Activate AirDrop on Macs that "don't support it"

NewImage

We talked a while ago that AirDrop was not available on all Macs And now we are going to see the trick that can make AirDrop work on one of these Macs that we listed at the time.

To do this you have to open the Terminal app and put the following command:

defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser BrowseAllInterfaces 1

There is something to clarify: You have to perform this trick on both the Mac that receives and the one that sends things, and it does not matter that one of them works correctly with AirDrop, since in Mac OS X Hints they point out that they believe that if it is not done in both it does not work.

I have not been able to test it because my Mac works well with AirDrop, but you have the comments to give suggestions on the use.
