Today’s Quick Tip….
Quickly share files with other nearby Apple devices via AirDrop
Do you often share files between Apple devices with a USB flash drive?
How about sending them via email, SMS text messaging or an instant messaging service?
Well, here’s a little tip for you…
Apple devices have a handy feature called AirDrop that uses Bluetooth to establish a peer-to-peer WiFi network between iPhones, iPads, iPod Touches and Macs.
As long as both devices are within Bluetooth range of one another and have both Bluetooth and WiFi enabled you can quickly and easily share most any type of file on one Apple device with another Apple device without having to use email or any other means of communication.
What’s more, you won’t even need a cellular data signal or an Internet connection.
You’ll find instructions for using AirDrop on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch right here.
