Thanks!

Think of AirDrop as a kind os shared folder - when people send things to you via AirDrop they're effectively copying a file to a specific (shared) folder on your machine.


To access the file, just use Finder -> Go -> AirDrop - this should open your AirDrop folder where you can see the files you were sent. You can then drag/copy them to any other location on your machine and access it like any other file.
