I'm going to show you how to AirDrop files from my Mac to my iPhone. I'm also going to
show you how to AirDrop files from my iPhone to my Mac. If you want to rapidly transfer
files between your Mac computer and your iPhone or vice versa, AirDrop is the easiest and
fastest way to do it. In this video, I'm going to show you the requirements, how to verify
Mac support for AirDrop, and also go over some troubleshooting tips. Hi, my name is
Herman Drost. If you want to grow your audience on YouTube, and generate traffic, leads, and
sales on autopilot, hit the subscribe button and click the bell notification icon, so you're

send videos, photos, documents, map locations, websites, and more to a nearby iPhone, Mac,
iPad, or iPod Touch. Here are two ways to verify Mac support for AirDrop. On my iMac,
I just click on Finder. You can see AirDrop at the top here. Alternatively, click on the
Apple icon. Click About This Mac. Click System Support. Under Network, click Wi-Fi. Under
the Interfaces section, you'll see AirDrop Supported. Here are the steps to AirDrop your
video from Mac to iPhone. Click the icon at the top here to make sure that your Bluetooth
is on. Select the video that you wish to AirDrop. I'm going to select this one. Just drag it
to AirDrop. Now it's finding the phone. Just drop it on
top of that. Now it's sending the file. Let's check the phone. Here's my .mp4 file I've
just sent from the iMac to my phone. Here's how to transfer a photo from Mac to iPhone.
Tap Finder. Select the file that I want to transfer from my iMac to my iPhone. I'm going
to select this thumbnail image. Drag it onto AirDrop. Now it's looking for my phone. Drag
it on top of there. Now it's sending it to my phone, and here it is on my phone. Here's
how to AirDrop from iPhone to Mac. Tap Photos. Tap the video clip. Tap the icon in the bottom
left. You can see that the iMac automatically shows up on my iPhone. I tap the icon. My
Mac is now receiving the video from my iPhone. My Mac accepted the file, and here it is in
my Finder. I tap on the file, and here's my video clip. What are some of the requirements?
Mac device such as a computer, iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone. Turn on BlueTooth for your
device. Make sure that both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is turned on. It's not compulsory, but it
helps that both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. Devices must be within 30 feet of
each other, but preferably less. Remove any physical objects between both devices during
the transfer. Use the Everyone option in the tab that says, "Allow me to be discovered
by." Deactivate Airplane Mode. If Airplane Mode is activated, it shuts down the wireless
reception. Make sure you have the Do Not Disturb mode
turned off. Otherwise, it'll render your device inaccessible. Switch off Personal Hotspot
because both require a Wi-Fi connection. Here are three ways that I use AirDrop to transfer
files between my Mac devices. Number one, transfer b-roll footage from my iPhone to
my Mac. I often take photos or videos with my phone while I'm out and about that I can
use in future videos. Number two, transfer files from my iMac to my iPhone. I often extract
short video clips of YouTube videos that are stored on my Mac and transfer them to my iPhone
so they can post them on Instagram. AirDrop makes it really easy because I can transfer
the files within a few minutes. Number three, send files between my iPhone
and my daughter's iPhone. Whenever I want to transfer a photo or video to my daughter's
iPhone or vice versa, I use AirDrop. I've just got to make sure that the phones are
within a few feet of each other. Let me ask you a question. How do you currently transfer
video files between your Mac and your iPhone? Post your answer in the comments below. I'd
love to read them, and I'm sure others would too. Do you want to know how to make a slideshow
