You must be in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi range. So both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network, and within about 40 feet (13m) of each other.

AirDrop will use either Wifi or Bluetooth if Wifi is not available.

So as long as both devices are on the same Wifi network, or within BT range, it will work.

Bluetooth range is about 30 feet.
