I have been trying to share files from my iOS device using AirDrop. Unfortunately while I get a notification on my Mac, I cannot locate the files in my downloads folder as per usual since using Big Sur?
AirDrop files not showing when transferred to macOS Big Sur
I have the same issue
Could this help ? They advise to restart Finder.

Re-launching Finder fixed it for me.
In my case , the issue was I got wrong permission in my Downloads folder . I think this is because I removed Downloads folder from sharing configuration that as default is exist here.
