Can you give an example of what you are trying to share using AirDrop so I can show you how it works?

AirDrop has been known to be finicky. I have had issues with it myself. This article provides some suggestions:

Just to be clear, according to:

How to use AirDrop with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

You need to turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on all devices. If you want to share with your contacts, you also need to sign in to iCloud.

Have you done all that?
