Sharing files via airdrop

I can't share anything from any device whether it's an iPhone or an iPad to my MacBook Pro 2020. I get a notification saying "airdrop from iPhone failed", and it appears "Declined" on the device I'm sharing from. I've tried turning off Firewall, having both bluetooth + WiFI turned on, I have tried switching Bluetooth and wifi off and then on again, I also tried rebooting devices but nothing seems to work!

MacBook Pro 13″, 11.7

Just checking, do you have both WiFI & bluetooth enabled on both your iPhone/iPad and your MacBook Pro?


What version of iOS is on your iPhone & iPad; and what version of macOS is on your MBP?

Is Personal Hotspot turned off? (It should be off.)
