I was trying to play around with this last night and still can't get it to work.
I'm trying to send a file to my husband's mac which is on our home network. His wifi is definitely on and so is mine. First I went to where the file I wanted to airdrop was and interacted with it and did vo comma, then I went to my network and to the other mac and did command shift r for airdrop and did vo period but it said that the item was no longer available for airdrop. I know I'm doing something wrong, but just can't figure out what. Thanks for any help..
