    AirDrop is 40kb file + all associated 100 kb, so total 150 kb ! a drop in a bucket for your disk.

I did some looking around and came up with that the removing the AirDrop will give you only 150kb of space.

So I am not sure it is wort messing around with it, since I do not know what dependencies are there, and the disk space gain is not worth mentioning it.

You can look it up in your

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ShareKit.framework/Versions/A/PlugIns/AirDrop.sharingservice/Contents/MacOS

  • AFAIK once disabled on your computer it can be only turned on, on your computer, so it is safe from outsiders using it.
