I used to be AirDropping round two gigabytes of video from an iPad Professional (4th gen, 11’) working iPadOS 26.2.1 to a Mac Mini (2020, M1) working macOS 15.7.7 (just lately up to date from an earlier macOS 15 minor model, 15.2 possibly?) and all of it appeared to work, together with the iPad reporting a profitable AirDrop and it took it’s time, with the progress bar behaving like it might on a working AirDrop. I’ve no backup of those and I deleted them from the iPad for storage causes, and cleared my just lately deleted in Settings below Storage. I discovered this ask totally different query and whereas they described the identical phenomenon, neither the accepted reply nor the opposite one was of any assist to me. I additionally discovered this (weblog put up?) which was additionally of no assist to me. Each gadgets have been on the identical Apple ID and the AirDrop was accepted mechanically due to that. I additionally checked my Images on the mac, which had one photograph I put there earlier immediately.
ls additionally claimed that the information have been 0 bytes in measurement.
My system is in any other case completely high quality, simply half per week’s work in video was misplaced. For the reason that AirDrop which didn’t work I’ve made a number of facetime calls and efficiently obtained one other 900mb of video information, which you’ll be able to see within the picture. There are additionally a bunch of video information with the identical naming scheme from a while in the past I transferred in the identical method which labored completely high quality.
