airdrop The situation is the following, I wanted to transfer a folder with a movie via airdrop from my macbook to my iphone. The folder was transferred successfully, but I can’t find it anywhere, and it’s not in the “downloads” folder either. Messages like: “Where do you want to save this folder?” didn't appear. I am sure that the forwarded folder was definitely saved on my iPhone, since the size of the phone's memory has increased.

where does airdrop store files on imac I can use airdrop on my iPhone to share files to my iMac, but I can't find them on my computer. The airdrop app doesn't have a choice of where to store and my extensions folder has airdrop connected for sharing. But where do the files go?

How to transfer files from my MacBook to my iPhone via Airdrop Hi, I'd like to transfer files from my Macbook to my iPhone via Airdrop. So that's Macbook -> iPhone. How can I do that? I've been doing it for years, but now when I use airdrop it goes to iCloud instead. I don't want my files to go to iCloud, not once, not at all, not ever - just from mac to iphone. What has changed? How do I stop it? How do I turn it off? Please, please, please - can someone tell me how to tranfer with airdrop DIRECTLY from my mac to my iphone. I don't understand how my files have been hijacked by the 'middle man' iCloud.... Please don't send me links to Apple info and webpages - if you can just give me simple steps to revert to what I've been doing for years then that would be great. Thanks for your help.

At present, iOS/iPadOS can only AirDrop individual files - not folders.

Assuming that both iPad and Mac are signed-in to iCloud with the same AppleID - and that both have a WiFi connection - have you considered simply moving data via iCloud storage?
