    Unable to locate pdf transferred via bluetooth

    Hi,

    I tried to transfer 3 PDF files from PC to my Lumia 520 via Bluetooth, after 3 pdf file transfer was completed it showed TAP TO VIEW, when I clicked on this I
    could find only the last (3rd) file transferred on the PDF viewer (default PDF viewer installed on my device) 1st and 2nd files were missing.

    1. How will I find my missing PDF files?
    2. Where can I locate this files?
    3. Missing file will use my phone memory? How can I delete those files?
    4. For each file transferred via Bluetooth should I every time click on TAP VIEW ?
    5. In PDF viewer if I delete file from the recent file list will it be completed deleted from the memory or just clearing the history list?

    Kindly help me ...

    Thanks in advance.

    Ambili.

    Fault trying to share photos from phone to laptop via Bluetooth


    While waiting for replies I solved this - in Windows 10 by the following steps where -> means click/select.
    1. Start -> Settings-> Devices -> Bluetooth.
    2. At this point ensure Bluetooth is on and device you wish to make the transfer from is listed and paired.
    3. At the bottom of the same page under Related Settings -> Send or receive files via Bluetooth -> Receive files.
    4. The Waiting for connection page appears stay on this page and initiate the transfer from your device.
    5. The file is being received window appears with a progress bar when this is complete you will be asked where to save the file and Finish
    It appears these steps have to be performed for each individual file transferred therefore I've pinned the Settings window with Bluetooth selected to the task bar.
