I've had the opposite experience with air drop... It's never worked for me even with a fair amount of tinkering. I end up just running an ssh server and scping stuff around...

Never really had an issue with it, even use it to send my details to others for contacts. Faster than handing phones around, and people then start sending me "happy birthday" texts as my contact info has that junk in it.

It depends on the user community and when.

Some of the older devices don’t support it, or people aren’t signed into iCloud or have a problem with their sign-in.
