Airdrop Not Working

How do I fix the Airdrop on my MacBook Air(2017). I can send files to other devices through airdrop, but I'm unable to receive them. My Mac is up-to-date and runs macOS Catalina. Before I updated my Mac, it didn't show up on my iPhone's airdrop menu. After updating it did. But despite this, I am unable to send the files from my iPhone to my Mac. How can I resolve this?

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15

Depending on how the settings are used, and if correct, that may resolve this issue.

Several sites online suggest how the Mac and/or iDevices may share AirDrop.

These should help allow most Apple products to share content via AirDrop. For more info, see:
