When you want to share a file using AirDrop, you just need to choose AirDrop from the share-sheet when right-clicking on a file or folder, then select AirDrop. Where is AirDrop on Mac and iPhone? Naturally, many users ask this question - but it’s not super easy to answer, because AirDrop is not available as a standalone app. This made transferring files between a Mac and iPhone or iPad difficult now that these systems play well together, there is no such problem. Before this version of OS X (now macOS), AirDrop for Mac and iOS were not interoperable. OS X Yosemite ushered in a new era for AirDrop on the Mac. You can also choose to have AirDrop block all incoming file transfers, though this setting will also make your device undiscoverable by others, so you won’t be able to send files either.


You can choose to accept files from everyone, or just those in your contacts list. It works over WiFi and Bluetooth, identifying devices nearby that can accept file transfers. The purpose of AirDrop is simple: transferring files.
