Q: Airdrop is missing from Finder or apps MBAir El Capitan 10.11

Airdrop does not show up in finder. It does not appear in apps. I still can use in BUT ONLY FROM MY iPHONE. If I want to transfer anything to my MBA, I have to transfer it first to MY phone. No one else's iPhone shows sees my MBAir to send it, despite that their airdrop is set to "everyone."  I cannot find my airdrop application anywhere -- but my iPhone will see my MBAir to send it things.

 

I have already checked -

my computer is compatible

I have read all the articles on Airdrop

I have insured that the other devices are set to send to everyone

I have mad certain that both bluetooth and wifi are on

I have rebooted both my MBAir and the other device

 

Any thoughts?

Thanks

MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

    Airdrop is not an app.

    Such a simple resolution. Thank you! I wonder why it didn't show up when I searched it on my MBA...

    Thanks!!!
