Bluetooth File Transfer (PC)

Bluetooth File Transfer (PC) is a handy file transfer management application that can establish a quick and reliable connection between your PC and any OBEX ready device that supports File Transfer Profile (FTP).

Thankfully, since OBEX FTP standard has been adopted into Bluetooth stack since its early 2.1 version, this ensures seamless compatibility with a wide array of modern devices that are certified for Bluetooth use – any modern Android and iOS smartphone, PC laptops and more.

Built from the ground up to be streamlined and easy for use, Medieval Bluetooth OBEX File Transfer can help anyone to quickly upload and download fields between devices, browse, create and delete files, and manage folders with incredible ease.

And all of that is achieved wirelessly via Bluetooth communication with a portable device, saving you from the need to constantly bring you USB cables for establishing the physical connection with a target device.

To take full advantage of this app, all you need to have is Bluetooth-certified dongle or built-in emitter that can connect to modern Bluetooth devices around you.

However, be aware that developers of this app have noted that the Bluetooth File Transfer app has issues working with Bluetooth emitters who are powered with drivers made by Broadcomm, Widcomm, Toshiba, and BlueSoleil.

Installation and Use

One of the surprising features of the Bluetooth File Transfer app for PC is its incredible size. It comes at under 1 MB in size, meaning that you can effortlessly install it even on more storage-limited PCs and laptops.  To install it, you follow the on-screen instructions until the procedure is finished.

Be aware that you will not be able to use this app without the presence of Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0 (or newer), but the app will message this to you and offer you a streamlined way to download this package.

Once installed, you can fire up the app and start exploring its simple user interface that consists of a simple file browser and just a few added tools for managing the connection to nearby devices. Bluetooth Network button will show you the list of not only nearby discoverable devices but also a log of your previously accessed devices.

File management can be done from within the app itself, but you can also drag and drop files between the app and your desktop surface or Windows Explorer windows.

During active file transfer, the app showcases a real-time progress bar with the total number of bytes that need to be transmitted, current transmitted amount, and job percentage counter. Downloads and uploads can be done when the app is in focus, or when the transfer is hidden in the background.
