How can I airdrop an album between Macs?

It seems quite clear to me! If you look at Apple's own description of Airdrop, it says "AirDrop lets you share instantly with people nearby". Well, I have two Macs, which at the time of writing are on the same physical desk and the same wifi network - eventually one (the laptop) will be taken somewhere far away. So right now I can share anything, right? Pictures seem a fine thing to share. As I am a good Apple citizen, and not a professional photographer, I am using Photos on both these Macs. It seems highly logical and within the spirit of AirDrop to try to share Albums from Photos. You have kindly and correctly pointed out that this isn't possible, but it the lack of this capability is counterintuitive in my opinion. Sharing is sharing. I would at least expect a message saying "sorry, you can't share albums", but there wasn't one.

As already stated, I solved the problem by making my album shared in the sense meant by Photos in its category "Shared Albums": but that involves putting a lot of photos into cyberspace, which takes a long time (without a progress indicator, BTW) and in my case wasn't required, since the wifi network is ready for speedy local transfers.

I didn't know albums were virtual - but even so, a virtual object can be recreated in another environment, can't it?

Thanks- it seems to me that both Airdrop and Photos are very clunky in this respect, since in my opinion one should expect this to work. It is also odd that there is no feedback to the user, not even an error message from either app (OK Airdrop isn’t an app exactly.)

I realise that Apple will not read this, so I will try a suggestion.
