I received a file from a friend via airdrop, by accident I hit the decline button. Is it possible to retrieve the file even though they are not within range so I can ask them to send it again?

I am running the latest version of IOS.

Thank you in advance.

Sorry no.

Send them a text and ask them to text it to you.
