Hi qin36,


Which device are you trying to AirDrop from?

Use AirDrop on iPhone to send items to nearby devices


What are you trying to send? Can you explain which steps you've taken? There's not really a send button, it's that you choose share and pick the discovered device, then the device accepts it.


"If you AirDrop something to yourself, like a photo from your iPhone to your Mac, you won't see an option to Accept or Decline—it'll automatically get sent to your device. Just make sure that both devices are signed in with the same Apple ID." This is mentioned in: How to use AirDrop on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Let us know if that helps.


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.

Having the same issue. AirDropping my Apple Card statement from my iPhone 14 to Mac Pro M1. On the iPhone, I see the icon for MacBook Pro in "AirDrop a Copy". I touch the icon and it says "waiting", then "sending", then "sent". I have searched the Download folder on the Mac, and have searched the entire Mac for QFX files. Cannot find it anywhere.


In AirDrop on the Mac it shows my phone, and on the phone it shows my Mac, so they are signed in to the same Cloud account. I have no VPN active. Not sure what else to do.
