Oh wow, really?!

I moved to the Google Pixel phones 2 years ago, and can use NearDrop between my Mac and phone, and it works 100% smooth and fast.
I’ve never had a fail with AirDrop, but I’m the kind of person to evaluate my network performance when I obtain a new wireless device and deconflict frequencies when needed. :) I don’t know if that’s REQUIRED, but doesn’t seem to hurt!
