In case you've never heard of it, AirDrop is a wireless technology from Apple that allows you to transfer feles from one device to another using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth networks. Using it is really a breeze: just call open the fele to be shared in iOS (in this case a video in the Photos app), call up the menu of sharing (the up arrow icon) and select the name of the Mac from the menu that opens. For everything to work properly, Mac and iPhone must be close to and connected to the same wireless network. To learn more, read my tutorial on how AirDrop works.
- Droplr - if you want to use an AirDrop-like system on a Windows PC or Mac model that is not compatible with the aforementioned technology, try Droplr. This is a free application that allows you to share any type of fele wirelessly between Windows, iOS and Mac. The only requirement for everything to work is authentication with the same account. The free version of the service allows you to upload a maximum of 10 feles per month for a total of 1GB of storage. To remove these limits, you need to take out a paid subscription (10 $ / month).
