Q: I can't use airdrop with two Mac Book Air

I have a MacBook Air 13" and I can´t send files using AirDrop to another MacBook Air. Both computers use OS X El Capitan 10.11.1 and we can´t see each other in AirDrop

MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2013)

    Use AirDrop to send content from your Mac - Apple Support

    • If you're sending to a Mac:
      • If the receiving Mac is using OS X Mavericks, Mountain Lion, or Lion, it needs to have an AirDrop window open: choose Go > AirDrop from the menu bar in the Finder.
      • If the receiving Mac is a 2012 or older model, click “Don't see who you're looking for?” in the AirDrop window or sharing sheet of the sending Mac. Then click “Search for an Older Mac.”
      • Find out if the Mac has “Block all incoming connections” turned on in Security & Privacy preferences. A Mac won't receive items using AirDrop if this setting is turned on.
    • If AirDrop on the receiving device is set up to receive items from contacts only, make sure that both devices are signed in to iCloud. Also make sure that the email address or phone number associated with your Apple ID is in the Contacts app of the receiving device.
