How to Use the Bluetooth File Exchange in Mac OS Mojave
Introduction
Since its inception, Bluetooth has been a popular way to wirelessly connect devices.
In Mac OS Mojave, Apple has introduced a new way to wirelessly connect devices using Bluetooth – the Bluetooth File Exchange.
The Bluetooth File Exchange allows you to wirelessly transfer files between your Mac and other Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as your iPhone, iPad, or another Mac.
In this article, we’ll show you how to use the Bluetooth File Exchange to wirelessly transfer files between your Mac and other Bluetooth-enabled devices.
How to Use the Bluetooth File Exchange
To use the Bluetooth File Exchange, you’ll need to have a Mac with Bluetooth enabled and be paired with the device you want to transfer files to or from.
To enable Bluetooth on your Mac, go to the Bluetooth section of the System Preferences and make sure the Bluetooth switch is turned on.
Once Bluetooth is enabled, you can pair your Mac with another Bluetooth device. To do this, go to the Bluetooth section of the System Preferences and click on the “Pair” button next to the device you want to pair with.
Once you’re paired with the device you want to transfer files to or from, open the Finder and click on the “Go” menu. From the “Go” menu, select “Connect to Server.”
In the “Connect to Server” window, enter “bluetooth://” followed by the name of the device you want to connect to in the “Server Address” field. For example, if you want to connect to an iPhone, you would enter “bluetooth://iPhone.”
Click the “Connect” button and you should see a list of the files on the device you’re connected to.
To transfer a file, simply drag and drop it from the Finder window to your desktop or another location on your Mac. To transfer a file from your Mac to the device you’re connected to, simply drag and drop it from your Mac to the Finder window.
