Hey Estoldt,
Thanks for the question. Let's check to make sure AirDrop is enabled to show in the Finder sidebar:
OS X Mountain Lion: Organize the sidebar
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10918
Customize the list of basic sidebar items
1. Choose Finder > Preferences, and then click Sidebar.
2. Select the items you want to show in the sidebar.
Thanks,
Matt M.
