    Windows/Linux/Android devices can also send/receive files over bluetooth with any device that isn’t running iOS (because Apple explicitly disables that part of the bluetooth spec on their devices)

    On Windows, it’s under bluetooth and device settings and on Android you can select share > bluetooth. Where it is on Linux varies

      for Windows and Linux, pair the Linux machine from Windows, or Windows will pair it as an audio device and you won’t be able to share files.

      I’ve always had mixed luck with Bluetooth file sharing on Windows. Sometimes it works perfectly, other times it just doesn’t seem to work at all. Even with the same exact devices.
