With AirDrop, you can instantly share your photos, videos, documents, and more with other Apple devices that are nearby. Use AirDrop to share and receive content, like photos and documents, with other Apple devices that are nearby.

Why can't I accept or decline my airdrop?

If you AirDrop something to yourself, like a photo from your iPhone to your Mac, you won't see an option to Accept or Decline — it'll automatically get sent to your device. Just make sure that both devices are signed in with the same Apple ID.
