I put together this video to show how to use AirDrop on a Mac to instantly send files, images, and even videos between Apple devices.

AirDrop is one of the fastest and most convenient ways to transfer files — no cables, no USB drives, just a couple of clicks.

In this tutorial, I walk through:

  1. How to open AirDrop from Finder or the menu bar
  2. Making your device discoverable (Contacts Only vs Everyone)
  3. Sending files from Mac to iPhone and vice versa
  4. Accepting transfers on mobile devices
  5. Troubleshooting tips when AirDrop doesn’t show up

I also explain how I use AirDrop daily — especially when transferring screenshots, thumbnails, or raw footage between devices.

Are you using AirDrop often, or still plugging in cables for file sharing?
