airdrop on mac

My airdrop doesn't work on my 2013 MAC OS X. It appears in finder but doesn't find any devices nearby. Am I missing a step to get this active? I'd like to be able to drop files from my iphone

What macOS version is installed? AirDrop requies Yosemite OS 10.10 or higher. There are other requirements shown in the last paragraph in this Apple article:

I have a Mac OS X 10.9.6 without any words like capitan or yosemite. Looks like I just miss out. Argh

Thank you so much for responding. I couldn't find my computer on any lists anywhere.
