AirDrop will work between your Mac and another Mac compatible with AirDrop ("Legacy AirDrop"):


"To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need one of the Mac models listed below and OS X Lion or later.


MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*

MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)

MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*

iMac (Early 2009 or newer)

Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)

Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)

*The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop."


AirDrop cannot be used between your Mac and iOS devices:

"In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed and your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model."
