Airdrop not finding Mac

I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2016) and an iMac ((Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017)). My MacBook Pro sees my iMac in Airdrop but my iMac doesn't see my MacBook Pro. Both machines have OSX 10.14.4 installed. It used to work before until recently when I did a Mojave update.

Does anyone know why I'm having this issue and what's the solution?

Thank you.

AirDrop doesn't work properly Hello guys, I have 13" MacBook Pro (Early 2015) and my AirDrop doesn't work. I cannot see my friend's MacBook or my iPhone (My friend also cannot see my Mac). I tried many solutions, even reinstall the macOS Mojave, but it still doesn't work. I cannot even change the settings (e. g. Everyone, Contacts only, etc.) In System Report it says "Airdrop: Supported). I have my Bluetooth and WiFi on, Firewall is off. Do you have any ideas how to solve this problem? Thanks for every help.

Reset the NVRAM on both machines and then retest.
