One of the tools offered by macOS High Sierra for simple file transfer is AirDrop through which it will be possible to send items such as photos, videos , web pages, locations and much more wirelessly to any iPhone, iPad, iPod device touch, or Mac that is within the coverage range..

As in most operating systems, we can access certain applications in a much more agile way by establishing their access directly in the Dock and thus, with a single click, to said utility.

Today we will see how to add AirDrop to the Dock in macOS High Sierra and thus have the opportunity to access it with the reach of a single click..

Step 1

To do this, we go to the option Go / Go to the folder or use the key combination Shift + Command + G:

+ ⌘ + G ⇧ + ⌘ + G

Step 3
