Ensure "Treat AirDrop as unmanaged destination" is set to "Enabled"
Description

The terms "managed" and "unmanaged" refer to application classifications made through Managed Open In, a feature introduced in iOS 7. Managed Open In provides for data containerization. Institutionally-provisioned applications are designated as managed. Applications elected by the end user are designated as unmanaged. Profile: Level 1 - Institutionally-Owned Devices.
