(These settings are also useful for ensuring you don't become the victim of an unsolicited AirDrop share.) There is one inactive setting and two active settings for AirDrop: Receiving Off prevents anyone from sharing anything with you over AirDrop, while Everyone accepts shares from any sender, and Contacts Only limits shares to people whose email address or mobile number appears in your contacts. If AirDrop is not listed as an option, then your Mac is not compatible with the feature. You can confirm that your Mac is compatible with AirDrop by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock and selecting Go in the menu bar. Mac: All Mac models released in 2012 and later and running OS X Yosemite or later support AirDrop. IPhone and iPad: To use AirDrop on iOS, you'll need an iPhone 5 or later, iPad 4 or later, iPad mini, or fifth-generation iPod touch. Since AirDrop can be used between Macs, iPhones, and iPads, the first thing to check if you’re having a problem with AirDrop is to make sure your devices support it.
