Anyone notice this issue where you send a big file, (multi-gigabyte) from macos to visionpro via AirDrop?

It takes a long time, (not really a great way to transfer data), but seems to be progressing fine.

Then at the end, you get a notification that the airdrop failed to save, and a suggestion to save to iCloud instead.

AirDrop
Failed to save item. Save to icloud drive instead?

I'm using the smallest version of the product, but it at least appears taht there's 100gb free and I'm having this happen trying to bring over 5-6gb files.

At the very least, it seems like the device should give better feedback up front that a file is going to fail to be saved.

Whereas instead, visionOS seems almost surprised it wasn't able to accommodate the request.

Yes I had this exact same thing happen to me for an 80GB file.

Airdrop failed right at the end, via iCloud worked. 🤷‍♂️

Crazy, but hopefully something they will fix in time.
