Airdrop doesn't work from desktop to iPad

I used to be able to transfer files from desktop to iPad with no problem. Now I have to "Move to iCloud to collaborate". When I accept, I can't find the file on iCloud. I've had to resort to emailing myself to get my file.


I have the current iOS and OS on my devices.


iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

I was facing the same problem. The solution was to change the drop-down list from "Collaborate" to "Send copy" on the screen that appears after clicking on "Share...".
