Where do files go when you AirDrop them on iOS?
Where do AirDrop files go when I transfer them between an iPad, iPhone and iPod? I AirDropped some Google Docs from my iPad to my iPhone but nothing happened; where did my files go? The file was a list of tools.
On iOS, AirDropped files open immediately and automatically in the app registered to handle them via AirDrop. If no such app exists, those files simply disappear.
Typically, if you AirDrop a document using one app, you’ll want to have the same app installed on the receiving iOS device.
