Am I missing something? I thought Yosemite was supposed to enable iDevice to Mac sharing via AirDrop... I have AirDrop open in finder and set to everyone on my iPad. What am I doing wrong because neither will register the other device.
Got a tip for us?

AirDrop via Mac and iPad?

Just did back & forth between iPhone 5S and Mac Mini 2012. Working great.
Did pics both ways. An 800 page pdf to the phone was 2 seconds, but it was only 3.2m. Using the share icon on the mac didn't work, but drag and drop in the airdrop window did. Guessing 8.1 might solve the issue.
