Windows 10: Enable Win 10 to receive bluetooth files without confirmation?

Win 7 allowed this, but I can't figure out how in Win 10. I want Win 10 to "trust" my Galaxy S5 and automatically receive and save files sent by the phone. I send multiple files, usually photos, and having to go through all the manual steps for each picture is not working for me. I have Googled this and searched forums to no avail. Anyone know how to do this?

thanks,

set bluetooth to auto accept file transfer

just up graded to windows 10, Bluetooth settings does not have the share properties like win 7 and 8.

is ther a way to set win 10 to accept and send files automatically without having to click send or receive on each file?

 

How to solve my bluetooth problem?

I would see Lenovo or reinstall the bluetooth drivers. For the PC bluetooth to receive and send it has to have that selection enabled.

I have a Win 8 laptop with broadcom bluetooth. When I right click the BT icon I get

Add a BT device

Show BT devices

send a file

Receive a file

join a personal area network

open settings

remove icon

 

Hello and welcome to the forum *Smile

Have you enabled "Allow remote devices to browse, send and receive pictures, music and other files" in your Windows Bluetooth settings?

 

Thanks for the welcome!

On my Bluetooth Settings dialogue, I only have tabs for Options, COM Ports, and Hardware. The "Share" tab is where that setting is and I don't have the "Share" tab. Any idea how to get it?

Thanks!

 

The following was for a win8 system but the solution should be the same for Win10

I'm in the exact same situation.

The proposed solutions do not work. (1) The Bluetooth Support Service is set to start up automatically and is running. (2) The drivers are up to date.

Bluetooth is working fine. If I click the tray icon, and then "Receive a file", I can get a file from my phone. This is extremely inefficient and annoying when in need to transfer several files.

 

Thanks for the response, but that doesn't work for me. Same situation as jerdi13 above. The only way to receive files is to do each one manually. There "should" be a Share tab on the BT Settings dialogue. There isn't one for me, so could there be some "sharing" setting that is keeping it from showing up???

Here is a link to solving this problem, but requires access to the "Share" tab.

What is needed. How do I get the "Share" tab?




What I have.

 

And you have confirmed the Bluetooth support service in Windows is set as automatic startup and is currently running?

 

Yes, service is running and auto start.
I'm traveling now. Will pick back up on thursday. Thx for your help.

 

Stop looking on the forum when you should be socializing with those with whom you are travelling! *Biggrin

 

I'm back. Five days in Memphis, took three days to recoup!

Recap: I don't have the "share" tab in Bluetooth settings. BT Service is set to automatic and is running. Any ideas on how to get the "share" tab to show up so I can get to the settings in there? I want my PC to accept files from my Galaxy S5 automatically without me having to approve each one. PC is a Dell 8500.

thanks!

 

Bump...

Recap: Trying to get my Win 10 PC to accept BT files from my phone automatically without having to authorize every file individually. Was told to change a setting in the Share tab on the BT Settings dialogue, but the Share tab does not show up. How do I get that Share tab to show?

thanks

 

I don't have the share tab, but never found it necessary. I can transfer multiple files at once via Bluetooth from my Nexus 7 using ES File Explorer (free on Google play) to select multiple files for transfer to my Windows 10 machine using the "Receive a File" without having to confirm each file individually.

Hope this helps.
