[QUOTE="mzkworks, post: 1842748, member: 403803"] So still no solution to this problem. However I've found a workaround that works in 70% of the cases. 1. Open airdrop on MBP 2. On iOS choose a photo and open airdrop as you are about to share it. (the screen where you choose device) 3. MBP appears on iOS 4. Only then iOS appears on MBP, and then I can use airdrop. But only if I'm fast, it disappears after 30-60sec. 5. If this doesn't work, I turn off and on again wi-fi and bluetooth and repeat the steps above. This is an annoying solution to use daily but it works (most of the times). Hope this helps anybody with similar problem. [B]I'm still searching for general solution to the problem. So if someone has more suggestions/ideas please share it with me. Thank you[/B] @MBAmtloin not sure about the file sharing option. [/QUOTE]
