How to make make my Mac Pro recognizable to receive Airdrops?

I want to receive an Airdrop file from a nearby computer. (It worked fine 2 weeks ago.) Now the MacPro is not detected by the MacBook Pro laptop.

On the Mac Pro, I go to AirDrop, and I turn on "allow me to b discovered by Everyone."

I go back to the laptop. I right-click a file, Share via Airdrop. It does not detect the MacPro.


What else can I do? Should I reboot the MacPro to update the AirDrop settings?

Mac Pro, macOS 10.15

Did a full reboot on the MacPro. _Now_ it found everything in the room - laptop, phone, etc. And everything found it.
