AirDrop is a simple, wireless way of transferring files and projects among Apple products.
To use AirDrop:
1. Hit the share button (the box with the arrow) on the application or file you are trying to share.
The Share Box on iMovie
The share box on Photos
The share box on Book Creator
2. A menu of options will come up that are different ways to share. The top option with the blue circular symbol is the AirDrop. Within a few moments those around you who have their AirDrop turned on will appear. Tap the name of the person you wish to share with.
3. That person will need to click “Accept” on their device to receive the file.
