In the era of the Internet and mobile gadgets, the only thing we love more than seeing all kinds of content is to share it with our friends and family. Many of us probably remember the times when people transferred each other their favorite music and pictures via Bluetooth (someone remembers the infrared port). Now there are instant messengers, clouds, mail in the end, it would seem that there is no place left for Bluetooth. Whatever the case, this method of data transfer is still in use, although it has undergone some changes. Even Apple evangelists, living for a long time without such an opportunity, eventually got it.
AirDrop - what is it?
AirDrop is a technology designed to transmit data over Wi-Fi and using Bluetooth. This tool was developed by Apple and was presented in the summer of 2013.
