How to AirDrop to Photos App

Currently, when I AirDrop pictures from my phone to my MacBook Air, it automatically goes to my downloads folder. Is it possible to change a setting somewhere so my pictures automatically go to the Photos App instead?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

I actually found the answer to my own question haha!


  1. Go to System Preferences > Sharing > Bluetooth Sharing
  2. Change the setting "When receiving items:" from "Accept and Save" to "Ask What to Do"
