airdrop The situation is the following, I wanted to transfer a folder with a movie via airdrop from my macbook to my iphone. The folder was transferred successfully, but I can’t find it anywhere, and it’s not in the “downloads” folder either. Messages like: “Where do you want to save this folder?” didn't appear. I am sure that the forwarded folder was definitely saved on my iPhone, since the size of the phone's memory has increased.

Airdrop Files Location in iPad Air Hi, I airdropped a PDF from my Mac to my iPad twice, and neither time was I able to locate its location. I don't use any PDF reader. Could you please help me locate the files? The same thing happens with any other file, whether music or video. I'm never able to find them. Thanks & Regards, Blair

Airdrop files are disappearing. It sounds like files have been received (MacBook Air) but they don't appear in the Downloads file. I have tried: Software Update. Off and on again. Searching for specific files that have been airdropped to this device. From my iPhone to my MacBook Air - it sounds like an Airdrop share has been successful, the phone provides the circular progress graphic and the says 'sent'. On the MacBook, however, nothing has appeared. No incoming Airdrop notification, nothing in the downloads folder, nothing in 'recents'either. I have been able to receive a picture from another phone but that would only save to photos and not to the downloads folder. Here's what I've tried Off and on again Software update Changing my downloads folder to 'read and write' Airdropping a specific file and then searching for it - nowhere to be found. Asking mac savvy friends who've all drawn a blank Any ideas, please? I regularly use this feature to share video from my phone for editing for work. Now I'm having to wait for iCloud to catch up and it's taking far too long. Thanks
