You do not need wizard transfer, just pair your device with your notebook and after that openexplorer in which you will see icon representing your device (phone or tablet). By clicking on this icon you will be able to browse whole content of device (photos for example), then you can copy it to your notebook ..
I went into the "Send or receive files via Bluetooth" menuand selected "Receive Files", but the system returned the message"... File transfer is disabled by policy.Please check with your system administrator. ..."
@Solu Hey,
to my understanding of how we block file transfer with Bluetooth is to do not allow the file transfer service in the Device Control policy that are related to allow the file transfer. So I think I would add all Bluetooth services to the "Bluetooth allowed services" list except those which would allow the file transfer.
Thank you, we are already using this service allowed method of approach only. However, we have challenge that, for specific Bluetooth models like Sony wireless headset model WH-1000XM5, WH-XB910N, etc while doing so the Voice (Mic) service alone is getting blocked. we have already added all the class service UUIDs in that Service Allowed list except File transfer but Voice (Mic) alone is not working for certain models.
I would like a setting from Windows Active Directory to have block bluetooth but only connect bluetooth headphones which only transmits audio but no data or file sharing.
It is Possible or not...?
If it possible then please guide me...!
I read many many posts to solve this issue but I didn't succeed till now! Any help is highly appreciated!I have an android application running on a Smartphone which allows the user to shoot pictures and add some exif tags to the resulting jpg.These pictures are all saved in the same folder.
As soon as the Smartphone can connect via bluetooth to a PC (windows XP embedded) the application should send them to the PC. The best solution to send the pictures is to use the Android support application for file transfer using OBEX protocol (it can be called via Intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND) ).
My problem is to automatically receive the files I'm sending from the Smartphone.
Now I can perform this by always put the PC in "receive file" mode from the bluetooth icon menu on the taskbar (right click -> Receive file) and then confirm where to save the file. But I have to do everything by hand.
The alternative I can figure out is to implement an application also on the PC and implement my own protocol with raw data exchange on a serial port over bluetooth. (but of course this would be a bad workaround!!!)
It simplifies inter-device file transfer between apps: connection is made through a sever by matching codewords. The RESTful API is very simple and you could easily modify the web-app to start download as soon as the file arrives.
Instead of sifting through your email or cloud storage app, you can use a USB cable, Link to Windows, or Bluetooth to quickly send files from your Galaxy phone to your Windows 10 or 11 PC. A USB cable will let you easily drag and drop files between your phone and PC. Link to Windows will automatically sync your recent images from your phone and display them on your computer for easy access. Plus, Bluetooth will let you transfer data from your paired devices.
You can drag and drop up to 100 files at a time, of any type. However, moving entire folders is not supported, and no single file can be larger than 512MB. The size of content will be adjusted to 1MB if "metered data" is used. For text files, the size will be limited to 128KB or less, and images will be resized to 1MB or less. You can also transfer content using Smart Switch or DeX for PC.
I just spent 40 minutes trying to transfer a few images from my iPhone 8-Plus to Window 10. I ended-up using a direct connect USB to Lightning connector. Bluetooth wouldn't work. Airdrop wouldn't work. Will someone please explain to me why I pay a premium price for a Apple product, over $900, and it can't so much as transfer files to my PC through bluetooth! Bluetooth is a common widely used industry standard way of transferring a data file. Please revise iOS to permit data file transfer through bluetooth.
Yeah, I've read this iTunes syncs, and using iCloud for Windows: No. I don't want to have to jump though hoops. File transfer directly from my iPhone to my PC that's what I want via Bluetooth or Airdrop.
As I transition to the Mac, I often find myself needing to transfer a file back and forth quickly. I could create SMB shares on both systems, but this requires both to be connected to a wired or wireless Ethernet LAN. Luckily, both Vista and OS X offer functional Bluetooth sharing technology for quick, easy file transfer on the fly.
I have succesfully applied a GP for disabling mass storage devices and found a way to manage exceptions. However, I found out that users still can transfer files via bluetooth. All my search efforts failed.
The best way I have found so far is by disabling exact devices in device manager. This solution requires me to have all possible bluetooth devices on the computer/server from where I am editing that GPO.
Most resources in the TechNet are for managing Windows Mobile devices but not for bluetooth regarding desktops and laptops (vista, 7, 8 etc.) Most registry keys are missing and are not relevant to my case :(
I can pair my HTC One X with Ubuntu, but I can't send any files to my computer from my phone. Every time I try my phone reports the transfer failed and I never get prompted by the computer to accept the file.
I would like to share one method on how to send files from any Android smartphone to Ubuntu. I successfully tested it myself on Ubuntu 12.10 laptop with built-in bluetooth adapter and SGS4 smartphone.
Transferring files between your Android device and your computer does not need to be a tedious or difficult task.
This article will guide you through the 3 best ways for wireless file transfer between your Android phone and your PC, without needing to use a USB cable.
As with other file types in Droid Transfer, you can transfer photos from your PC to your Android too. To do this, simply click "Add Photos to Phone" and choose the photos from your PC that you want on your phone.
Another great way of transferring files between Android device and your computer is using a cloud service. Cloud Services such as Dropbox and Google Drive allow you to upload files from your computer, or phone, and then allow you to access those files from any of your devices.
Bear in mind that your data will be stored externally, so it's not as secure as a simple file transfer between phone and PC. This option is perfect if you plan on syncing files between your devices. The steps below are the general steps used to set up most popular cloud solutions, and transfer your files:
Cloud solutions are a fantastic method to use to automatically share files, photos, videos and even music between Android and PC. However, for transferring other file types like Messages and Call Logs you'll need to use Droid Transfer.
The last method I'll mention is Bluetooth. "What is Bluetooth?", you may ask, and rightly so - the once popular Bluetooth has now taken a backseat to make way for more accessible WiFi. However, there is still a place for Bluetooth for file transfer, as you can use it if you have no WiFi. Bear in mind that not all devices will have Bluetooth available, especially some computers/laptops.
Depending on your PC settings, you might need to allow the transfer of files from your phone. You can find this option by clicking "Send or receive files via Bluetooth" within your PC's Bluetooth settings.
OK, here's some extra information for you hungry readers. If you want to transfer files from your PC to Android, you can use Droid Transfer as seen in Method 1. The tool allows you to transfer files from PC to Android using Wi-Fi or USB and vice versa.
? I notice just once or twice -from tens of times- notification appear in 6a ask to accept the transfer from Windows, but it didn't show again, i doubt something blocked this type of notifications.
Sadly, some people cannot get the Mac to accept a file sent to it from any Android tablet by using Bluetooth. You might have more success, but keep in mind that the USB file transfer, coupled with the Android File Transfer program, works like a charm.
Bluetooth File Transfer for the PC is a file transfer utility and client which makes it extremely easy to share files between devices with a better laid out user interface than Windows' built-in file transfer program.The included file and folder manager gives you the ability to browse your computer or remote device. It comes with full support for Android and Apple devices and basically any type of device with bluetooth capabilities.From within the Bluetooth File Transfer explorer itself, you're able to upload and download files, perform file management operations such as deleting, renaming, copy paste files and more. Bluetooth File Transfer can also playback multimedia files, open text files and browse images.Although the program might be a little bit slow finding devices, that isn't really a fault of the program but more of bluetooth protocols. This software certainly makes it a less daunting task of dealing with Bluetooth devices and file management.Features of Bluetooth File Transfer (PC)
