Hi all
A beginner question: after airdropping some mp4/mpg files from my MacBook to iPhone SE, I cannot find those files in my iPhone.
I search for it and it said it is in my Photo app or Video app, but unfortunately those video files does not exist.
Can anyone please tell me where are those files?
Apple should create a folder called "AirDrop" so that we can locate the files much easier.
Thank you.
Mac Book, Mac OS X (10.6.1)
Hi
When items are sent using AirDrop from a Max to an iPhone, they appear in the appropriate app. For example, photos appear in the Photos app and websites appear in Safari.

Hi Jonathan
But the problem is that I cannot find it in those "appropriate apps". Video is not shown in "photo" or "video" app.
I have this same issue.
Devices:
I can AirDrop a video from iPhone to Mac, but where does the video go when I AirDrop from Mac to iPhone? It doesn't appear in the Photos or TV apps.
Thanks.
This is not a format issue. THE RECEIVING iPAD ACKNOWLEDGES THE INCOMING VIDEOS. BUT THEY DO NOT APPEAR IN THE PHOTOS APP. WHERE CAN AIRDROPPED VIDEOS BE FOUND?
I have the same issue with airdropping, but from iOS to Mac OS. Videos are air dropped to downloads folder on mac OS but are hidden for some reason. Mac OS also acknowledges them coming in, but defaults them as hidden files. (Command + Shift + .) will unhide on OS, not sure how to do this on iOS?
For me, they showed up in the Downloads folder and open with Quicktime.
Even if I try to export or save them they end up in Documents.
I don't understand why or how to make them happily live in the Photo Album of my MacBook Pro.
Yes I am finding the same issue.
You have to first convert the video from .mpg to .m4v or another Apple friendly format. Just play the video in QuickTime, use File -> Export. Once you airdrop it, the file will be in Photos app.
Where are the files when airdrop video from MacBook to iPhone?
