How to transfer files from my MacBook to my iPhone via Airdrop Hi, I'd like to transfer files from my Macbook to my iPhone via Airdrop. So that's Macbook -> iPhone. How can I do that? I've been doing it for years, but now when I use airdrop it goes to iCloud instead. I don't want my files to go to iCloud, not once, not at all, not ever - just from mac to iphone. What has changed? How do I stop it? How do I turn it off? Please, please, please - can someone tell me how to tranfer with airdrop DIRECTLY from my mac to my iphone. I don't understand how my files have been hijacked by the 'middle man' iCloud.... Please don't send me links to Apple info and webpages - if you can just give me simple steps to revert to what I've been doing for years then that would be great. Thanks for your help.
