Hello.
I'm trying to transfer a couple of mkv files from my Macbook using OX X El Capitan, to my iPhone 6, which has been updated to OS 11 - every time I try and do an airdrop from Macbook to phone, I get the error message 'Airdrop failed to save, use iCloud storage instead?'. I don't want to do this and want the files on my phone. I have loads of free memory, so cana't figure out the issue. Any help would be great. Thank you :-)
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Anyone find a fix for this? I was able to send older files via airdrop just fine then when I tried a newer video file it kept sending me to save it in iCloud
Yes, legend, this worked!!!!!!!!!
Same problem. Is it the new iOS? Airdrop has failed so many times when it should be simple.
Same issue. Can someone help.
I spoke too soon. It acted as if it was working but the .mov didn't show up in my photos. I tried again and got the same error as before. This is so frustrating as I use airdrop everyday.
When exporting from Final Cut Pro, premier etc; Make sure to change video codec to H.264. Hope this helps.
This stupid issue kept me up till 3 in the morning glad I could help someone else! 💪-1F3FF;
This worked for me just fine, after many hours trying different things, Thanks!!!
ok so I'm not as familiar with this terminology, but I'm having the same issue with iMovie, so how does that translate to iMovie, I checked my format options and I can't find anything like that.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This was the exact issue
You are a legend Max!! It worked and it bugged me for a week now!! I had to create an apple account just to say THANK YOU!!
you're welcome, I had to make an apple account just to answer that question 😂
Use SHAREit instead. Video or photo will still be imported to files automatically. No need to connect via hotspot if it is iphone to iphone.
pff these options.. Thanks max you are the best
Airdrop failed to save
