I noticed that after updating to Sequoia, AirDrop has disappeared from the Finder sidebar. If I try to add it back from the settings, it appears for a fraction of a second, then the checkbox deselects itself again. If I navigate to AirDrop from the Go menu, all appears normal and it works correctly so I am unsure why this is happening
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.0
I had the exact same issue and it was driving me crazy. Then I read this post from OP (Cannot add AirDrop to Finder sidebar in S… - Apple Community) where he wrote he switched of all iPads and iPhones. So I switched off my iPhone and iPad and restarted my Macbook and it started to work again like a charm. Really weird, but maybe this really depends on interfering devices (maybe running on the same Apple-ID)? After my Mac worked again, I switched my iPhone and iPad back on and it still works.
Thx
We see the report
Will get back to you shortly
Ok thanks. I'll have to give that a go in a few days when I'm not using the machine for work!
Thanks, just worked for me.
Did not work for me.
Same here with a new Mac mini m4
No change with 15.1.1
Thanks. Strange, but it worked for me too.
...until it disappeared again.
Still no fix with 15.2
Until you boot again.
No luck
Did not work. Only temporary. next boot it is gone again.
Oh sadly, yes...
Not for me. Still doesn't hold the setting.
Still no fix with 15.3
This is weird. I started my Mac up 4 times yesterday after 15.3 and no issue. Today I restarted and Airdrop was gone from side bar. Not sure what is happening here.
