AirDrop
AirDrop makes it easy to share les with nearby Mac computers and iOS devices.
Note: AirDrop for iOS requires devices with iOS 7 or later that have the Lightning connector. Not
all older Macs support AirDrop (for a list of supported Macs, see support.apple.com/HT203106).
Send a le from the Finder. Click the Finder icon in the Dock, then click AirDrop in the sidebar
on the left. When the person you want to send a le to appears in the window, drag the le to
him or her.
Send a le from an app. While using an app like Pages or Preview, click the Share button and
choose AirDrop.
Control who can send items to you using AirDrop. Click the Finder icon in the Dock, click
AirDrop in the sidebar, then click “Allow me to be discovered by” and choose an option.
When you send a le to someone, the recipient can choose whether or not to accept the le.
When someone sends you a le, you can nd it in the Downloads folder on your MacBook.
Tip: If you don’t see the recipient in the AirDrop window, make sure both devices have
AirDrop turned on and are within 30 feet (9 meters) of each other.
To learn more about AirDrop, go to Mac Help (see Get answers in Mac Help).
