No "show IOS devices" option in finder sidebar preferences

My iPhone is not showing in finder sidebar on my MacBook. I have searched the internet and everyone suggest solving the problem by clicking in the finder sidebar preferences and enabling IOS devices, but I only have as an option to enable CD's, DVD's and iPods. I do not have IOS devices listed. I am using macOS Big Sur 11.5.2


Can someone help me? My files need to be specifically dragged and dropped on Itunes (Airdrop and other options don't work). Thank you!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2
