I can't find a way to easily airdrop an image of my Illustrator work to my iPhone... is there one?  If not, please add this feature (similar to Photoshop's Quick Share to Airdrop in the current Beta).

 

Thanks.

@ojak hang on a second, so you want to 'airdrop an image of my Illustrator work to my iPhone' not a vector file?! 

Export as an image format, go to File > Export > Export As. Choose a common image format like PNG (for transparency) or JPEG (for general images) from "Format" (Mac) dropdown. Select your desired resolution and other settings in the export dialog. For a quick preview on iPhone, a moderate resolution is usually sufficient. Click Export.

 

Locate the exported image file on your Mac. Right-click (or Control-click) on the exported image file. Select Share > AirDrop. Your iPhone (if AirDrop is enabled and discoverable) should appear as a recipient. Click on your iPhone's icon to send the image.

 

This process adds a couple of extra steps compared to a direct "share" button, but it effectively achieves the goal of getting your Illustrator work onto your iPhone via AirDrop.
