Finder is how you open all files, and it is always the first thing in the
dock.. I played around a little with my BigSir system, and I think the process
might be fairly similar.
If you are sending via airdrop, find the share in the toolbar or menus and then
there should be a sub-menu item called airdrop selecting this should give a
list of people who have AirDrop sharing turned on. Just click on the person you
are sending to.
To receive via AirDrop.
1. Click VO-D to open the Dock.
2. click VO-Fn-right to goto first item in dock. VoiceOver should say Finder.
3. press vo-space to open the finder .
4. Find the SideBar in the finder and then use VO-I to bring up the item
chooser and click on AirDrop. Alternatively, at least in BigSir there is a
AirDrop in the Goto menu with a shortcut of command-shift-R.
5. Go back to the main area of the finder window and you should be able to
indicate accept Airdrop from nobody, contacts or everybody. In BigSIr this
shows up as a set of Radio buttons. I did have some issues using arrow keys, to
switch from everybody to contacts.
6. When person sends you something a dialog should come up asking you if you
want to accept the document.
You know! You could have probably asked Google exactly what you asked the list,
but it is always fun to try and explain things!
Best wishes,
