Transfer of an AVI-file via AirDrop from iPad to iPhone seemed to be okay.
Unfortunately I cannot fond this file on the iPhone. None of the installed apps is storing the file.
How can i find the file on the phone?

Did you already check the Photo or Video App on the phone?
...
If you tap Accept, you get the content in the app it was sent from. For example, photos appear in the Photos app and websites open in Safari. App links open in the App Store so you can download or purchase the app.

Sorry, I forgot:
".... If you AirDrop content to yourself, like share a photo from your iPhone to your Mac, you won't see an option to Accept or Decline. The content is automatically sent to that device. Just make sure that both devices are signed in with the same Apple ID...."
OK, I just tried AirDrop between two iPhone 5s, different Apple ID's, but same Wi-Fi Network and Bluetooth activated.
I sent a photo and a video file, both ended up in the "Photos" app on the other device.
Both devices running iOS10.3.1
I checked almost every app on the phone. I also connected the phone to my MacBook and checked the files there. In vain.
If I accept the file on the phone, there is no content of an app, just the progress circle indicates receiving the file.
Thanks.

jpg an mov no problem, but AVI-format disappears.
Did you send an AVI-video-file?
Just checked that, I did send a mp4-video file.
There are no AVI files on the phone at the moment.
Thanks again. This is my problem. mp4, mov work fine. Avi disappears somewhere. It eats memory, so I know, it must be somewhere.
iPad: AVI-file => AirDrop => iPhone: location?
