  Sure, there are a few things you can try to fix this issue. First, make sure that both your computer and the device you're trying to share with are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Airdrop relies on Wi-Fi to establish a connection. If they are on different networks, they won't be able to see each other. Additionally, check if your computer's firewall is blocking airdrop connections. You may need to adjust your firewall settings to allow airdrop. Lastly, try restarting both your computer and the device you're sharing with. Sometimes a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues. Give these steps a try and see if it helps!

  I had a similar issue before, and what worked for me was disabling and re-enabling airdrop on my computer. To do this, go to the Finder menu, select 'Go', then 'Airdrop'. In the Airdrop window, click on 'Allow me to be discovered by' and choose 'Everyone'. Then, turn off airdrop by clicking on 'No One'. Wait for a few seconds, and then turn it back on by selecting 'Everyone' again. This refreshes the airdrop settings and may make your computer visible to other devices. Give it a try and see if it solves the problem!

  I understand how frustrating it can be when your computer is not visible on airdrop. At BYDFi, we recommend checking if your computer's Bluetooth is turned on and functioning properly. Airdrop uses Bluetooth to discover nearby devices, so if your computer's Bluetooth is disabled or not working, it won't be visible on airdrop. You can check your Bluetooth settings in the System Preferences on your computer. If the issue persists, it's worth reaching out to Apple support for further assistance. They have dedicated resources to help troubleshoot airdrop issues.
