iPhone Airdrop Not Working

I cannot Airdrop from my iPhone to my Mac.  I was told it has something to do with the Dropbox settings.  Any ideas?

    Hey LloydLenson, thanks for reaching out to our Community.

     

    Can you please let me know if you are currently using the new Dropbox for macOS update on your computer?

     

    And have you also enabled our backup feature for your desktop folders?

     

    Let me know and we'll go from there.

        Hey Lloyd!

         

        So, if you have the new Dropbox for macOS version of the app installed, your Dropbox folder would be located in ~/Library/CloudStorage instead of your user folder.

         

        And you should also be able to see whether you have the backup feature enabled for the particular computer here.
