Watch the GIF below

If you have Contacts Only turned On then please add Apple ID of the sending device to your list of contacts on the receiving device. See the pic at the bottom of this post for better clarity

Before you begin

• Make sure that the person you're sending to is nearby and within Bluetooth and Wi-Fi range.
• Check that you and the person you're sending to have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on. If either of you have Personal Hotspot on, turn it off.
• Check if the person you're sending to has their AirDrop set to receive from Contacts Only. If they do, and you’re in their Contacts, they need to have your email address or mobile number in your contact card for AirDrop to work.
• If you're not in their Contacts, have them set their AirDrop receiving setting to Everyone in order to receive the file.

You can put your AirDrop receiving setting to Contacts Only or Receiving Off at any time to control who can see your device and send you content in AirDrop.

If I synch the iPhone to the Mac I will loose all of the media created with the phone not present in the Mac.

Though the above is not clear to me.

However, have you used Image Capture to transfer images and video clips to your Mac from a camera, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or other device that has a camera.

I have been unable to transfer ANY large files (over 100mb) between my Mac to my iPhone or the iCloud to the Iphone. Basically I edit videos with the Mac and then transfer to the phone to be shared on social media HOWEVER. Airdrop never saves the video instead it says it failed to save and ask if I want to put on Files. As everyone knows social media apps don't recognize Files app as a source of media so it useless. If I save to files there is no option to "save video" and move to the gallery. If I save it to the iCloud and the download the IOS will save to files automatically and no option to transfer to gallery. If I synch the iPhone to the Mac I will loose all of the media created with the phone not present in the Mac. If I download a third party software I have to pay 40-50 dollars.

I reset both Mac OS and IOS, updated to the tastes software version, cleaned up storage and spent about 7 hours searching the web for a solution that does not exist.

WHY can apple users simply transfer 1 file between their computer to their phone? Windows and android this task is completed with 1 click and drag, no more than 10 seconds, but here I am stuck with the apple ecosystem where I can even transfer a video between two devices. Airdrop never EVER works.

Files that are 100MB or larger shouldn't typically pose problems when using Airdrop, but if you have numerous files, you might encounter some issues. Please refer to the image below for clarification.
