Hi,
It does use wifi, but in a peer to peer mode. No network is needed.
Thanks,
Blake

Hi Tim,
How does Airdrop do this? It has to use some kind of communication
mechanism if there is no network.

Hi,
AirDrop is used to share items between Macs either within the same
network or just close by. So, if you were sitting on the beach, no WIFI
anywhere nearby, and were close by your friend who was smart enough to
also own a Mac, you could share files between each other using AirDrop.
Yes, it is perfectly accessible. If you wish to send your file to
someone nearby, have them select AirDrop from the Sidebar, then locate
the file/folder you wish to share with them, press VO-shift-m to bring up
the Contextual menu, choose Share, then choose AirDrop from the sub-menu.
A new window will appear letting you choose the computer that has AirDrop
ready. Select that computer then press on the Send button. The user at
the other computer has to accept the file then it begins the copy. Files
are placed in your Downloads folder for you to retrieve when the copy is
finished.
HTH.
Later...

What is Air Drop, as I use Drop box. Is it built into the Mac?

Hi there folks,
I have heard quite a few things about this AirDrop thing, is it
accessible? If so, can anybody give me an explanation on how to use it.
Both me and my fiancé will have Max very soon, I already have mine, but
alas I digress. Using airdrop, will obviously be much faster than using
dropbox.
Warm regards,
