From phone or PC?

Answer 2

The simplest option. It is worth adding checks in the form of try..except in case of errors.

@bot.message_handler(content_types=['document'])
def get_file(message):
    file_name = message.document.file_name
    file_info = bot.get_file(message.document.file_id)
    with open(file_name, "wb") as f:
        file_content = bot.download_file(file_info.file_path)
        f.write(file_content)
    bot.reply_to(message, f"OK. Сохранил {file_name}")

The types of received files are just written in content_types, i.e. for video you will need to use 'video' (add to list or replace).
I looked, you need to use other tags for the video, and for some reason it doesn’t work by analogy with document, but this is how it should be

@bot.message_handler(content_types=['video'])
def get_file(message):
    file_name = message.json['video']['file_name']
    file_info = bot.get_file(message.video.file_id)
    with open(file_name, "wb") as f:
        file_content = bot.download_file(file_info.file_path)
        f.write(file_content)
    bot.reply_to(message, f"OK. Сохранил {file_name}")
