where are bluetooth files????

Hi  Pritska,

I understand how frustrating it could be when things do not work as expected. Please do not worry I will try my best to resolve it.

I would suggest you to search for the Bluetooth transferred file by using the file name.

How to search

Hope this information is helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

That has to be most USELESS and UNHELPFUL answer I've ever received on any forum!

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.

Right click on the Bluetooth Icon on the Taskbar.

Click on "Receive a file"

Send the file from the your phone.

After completion, set the destination of the file.
