[SOLVED] Bluetooth Transfer directory location
Thanks to JeremyB, I have my bluetooth working. Unfortunately, the transferred file(s) don't go to the Incoming Folder that I've set.
Transferred files end up in /home/jerry/.cache/obexd
I'm at a loss.

Re: Bluetooth Transfer directory location
What if you create a new folder in /home just called Bluetooth and set it to send files there?
Linux does have some issues with spaces in location names

Hi Jeremy,
Thanks so much for your reply. I just tried three different, one-word folders and still the same result.

Re: Bluetooth Transfer directory location
Let's do it the Ubuntu way
Once that is done
See if that is set to accept files over bluetooth to Downloads, then you might be able to change the location in Blueman
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gnome-user-share
Code: Select all
gnome-file-share-properties
Re: Bluetooth Transfer directory location
Hi Jeremy,
I ran the first code, which told me that gnome-user-share was already installed.
When I ran
and this message in Terminal:
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
Thanks.

Re: Bluetooth Transfer directory location
Click the box next to receive files in Download folders over bluetooth then click the close button. It should work even with the warning
Re: Bluetooth Transfer directory location
I'm on the Windows side of my dual boot. I'll do that as soon as my Windows 10 updating. It gets worse by the month. Bigger updates that take forever.

Nope, still the same.JeremyB wrote:Click the box next to receive files in Download folders over bluetooth then click the close button. It should work even with the warning
P.S. I got Windows Creator Update---took almost 3 hours (ten minutes shy).
Re: Bluetooth Transfer directory location
Set Blueman to store in the Downloads folder also and see if it works
Re: Bluetooth Transfer directory location
That did it! You're a genius!!!
Thanks so much Jeremy.
Thanks so much Jeremy.
Re: [SOLVED] Bluetooth Transfer directory location
Hello!
I'm having a similar problem. Either files I'm sending to my Mint computer aren't arriving, or they're going somewhere I can't find.
I installed gnome-user-share.
Then tried the command line:
gnome-file-share-properties
and am getting "command not found"
Tried again after first using:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gnome-user-share
And after the authentication prompt, again got "command not found"
Goal is to get files into my computer via Bluetooth, and to know where they're put when they arrive.
Grateful for any help.
