Hello Deladee01, 


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you'd like to have information about using AirDrop. 


The biggest difference between AirDrop and sending an attachment through Messages or Email is that with AirDrop the attachment isn't going through a service. You can only use AirDrop with other nearby iOS device and Mac computers. Both devices must have their Bluetooth turned on. You'll need to be signed in with your Apple ID also.

All the best.
