My new MBA M2 is not showing up in the Finder on iMac - both connected to the same wifi.
The iMac shows the iPhone and iPad.
The MBA shows the iMac, but not the iPhone or the iPad..... all on same network (I only have one :) )

Does anyone have any ideas what might be happening? I'd really like to drag and drop files from the MBA using the iMac......
 
Verify if your MBA have File Sharing enabled on Settings -> General -> Sharing

Your device won't show up on networks by default, you have to manually enable it.

Oh My Goodness, that worked a treat! Thank you very much!
It doesn't show up on its own in the sidebar, but found it under Network. Just dropped one folder over, worked great.

I've been using Macs since the 80's but am now finding basic settings getting splintered all over the place!

Thank you once again, really appreciated.
