Q: Late 2013 mac pro - no Airdrop to be found

I can't find airdrop on my MacPro even though I have Yosemite, and the correct computer. It's not in finder preferences or under the go menu. My co-workers computer comes up in airdrop, but not mine. We have the exact same computer.

Any ideas where I could find it, or install it?

Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), Late 2013

In Finder>Preferences>Side Bar is AirDrop checked?

There are two more places to check:
apple > system preferences ... > bluetooth

apple > about this mac > system report [ button ]
see what bluetooth has to display [ I do not know how to read, but mine seems in conflict with what x says above ]
