Hello Mac friends, w/ the iPhone's and iMac's Bluetooths ON, their Airdrops can see each other, I can also copy paste to and from between them but when I drag a PDF to the iPhone Airdrop on the iMac nothing happens, it's not in the Files app nor any app; or when I use Share to send a photo to the iMac's Airdrop on the iPhone, the iMac just says 'Waiting...' and does not send.

What could be the fix? They're both on the same iCloud account, only the Bluetooh on the iPhone is ON to save battery, the iMac's Wifi is ON.

Does Airdrop need both Wifi & Bluetooth to be ON, on the iPhone? Doesn't AirDrop work using NFC coz' when I copy paste between them, even if the iPhone's Wifi and Bluetooth are OFF, it still pastes?

Thank you, have a great rest of the year.
