# AirDrop Shield: know when strangers can see your Mac

> AirDrop Shield shows whether your Mac is visible over AirDrop to everyone, your contacts, or no one, and nudges you when it’s visible to everyone on a network you don’t trust.

**Onde no FireAI:** World map › AirDrop

No more unsolicited files or your Mac’s name on display in a crowded place.

AirDrop “Everyone” is handy for a minute and easy to forget. Left on in a train, café or conference, it shows your Mac’s name to everyone nearby and lets strangers send you files and pictures. AirDrop Shield keeps that setting in sight.

## What you see

- Off or Contacts Only: a green AirDrop button. Nothing to do.
- Everyone, on a network you trust: still green, since that’s your choice at home.
- Everyone, on an open or weakly secured network: the button turns orange and suggests turning it down.

## Change it

1. Click AirDrop at the top of the World map.
2. Click “Open AirDrop settings…”. System Settings opens on the AirDrop & Handoff page.
3. Set AirDrop to Contacts Only or No One.

> **Note:** FireAI reads this setting but never changes it for you. Your Mac, your choice. If a future macOS stores it differently, FireAI shows “Unknown” rather than guessing.

AirDrop Shield uses the same network check as [Coffee Shop Armor](https://hisnlabs.com/fireai/en/docs/coffee-shop-armor), so it knows when you’re on a network worth being careful on.
