AirDrop គឺជាលក្ខណៈពិសេសថ្មីមួយរបស់ Mac OS X Lion 10.7 ដែលអាចឱ្យយើងផ្ទេរ ឬបញ្ជូនឯកសារពីកុំព្យូទ័រ Mac មួយទៅមួយបានយ៉ាងងាយស្រួល និងស្វែងរកម៉ាស៊ីនព្រីនតាម Local Network បានទៀតផង។ កាន់តែពិសេសជាងនេះទៅទៀតនោះគឺយើងមិនចាំបាច់វាយលេខបណ្តាញ (Network) ចូលឡើយមានន័យថាប្រើប្រាស់វាស្រដៀងគ្នាទៅនឹងការប្រើប្រាស់ Bluetooth អញ្ចឹងដែរហើយអាចប្រើបានក្នុងរង្វង់ចំងាយ 30 ហ្វីត (ប្រហែលជិតដប់ម៉ែត្រ)។
តំរូវការចាំបាច់ក្នុងការប្រើប្រាស់វា
ប្រសិនបើលោកអ្នកទើបតែចាប់ផ្តើមប្រើប្រាស់វានោះប្រហែលជាលោកអ្នកមិនអាចមើលឃើញសញ្ញា AirDrop នៅក្នុង Finder នៅឡើយទេ។ ដូច្នេះលោកអ្នកត្រូវតែបើក Finder សិនបន្ទាប់មកចុចត្រង់ Hide ដើម្បីបង្ហាញអំពីកន្លែងផ្ទុកឯកសាររបស់កុំព្យូទ័រ ក៏ដូចជា AirDrop ផងដែរ។
តំរូវការចាំបាច់នោះគឺកុំព្យូទ័រ Mac របស់លោកអ្នកត្រូវផលិតយ៉ាងហោចណាស់នៅចុងឆ្នាំ 2008 ដែរ បើមិនដូច្នោះទេនឹងមិនអាចប្រើមុខងារនេះបានឡើយ។
បន្ទាប់មកទៀតលោកអ្នកត្រូវបើក AirDrop នៅក្នុងកុំព្យូទ័រទាំងពីរដែលលោកអ្នកចង់ផ្ទេរ ឬបញ្ជូនឯកសារចេញចូល។ ពេលនោះលោកអ្នកនឹងឃើញរូបភាពកុំព្យូទ័រនៅក្នុងរ៉ាដាររបស់វា (សូមមើលរូបភាពខាងក្រោម) បន្ទាប់មកលោកអ្នកគ្រាន់តែទាញឯកសារណាមួយទៅដាក់ពីលើរូបកុំព្យូទ័រហើយចុច Send ទៅរួចជាស្រេច៖
នៅពេលទទួលលោកអ្នកគ្រាន់តែ Save ឬ Save and Open ឬ Decline ក៏បាន៖

AirDrop, new to OS X 10.7 Lion, builds on the success of Bonjour, Apple’s zero-config networking tool that’s used for everything from finding printers to chatting across a local network. Although built along similar lines, AirDrop is more focused, having only one function: it wirelessly shares files between compatible Macs with no configuration or set-up required by the user.
With AirDrop, you can send files to anyone around you wirelessly — no Wi-Fi network required. And no complicated setup or special settings. Just click the AirDrop icon in the Finder sidebar, and your Mac automatically discovers other AirDrop users within about 30 feet of you. To share a file, simply drag it to someone’s name. Once accepted, the fully encrypted file transfers directly to that person’s Downloads folder.
System requirements
If you’re running Lion on a recent Mac, you already have everything you need to use AirDrop. The earliest compatible Macs are the MacBook and MacBook Pros from late 2008. You don’t need to be in range of a wireless network or connected to the Internet. As long as you’re close to another Lion-equipped Mac, you can exchange files without a password in three steps:
- Open a new Finder window on both Macs and click AirDrop in the sidebar of each. After a short delay, during which the Macs scan the available Wi-Fi channels, a list of compatible machines appears in the main body of the window.
- Drag the file to be sent into the AirDrop window on the first Mac and release it on the icon representing the second Mac. You’ll be asked to confirm that you want to send the file.
- As soon as the originator confirms the send operation, the second Mac will ask its owner to save, or save and open the file, or decline the transfer. Clicking either ‘save’ or ‘save and open’ copies the file to the downloads folder.
AirDrop security
AirDrop doesn’t need passwords and can’t be switched off, but it does have a number of built-in security features. Chief among these is the fact that nobody can send a file to your Mac unless you accept the transfer. Likewise, it’s a one-way operation, so no-one can use AirDrop to grab a file from your hard drive.
More importantly, if you don’t have AirDrop selected in the Finder sidebar, your Mac won’t appear in anyone else’s AirDrop scan. If you want to avoid clicking AirDrop by accident, remove it from the sidebar either by holding Command while dragging it away, or going to Finder/Preferences/Sidebar and unchecking the AirDrop entry.
