Next time you try sharing something, tap the small Airdrop icon. Sometimes iPhone's won't automatically register and recognize devices if they've never been connected before.

Also, even though I'm sure you've done this - make sure in the Control Center, that you have Airdrop set to "Airdrop: Everyone".

Good luck!

Does your bluetooth work with other devices normally (excluding Airdrop)? And can you Airdrop from a different device to your iPhone, or can you not Airdrop to and from your iPhone?

Have you tried another wifi network? I've found often mine is hit and miss and gave up troubleshooting. Or even go out where you don't have wifi (or turn your router off) to see if your devices can create a p2p network.
