Thanks for this, can you use Airdrop on an IOS 7 device to share with
Airdrop on a Mac running OSX?

Hi Dane and Others,
As Andy noted and as Sarah expanded on, Air Drop on iOS 7 can be used to share
all sorts of items. This is an iOS version and extension of the Air Drop
feature that was first implemented in Lion, to allow file sharing between
supported (generally late-model) Wi-Fi enabled Mac computers without their
having to connect through a local Wi-Fi network.
The iOS 7 version lets you use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and again is a feature of
late model devices (iPhone 5 or later, 4th Generation iPad or later, iPad Mini
or later, 5th generation iPod Touch or later). Of course, there is no later
model (yet) for the 5th generation iPod Touch, but we'll be seeing the iPad Air
and the new Retina Mini arriving soon.
Here's a link to the Apple Knowledge Base article on AirDrop in iOS:
• iOS: Using AirDrop
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5887
Note that you cannot yet use AirDrop between your iOS devices and your Mac
computer. Also, if you want to share Contacts, you need to have an iCloud
account. (This is part of the somewhat controversial feature in Mavericks of
only being able to sync your Contacts information through the Cloud.)
If you want to read the section on AirDrop in the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7,
here's the link:

For iPad users, here's the link to using AirDrop in the iPad User Guide for iOS
7:

These links won't work correctly unless you're reading on an iOS device.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther
