Photos for OS X: Transfer photos with AirDrop

Transfer photos with AirDrop

You can use AirDrop to instantly share photos with anyone nearby who has a Mac or iOS device. You don’t need to set up any special accounts; you and the person you’re sending to just need to be on the same Wi-Fi network or have a Bluetooth connection.

  1. Select the photos you want to share.

  2. Click the Share button Share button in the toolbar and choose AirDrop.

    A window appears showing nearby AirDrop users.

    Note: If you don’t see the user that you want to exchange photos with, ask them to turn on AirDrop (on an iOS device) or open AirDrop in the Finder (on a Mac).

  3. Click the person you wan to share with and click Done.
