How to send files over Bluetooth to Windows 10 PC? Hello, I cannot send files over Bluetooth to my Windows 10 PC: I start "Receive files" on the Bluetooth notification icon on my Windows PC. I start Bluetooth File Exchange on my Mac and select the file, click Send, select the Windows 10 PC as the target in Devices list. Then Bluetooth File Exchange on my Mac says: "The device does not have the necessary services." What am I missing?

Bluetooth file exchange not working betwen Mac Mini and iPad The error message is "The device does not have the necessary services". I'm trying this between a mac mini running El Capitan and an iPad (6th Generation) running iOS 14.7.1 The irritating thing is that it works beautifully between my 5 year old Samsung Android phone and the very same Mac mini. I have tried setting this up every which way possible thru system preferences. Thanks for any help in advance.
