How to Receive Mail Drop on iOS 10

Being able to receive full-size files at the drop of a hat is just one of the things that makes Mail Drop such a handy feature. Figuring out how to access those attachments is another story.

Each platform that you use has a little bit of a different look when going into your Mail Drop links.

To access Mail Drop with your Mac:

1. Open your Mail app and locate the email with the uploaded attachment. You will be able to recognize a Mail Drop attachment as it says “Attachment available until…” (Mail Drop attachments are only available for 30 days upon sending).
