Today, wireless networks play an important role in transferring files between devices. Although it can be said that Wi-Fi andBluetoothBluetoothBluetooth is the most widely used device today, but we have different options available. If we talk about operating systems and device types, the most dominant mobile devices are those that use this technology, although computers are also widely used. In this article, we will focus on the latter. We'll explain how toWindowsEasily send and receive files via Bluetooth.
Bluetooth, a widely used technology
When we talk about Bluetooth, we don't mean a new technology, let alone one. He has been with us for many years, although it should be said that he has been refined over time. Today, we can send heavier files in less time. We can also connect many devices that were previously made more complicated by their limitations.
The rise of IoT devices has also seen the technology pay off in many ways. We have smart watches and bracelets connected via Bluetooth, headphones, and many other devices. Compatibility with modern mobile phones is extensive.
Sometimes, we might just find a way to send files from computer to phone via Bluetooth. Fortunately, we can do this, and it's very easy. We'll explain what you need to do to get everything ready in a Windows situation.
How to set up Bluetooth in Windows
we already knowWindows 10It is the most widely used operating system on desktop computers today. This means that many users can benefit from the Bluetooth functionality we mentioned. We'll explain step by step how to send and receive files via Bluetooth.
Send files via Bluetooth on Windows
The first thing to do to send files over Bluetooth in Windows is to go into Settings, enter Devices and then in Bluetoothactivationit. He will also indicate the names that have been assigned.
We also have to link other devices, such as mobile devices. Once this is done we simply go to the Windows taskbar (bottom right) and click on the second button in Bluetooth. There we will send the file. We will see the linked devices.
After completing this step, we only need to select the files we want to send. It's a simple and intuitive process. After selecting the file, we send it to the other device and a notification appears on the other device to accept it and start processing.
Receive files via Bluetooth on Windows
The process for receiving files is very similar. In this case we click on the Bluetooth icon with the second button, but on Receive File. Now we will send it via Bluetooth from another device, select our device and the process will begin. It will automatically appear in the window we open.
The file will go to the Documents folder in Windows. We can go there and view all files passed over Bluetooth in Windows. We can do the same with other compatible devices we have.
In short, by following these simple steps we have mentioned, we can send or receive files via Bluetooth in Windows. An easy way to exchange data and small files with other devices paired with us. For example, it's useful to quickly deliver text files to make them available on mobile devices (and vice versa).
As we can see, in this case we can transfer files wirelessly both via cable and via Bluetooth. This is an interesting option and one that more and more users are using. In recent years, technology has improved significantly on these issues. Being able to exchange documents between devices is easy and fast, something that was only necessary a few years ago and was much more limited.
