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.
where are bluetooth files????
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

2015-11-14T04:08:03+00:00 Bit late in the day but may help someone as I had this same issue on Windows 8. Seemingly there is no default folder for all Bluetooth downloads like there was in previous versions. What's more, I have found that the generic Windows 8 Bluetooth driver can act differently when a set of Bluetooth transfers have completed, for some bizarre reason.
i) Sometimes is offers the chance to save the files to a location of your choice once the files complete: In this case, it defaults to the profile's Documents path but can be changed. So do check in the Documents folder in the first instance if you didn't specify a location yourself.
ii) If you are *not* offered a "Save as..." prompt when the transfer completes: The downloads are usually within a temporary subfolder inside **C:\Users*<profile>\AppData\Local\Temp*. So either search this folder for recent files, or order the subfolders by date descending and hopefully you'll find the one containing your photos.
I wouldn't be surprised if other Bluetooth drivers do different things, but these points above are worth a try. Either way, I don't really see why they couldn't just add a customisable path to the settings and remove any confusion in the first place.

In my case the AppData folder was not displayed from my C:\Users*<profile name>folder.* If this is the case, type AppData manually into the file explorer address bar and then select local and temp from there.
I found my uploaded pictures in folder: C:\Users*<profile name>*\AppData\Local\Temp\FSQ_00363.31
