As I understand it, AirDrop isn't something with an on or off switch. It's just there. If you don't want to use it, you don't have to.


You can change "Allow me to be discovered by" to No One.

Why do you want to disable it?


I've found articles that give instructions on how to disable it using Terminal. However, those are not instruction I feel comfortable passing on. Easy enough to find with a simple internet search.
