Hi everyone,

Is there a possibility to set a configuration on Macs that allows AirDrop transfers, but only to other macOS (or iOS) devices, and not to others?

Thanks!

    @JureJerebic There is no current restriction like this, and it's one that Apple would have to implement in their MDM protocol before Jamf could ad support for it. It would definitely be a welcome feature though, so I'd suggest providing feedback to Apple requesting it.

        This restriction does not exist currently, and Apple would need to implement it in their MDM protocol before Jamf could add support for it. However, it would be a welcome addition, so I would suggest requesting it from Apple via feedback. gorilla tag

        You can limit AirDrop on a Mac to only allow transfers from Contacts Only in Finder's AirDrop settings. This ensures interactions remain within Apple devices linked to your contacts, enhancing privacy while maintaining functionality.
