Airdrop Photos Not Showing Up on MacBook Pro After Transfer Hi! I am unable to locate airdropped photos in downloads after they supposedly transfer from my iPhone. I initiate the drop from my phone and it says "Sent" but there is nothing in the Downloads folder or anywhere on the computer. Tried sending a photo from my husband's iPhone and I get the request on my MacBook, click on "Accept" and choose "Save to Downloads" and again nothing. I run a search on the computer and nothing. This happened suddenly with no changes or upgrades in between, it seems it was working a few days ago and now not. I am using a MacBook Pro 16", 2021 running OS Ventura version 13.2. Both iPhones are 13 Pro Max running iOS 16.3. Thank you for any help!
