• Click on Sharing to open the panel.
• If Sharing is OFF, switch it to ON.
• Select Bluetooth Sharing.
• Switch Save Received Files to Downloads Folder to ON.
• If you only want to allow trusted devices to access your Downloads folder, switch Only Receive From Trusted Devices to ON.
• Click Close. Bluetooth-enabled devices will now be able to send files to your Downloads folder.
