If you want to send a large video file from one phone to another, using Google Drive as the method of transfer lets you surpass the attachment size limit you'll find with email or texts.
Likewise, using Google Drive to store large videos saves space on your phone while still giving you access to the footage, as long as you have a decent Wi-Fi or cellular connection.
If you want to move a video stored in Drive to your iPhone, the process is quick and easy. In fact, once you locate the video in Drive, you're only a few taps away from having it in your iPhone photo and video library.
Here's how to do it.
