Apple introduced AirDrop WiFi ad-hoc service in Mac OS X Lion 10.7 that allows users to exchange files between Macs without the need of a Wi-Fi network or any configuration. While the feature is fairly simple to use via the OS X Finder, folks over at OSX Daily have pointed out that using AirDrop is now easier than ever with OS X Mountain Lion where users can transfer files through AirDrop straight from a Quick Look window.
See how quick ‘n easy it is to AirDrop any file in OS X Mountain lion:
Locate any file in the Finder of OS X Mountain Lion and hit the Spacebar to summon Quick Look
Click the Sharesheet icon in the upper right corner [>] and select “AirDrop” from the menu
Have the recipient open AirDrop to be visible as the file destination
Click “Send” to transfer the file
Similarly, you can quickly iMessage or even Email a file on your Mac computer right from your Quick Look window in OS X Mountain Lion.
