after hours trying, I couldn't, iCloud was terrible slow to upload the 70GB file, I had to upgrade then downgrade the service again, Airdrop is not for this, so the iPhone turns into a gimmick for videographers to me.


There is no transparent way (copy files from one folder to another via classic ways) to do this.


My only chance was to screen record my iPhone from my mac with all the inconvenience this have!! lose quality and so on…
