AirDrop didn’t work properly is also one of the problems in macOS Monterey. For example, the AirDrop menu doesn’t showing any nearby devices even when we turn on the nearby device. There are two solutions to overcome this problem. The first thing we can do is open AirDrop in the menu, click ‘Allow me to be discovered by’, and choose ‘Everyone’. The second thing we can do is ‘Block all incoming connections’, so if you have activated firewall on your Mac, that might be blocking the connections which making the AirDrop didn’t work properly.
