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

    I have Windows 8.1 and I just stumbled on it, as Windows 8 used to just sent the files to a Blue Tooth folder.  In 8.1:

    • Right click on the blue tooth icon in the task bar
    • Click on Open Settings
    • Go the the Shared Folders Tab
    • A default location is listed for where the files will go, but you can create any folder and then designate this as the location for the files.
    • Click Apply
    • Click OK

    When you blue tooth your files they will go in this folder.

    Thanks for sharing.  That was easy!  

    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
