I managed to send files from my phone via bluetooth.

BUT.... where are these files stored??? In previous windows versions there was a Bluetooth Exchange Folder, but no such obvious place in Windows 8.

Please advise.

Thanks

    This is a totally bogus, and worthless answer.  The question had to do with bluetooth files, and the mechanical answer just said how to do a search.  The search turns up nothing relevant, by the way.

    Definitely, it looks like Windows 10 isn´t helpful concerning the use of Bluetooth, and one start to suspect that they do not want us to use it. Reason? Commercial issues...the same as kind of problem when they imposed a desk with preloaded propaganda, instead of allowing the user to decide how he will manage his own desk and interests... nobody wants to pay for a system that is rather a commercial dictatorship. No wonder many people is desperately looking for free software to get rid of Microsoft pressure. This does not mean that Microsoft does not have really nice and useful things...but something is wrong with part of their team, concerning the constant search for profits rather than for customer satisfaction and freedom.

    Yep. I see it doing that now. I'm not completely sure, but i don't think that used to happen every time before. I think it just closed automatically after the transfer and i was left clueless as to where to which folder to find it in. Anyhow. Seems sorted now. Thanks.

    They way I got it to work was to right clock the bluetooth icon on my computer and clicked 'Receive a File'. A window opened up and when I sent data from my phone it showed the progress bar in that window. Then it prompted me for a save location.

    Thanks for the info. I had forgotten the save choice at end of transfer. I was trasfering a large set of files and wanted to start using the files that had transfered early in the que. Couldn't find them but this info you provided helped. I then looked in my Temp ( %temp% ) folder and found what I was after. The files being stored unit the whole que had finished. The files were in TEMP"RandomString". Just look for folder date and time to when transfer began. Thanks for the prompt :)
