Hello,


This article give some information on where to find them but I remember being confused where to find items when I airdropped from my iPhone to Mac and recommend using iCloud Drive if possible. It makes sharing documents between devices much easier.


How to use AirDrop on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

"If you tap Accept, the AirDrop will come through within the same app it was sent from. For example, photos appear in the Photos app and websites open in Safari. App links open in the App Store so you can download or purchase the app.

If you AirDrop something to yourself, like a photo from your iPhone to your Mac, you won't see an option to Accept or Decline — it'll automatically get sent to your device. Just make sure that both devices are signed in with the same Apple ID"

I hope this helps.
