    You cannot send a file via bluetooth if your device(s) do not have bluetooth capability. You might want to try USB transfer instead. (Also, your phone generally has to be on to add files to it.)

    If you are on a Chromebook, then you go to settings then press bluetooth. If you are in a regular computer it might not have it. But if you do have bluetooth, you have to go to settings and search up bluetooth.

      Tips

      • Make sure you have your mobile phone near your computer, so that the transfer completes in a shorter amount of time than it would if the device was far from your computer.
      • Passkeys are usually 0000 or 1111.
      • It can also be done the other way around (from your mobile phone to your computer).
