Airdrop Cancelled Immediately with no error message visible

When Airdrop fails, a descriptive message would help, rather than a bogus "Airdrop was cancelled" message. Then it would be easier to troubleshoot the problem using the information in the error message. Airdropping a large movie from my iPhone X to my iMac 17,1 with 32 Gigs Ram used to work consistently, but not anymore.

AirDrop On iPhone SE IOS 16.6.1 I am able to AirDrop photos and videos from my phone to my MacBook Pro (Ventura 13.14.1) for a little while with no issues, then out of the blue I get an error message that says "No People Found", and at that point there's nothing I can do except keep trying my AirDrop repeatedly until it starts working again. This is disruptive to my work. How do I override/remove this message?

Airdrop Unable to Share I keep getting a frustrating error when attempting to Airdrop from my iPad mini 4 to my Macbook Pro, all running on the latest IOS and OS systems however I am getting the error "UNABLE TO SHARE, There was an error while preparing to share. Please try again later". After numerous attempts one lot of 100 items were sent but now I keep getting that error. I find this extremely frustrating when previous apple reps have said there are no data limitations or item limits to the ability to transfer however the capability is obviously flawed or limited in one way or another.
