Transfer Files Using Bluetooth
The easiest method is always going to be the one that works with what you already have. If your Windows PC and Android device have Bluetooth, that’s all you need to wirelessly transfer files.
First, you need to pair your Windows PC with your Android device. This will only need to be done once. Open the Windows Settings and go to Devices > Bluetooth & Other Devices. Ensure that Bluetooth is on and that the PC is discoverable.
Next, grab your Android device and open the Settings app. Go to the “Connected Devices” or “Bluetooth” section and tap “Pair New Device.”
Find your PC on the list and select it to pair the two devices.
You’ll see a prompt on each device asking to confirm that a code is the same. If the code matches on each device, accept it to complete pairing.
- With the devices paired, we can use Bluetooth file transfer. The process is a bit cumbersome, but it works without any additional software on either device.
- Back on your Windows PC, open the “Bluetooth & Other Devices” settings menu again. This time, click “Send or Recieve Files via Bluetooth” in the Related Settings sidebar.
A new window will open. Select “Send Files.”
Next, you’ll see a list of Bluetooth devices that have been connected to your PC. Select your Android device from the list and click “Next.”
Choose “Browse” on the next screen to open the file manager and find the file that you would like to send.
