On the old machines, Airdrop was a folder in the Finder. When you open it, what do you see?

That’s how it used to look. I remember it behaved differently in those early days. You had to do something to allow other devices to appear. Let me try to remember what.

Check if other handoff features do work. Can you copy on your phone and paste on the Mac?

Make sure all devices are on the same Wi-Fi.

Have you always owned this MacBook or did you buy it second hand?

What is the macOS version installed? Is this the first time you are trying yo use the feature?

Both devices, sender and receiver, should have both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on... Neither devices need to be connected [They do not have to be connected] to Wi-Fi to use AirDrop but it is a requirement that both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are turned on for both devices...

it's not first time, I have do that but still not working AirDrop & HandOff

Try in safe mode and see if it works.

Also, try disconnecting from all Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and see if it works then. You can also reset the Bluetooth module.

When I try in safe mode, the bluetooth just loading and can't be reading any devices
