How To Use Bluetooth To Share Files (Audio, Music, Video, Apps etc)

(if you get asked for a code when you use BlueTooth "0000" is the default and will work most of the time)

The same method works no matter what kind of file you are sending.

However Bluetooth is SLOW and only works over 10 meters (30feet). So you will want to:
a) use smaller files and
b) be fairly close to the other device.
