Receiving AirDrop files on your Mac

When someone else attempts to send you a file using AirDrop, you will be prompted to accept or decline the request. If you AirDrop a file to your self, such as from your iPhone device to your Mac, you will not be notified about receiving a file using AirDrop. The file you receive on your Mac is saved to your Downloads folder.

Note Note: If there's an existing file with the same name then the new file can have a number appended to its name. For example, a file named "My Finances" that was sent using AirDrop can be named "My Finances 2" if there's already a SEE Finance file named "My Finances" in your Downloads folder.
