What is Apple airdrop?

Apple AirDrop is a native feature in iOS and OS X that lets users share data from one device to another on the same Wi-Fi network. AirDrop allows users to share photos, videos, websites and locations between devices that are up to about 30 feet apart.

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.

What does everyone mean on airdrop?

"Everyone" means that any person with an Apple device in range can see your device. Apple lists the range of AirDrop as roughly 30 feet. To make a drop, first select the content you want to share and tap the share button, which looks like a box with an arrow coming out of it.

What are the advantages of airdrop?

One advantage to AirDrop is the use of Wi-Fi to make the connection. Some apps provide a similar file sharing capability using Bluetooth. And some Android devices use a combination of Near Field Communications (NFC) and Bluetooth to share files.
