Bluetooth Does not accept files from android #12

Open bksubhuti opened 4 years ago

bksubhuti commented 4 years ago

Describe the bug

I could not send a file from my phone to the computer. To try to get things better, I installed blueman and I get a message that a file was sent but there is no way to accept. If I close the message that comes, the file is "rejected" from my phone immediately.

All updates done as of Jan 15, 2020 asia time. eOS 5.1

Expected behavior

I expect an accept dialog box or something.

Screenshots or screen recordings

There is currently a work around for this, but for a userfriendly os like elementary OS it is not pretty:

  1. install blueman sudo apt install blueman
  2. run blueman-services blueman-services
  3. pick 'transfers'
  4. and tick 'receive files'

and you will now receive files from paired (trusted) devices in your Downloads folder... Perhaps this option ought to be enabled by elementary OS by default. Since the device would need to be paired first by the user anyhow, there is little point in having to futher fiddle with permissions etc.
