Hello jdwinc,

Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. We understand you're unable to use AirDrop on your Mac computers. We'll be happy to help.

We suggest to verify that the settings for AirDrop is properly configured on each of your Mac computers. To verify that, please follow the section in this article that says, "Before you begin": How to use AirDrop on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

In addition, we suggest to restart each of your Mac computers in safe mode. This helps to perform a basic check of your startup disk, deletes some system caches and more. Here's an article with more information and the proper steps to take: How to use safe mode on your Mac Once you're in safe mode, please restart each of your Mac computers and see if you continue to experience the same behavior.

Please keep us posted with the results.
