Airdrop videos go to 'files' not photos.

i have a problem, whenever i airdrop some of the videos i create through my MacBook Pro, to my iPhone 13, they never go to my camera roll, but to an app named "Files". Please help, i don't know what to do.


I found this question somewhere else and it said to go to the share button of the video in the files and you can save it to your photos from there, but I don't have that option.



MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

I have the same problem, I am trying to send a video from my Mac mini to my iPhone 13. The video airdrops but only opens in the 'Files' app instead of the Photos app. When in the 'Files' app opening the video and trying to save video from pressing the drop down arrow at the middle top of the screen leads to a message saying 'Error saving video.'
