Hello laniya81,



Thanks for that info and choosing the Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it seems you are experiencing issues with videos moved with AirDrop from your MacBook Air to your iPhone end up in the Files app. To move them from the Files app, tap on the video, then the share icon in the lower left and choose the Save Video option and this will move it to your Photos app and the Camera Roll.



Share files from iCloud Drive on iPhone



Cheers!
