How to Transfer Videos from Mac to iPhone

You can easily transfer videos from Mac to iPhone using Airdrop. This process is completely wireless. As long as you have WIFI and Bluetooth activated on both devices, you can transfer any video file from Mac to iPhone.

You also have to make sure the iPhone has enough storage. The transfer will fail if you don't have enough storage on the iPhone.

You can do this within the finder video on your Mac. Open two finder windows set one to Airdrop and drag and drop your video file on the iPhone icon.
Make sure your iPhone is unlocked and nearby or it won't appear.

And it's that's how to transfer videos from Mac to iPhone.

When I air drop a mp4 it sends it to my files after I air drop and it won’t open or let me open the video any help?

Pictures airdrop fine from my Mac to iPhone but videos just end up as a picture. Any ideas?

[OpenRangeStudios]

I’m able to receive the video on my phone but it goes to my files, not photos. If I try to save it to my phone or upload it to social media I get an error. I’ve tried multiple export types from premiere but no luck. Any idea what’s going wrong?

doesn't work with large files. It needs more than 10mins and my connection drops. Can you share an old way with the cable connected to the mac?
