on my iPad I have more than a hundred attachments to Messages. I want to send them to my iMac. How do I Airdrop multiple attachments? Or must I Airdrop them one-by-one?

You would need to save them from the Messages App into the Files App for instance and from there you can select. multiple files to AirDrop.
With that said, is your Mac not getting the messages from your iPad?
iMessages on your iPad should appear directly on the Mac if both devices are using the same Apple Account.
Or are you using a specific App on the iPad for these messages?

Could zip the files.
Presumably you refer to the Apple Messages App. Have you considered simply enabling iCloud Messages on both the iPad and Mac? If you do, all your Messages (with any attachments) will be automatically synchronised between and available on both devices.
Set up iCloud for Messages on all your devices - Apple Support
Thank you LotusPilot
There are a few dozen GB of attachments to Messages. I use only the free 5GB version of iCloud. I back up my data up on some hard drives, including one for Time Machine.
I am having to Airdrop a couple of hundred attachments to Messages from the iPad to my iMac so I can give the iPad away. It would be handy to do that all in one action or perhaps 50 attachments at a time, instead of one by one.
Can I AirDrop multiple attachments and messages from iPad to iMac?
