Unable to file transfer from Android 13 to MacOS 13.1 (22C65) via bluetooth

Sending files from Android 13 via Bluetooth has been working for over a year but recently stopped. When I try to send a file to the MacBook Pro M1 (MacOS 13.1), I get an error message in Outbound File Transfers on my Android device that says "Connection Unsuccessful". There have been a few MacOS updates as well as Android security patches, however, this used to work before.


  1. I checked that my phone is connected to MacOS via Bluetooth
  2. I re-paired my phone with MacOS
  3. I checked the Sharing|Bluetooth options and configured what to do when a file is received
  4. I verified that my phone can send files to my tablet and vice versa just fine
  5. Verified that using File Exchange I can send files from MacOS to my android device (so the connection is working)


Has this been disabled with the latest version of MacOS?


Thanks.



MacBook Pro 15″
