      I am having one ubuntu OS in my phone(Android) and my friend needs to copy it to his phone for using the ISO file for making the file as bootable in his pendrive.so only trying to transfer the file to his phone.

      But you can't do that with an iPhone, right? We are missing how this is useful in achieving what you are stating. What good will the ISO be to him on his iPhone? How will he use it?

      again, exactly.

      Why put it on his iPhone, the ISO will have to end up on a Windows/MAC/Linux machine so you can create the bootable pendrive.

        My friend is having laptop in his home and will transfer the ISO file to his laptop.

          So why isn't a USB stick useful?

              Does the friend with an iPhone not have a memory stick with them?

              Assuming everyone has good internet access in all locations, this is what I would do.

              Android user uploads the ISO to google drive or OneDrive. Shares the file with the iPhone friend. The iPhone friend goes home and from laptop downloads the ISO from the link provided by Android friend.

              Now the file is on the laptop.

                  Connected, of course. But connecting, as you know, is not enough. It needs a file transfer mechanism, just like Bluetooth does. So the question remains... if he takes his iPhone and plugs it into the USB of his laptop... can you transfer a file? I don't believe so.

                    yeah - you can, with the help of iTunes, actually make an iPhone/iPod into a mobile storage device aka memory stick. But again, huge pain, not working as designed.

                        You need to stop trying to use the phones in a way that neither of them are meant to be used. Install drop box or Onedrive on a desktop transfer the ISO file to the account and then the person can go home and log in to which ever one you pick and get the file that way.

                        Or get a USB stick and copy the file to it from a desktop/laptop and hand it to your friend.

                              If he could use OneDrive, the friend could just download the ISO directly. Obviously the issue here is no Internet access. But the answer should not be phones, it should be a USB stick.

                                Agreed.

                                The Android user should connect the Android phone to a local computer and transfer the file to the computer. Then plug in a USB memory stick and transfer the file from the local computer to the USB stick.

                                Then the iPhone user can take the USB stick home.

                                this would be the fastest solution.

                                  Cloud storage would be twice as expensive as downloading it again on a metered connection.
                                  No Internet connection, then... SD, micro SD or USB. They are the only methods that are going to accomplish the transfer in a reliable and fast way.
                                  Bluetooth will probably crap out part way through.

                                  You MIGHT be able to use AirDrop or WiFI Direct but I've never used them before and not every device is compatible with either or both.

                                        Well, you mentioned that the iPhone friend has a laptop, ask him to bring it to work tomorrow and leave it in the car. Then at lunch go out to his car and plug the android phone into the laptop and transfer the file directly to his laptop.

                                          Sounds like trying to bypass the rules on a technicality. If you can plug your phone into a USB port and use it as storage, it becomes a USB stick and wouldn't be allowed in the office.

                                            Yup, just do it outside rather than inside.
