I can't find my airdrop documents on my macbook. I can send it and I hear the sound,

but then there is not pop up window to accept or any files in my downloads folder.

I actually found the solution here: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/View-download-and-export/How-to-stop-Airdrop-transfers-ending-up-in-Dropbox-downloads-by/m-p/682915#M45537


I did these steps and it worked for me:


1.Click the Dropbox icon in the menu bar (Mac).

2.Click the Sync and Backups tab.

3.Click Mac.

4.Click Change folders.

5.Uncheck the box next to the Downloads folder.

6.Click Save.

7.Restart your computer.
