My iMAC can SEND but NOT receive AIRDROP files.

İt was working perfectly like two weeks ago. For years I have used it frequently. Nothing has changed. Why all of a sudden.

iMac Pro, macOS 14.6

My mac wont accept or send airdrops I have been trying to airdrop things to my Mac and it will continuously say it failed. when I try to send things using my Mac it doesn't go through. I have tried to turn it on and off (Macbook and airdrop) and it still doesn't change anything. I don't remember when it started but I would like it fixed. Does anyone have any ideas on how i can get my airdrop to work?

Airdrop stopped working on Mac I have a macbook pro retina early 2015. Always worked perfectly. I recently updated the OS to Monterey. After that, airdrop works only while sending. But not receiving. The only way to make it work (for example sending a picture from iphone to mac) is restarting it: this will make aidrop work for a few minutes. After that, it will not receive again. I have seen that a lot of people got this problem and none of them found a solution. Reset NVRAM, reset network settings, delete bluetooth folders with logs etc.... none of them has worked. Is there a solution? or this is one of Apple methods to make me buy a new mac?
