Thanks, your script run on: Apple M1 Pro ; 13.0.1 (22A400)
you have a bug with big file because it takes a lot time to move it, so you need to add delay to this script
I'm new here and I face the exact same issue as @FuckBound. Saw you mention on adding delay to this script. Can I ask how to go about? How will the additional code look like?

Hey Guys,
anyone have an idea how to that code to be able to choose a folder every time I receive a file from airdrop? I would like to be able to do Save As, and choose the folder. In fact, I would like to avoid having to send pictures and videos to my Mac to then transfert it to a Backup drive, that way I would be able to send by airdrop directly to a drive connected to my Mac. Can you help?
