To share files between Mac users we can easily take advantage of AirDrop features. This feature is similar to the Ad-Hoc WiFi feature which is often found on Windows computers. Unfortunately, to activate AirDrop, you need a new Mac models that already have special hardware which supported to make a point to point WiFi connection.
defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser BrowseAllInterfaces 1
Special note:
- Type the command above on both macs (sender & receiver), even if one of them already has the correct WiFi hardware (I think).
- Macs which use AirDrop must be connected to the same network somehow (ethernet, existing WiFi network, etc.)
- To disable the AirDrop in your old Macs, just change the number 1 in the above command to 0.
That's all a cool trick to activate AirDrop in our old Macs. Hope it useful. Source: hints.macworld.com
