Bluetooth Files to your phone

If you don't have the ability to connect your phone to your computer via USB for whatever reason, sending files via bluetooth is another option to transfer your files from your computer to your phone without needing a USB cable. Bluetooth technology is quick, convenient, sleek and sexy. Read this article to find out how to transfer files from your computer to your phone via bluetooth technology...

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • phone that accepts bluetooth
  • computer that can send bluetooth
  1. Step 1

    Be sure that you have blue tooth capabilities on both your phone and your computer. Do not assume that both devices have bluetooth capability, because they may not. Be sure that both bluetooths are are discoverable to each other so that you can attempt a connection.

  2. Step 2

    Turn on the bluetooth on both devices and wait a few moments for them to activate. On a Mac computer, you can go to "finder", and click on "utilities" and then "blue tooth file exchange".

  3. Step 3

    Clicking on the bluetooth file exchange will activate the blue tooth technology. You will be prompted on how to choose the file you wish to send. Follow the prompts to send your file.

  4. Step 4

    Depending on the type of phone you have, you may need to accept the file in order for your phone to receive it. Save the file to the location of choice. It may be possible that you don't have complete bluetooth capabilities, in which case you may need to purchase bluetooth accessories as an add on to enable either your phone or your computer to transfer bluetooth files.

Tips & Warnings
  • Different computers will have different locations for your blue tooth software. You may want to search your computer to find the blue tooth software before getting started, so that your transfer will go smoothly.
