Q: How do I use Airdrop btwn Macbook & iPhone?

Neither is currently supported. You can use AirDrop to share content from one iOS7 device to another iOS7 device: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5887

You can also use AirDrop to share between one OS X Mac computer and another OS X Mac Computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4783

But you cannot currently use AirDrop to share between a computer and an iPhone.

The only supported Bluetooth profile between an iPhone and a computer is for tethering (sharing internet connection/hotspot) and that is only if your cellular plan supports it. Sharing data between the iPhone and computer is not supported. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647

a very progressive solution ) front end, some might say ))))

On the basis AirDrop is slow and often 'hit & miss' just between iOS devices, perhaps this is not a technology worth pursuing between iOS and OS X? It generally proves much quicker to transfer files via Mail. Are there any alternative technologies or reliable updates/fixes likely to be coming soon to this space?
