Airdrop large video failed

Hi Dmkchan,

Thanks for the update on this AirDrop issue.

Are you using the same Apple ID on both your iPad and iPhone or different ones? Are you able to successfully share this video through Mail or Messages? Add attachments to an email on iPhone. This can help isolate the issue a bit more. Do you have any issues receiving similar sized videos from other people?

Let us know

Hi Dmkchan,

We appreciate the additional details.

Is it possible to share that larger file with a friend or family member that is using a different Apple ID? This helps isolate the issue to your account verses the file itself.

If you continue to have issues with this file, Contact Apple Support will be your best next step.

Take care.

Hi Dmkchan,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having an issue saving a video to your iPad, when shared through AirDrop. We'd like to help!

Are you receiving any error messages about this video when you see it show up on your iPad? If you are, what does the exact message say? Are you using iCloud on your two devices? We're curious to know if this video is being saved to iCloud and shared to the iPad so you wouldn't need to AirDrop the specific file.

Then, make sure you're using AirDrop correctly by checking out this resource:
