’ve decided to give a swirl to our classic ways. We believe that our users who happen to use iOS devices and Windows computers deserve a faster connection, a handier interface, and even more freedom with their data. That is why we are now developing CopyTrans Studio. It is a completely new approach to the management of iPhone files on Windows PC: iPhone contents are now integrated into Windows Explorer.
