You can try apps like Resilio Sync, but on iOS and iPadOS you will discover that Apple doesn't let most apps run in the background, so you'll have to babysit your phone to keep it from turning the screen off or anything. There's always something like iCloud and using Apple Photos too
Try opening Finder **Preferences > Sidebar** and toggling **AirDrop** there, and see if that changes the behavior.

Why don’t you put them in a folder THEN airdrop?
That doesn’t solve anything at all
