Airdrop is a great feature that allows you to quickly and easily share files between Apple devices. However, some Mac users might not know how to turn on Airdrop on their computers. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to activate Airdrop on your Mac.
First, click on the “Go” tab at the top of your screen. Then, click on “Finder”. From there, select “Airdrop” from the drop-down menu. Once you have clicked on Airdrop, you will see a screen that prompts you to make sure your Bluetooth is turned on. If your Bluetooth is not on, you can turn it on from this screen.
Once Bluetooth is enabled, you will need to click on the hyperlink that says “Allow me to be discovered by”. By default, it will say “No one”. Click on the drop-down menu and select “Everyone” or “Contacts”. If you choose “Everyone”, your Mac will be discoverable by anyone nearby. If you only want to share with your contacts, select that option.
Now, if you have an iPhone, you will need to turn on Airdrop on it as well. To share a picture with an iPhone nearby, you will need to turn on Airdrop on both your Mac and your iPhone. Once Airdrop is enabled on your iPhone, it will appear on the Airdrop screen on your Mac.
That’s all there is to it! With these simple steps, you can now turn on Airdrop on your Mac and start sharing files with nearby devices. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below.
