AirDrop

Hello.. I am trying to use AirDrop on my iMac. The computer is a Mid 2011 with High Sierra 10.13.6. When I try to use AirDrop there is not an option to make my iMac discoverable.. Also in Preferences/Extensions/Share Menu the AirDrop and Mail are greyed and not selectable.. Is there a solution to this?? Thanks, Don

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.13

How to Use AirDrop on iMac 2007 I have a iMac 2007 that runs on macOS El Capitan, It doesn’t show AirDrop in the settings but when I try to share and tap more, AirDrop shows on Settings but I can’t use. Finder Sidebar: Settings Options: Specs: (There is 1TB Hard Disk on my Mac) I use this Mac as my daily driver so I need AirDrop to exchange my files faster than WeTransfer or normal mail. Thank You!

Air Drop support is given on this article:

Looks like 2011 Macs aren't supported.

Don, I think that option didn't show up until a later OS, it still works here in 10.13.6, but you need to look in the sidebar of both Macs...
