如果您想在不同设备之间传输文件，您有几个选择。您可以使用直接电缆连接，但这仅在您的设备支持此连接并且您手头有正确的电缆(correct cable)时才有效。您可以使用云存储在设备之间同步文件，但这依赖于互联网连接。
对于大多数用户而言，将本地文件(file transfer)从智能手机或数码相机等设备传输到 PC 的最佳选择是使用蓝牙(Bluetooth)。虽然您可以将蓝牙(Bluetooth)用于各种用途，包括通信，但它的最佳用途之一是用于文件传输。您可以按照这些说明在Windows上通过(Windows)蓝牙(Bluetooth)传输文件。]
如何在 Windows 10 中启用蓝牙(How To Enable Bluetooth In Windows 10)
在您可以使用蓝牙将文件发送到(Bluetooth)Windows PC之前，您首先需要打开蓝牙(turn Bluetooth on)以允许它连接到您的 PC。
- 为此，您需要访问蓝牙(Bluetooth)设置菜单。首先右键单击Windows 开始菜单并单击(Windows Start menu and clicking) 设置(Settings)。
- 在设置(Settings)菜单中，单击Devices > Bluetooth以访问您的蓝牙(Bluetooth)设置。要启用蓝牙，请单击(Bluetooth)蓝牙(Bluetooth)选项旁边的滑块。您将知道蓝牙(Bluetooth)已启用，因为启用蓝牙(Bluetooth)后滑块旁边会显示“开(On)” 。
- 您需要允许蓝牙(Bluetooth)设备找到您的 PC。为此，请单击右侧“相关设置(Related settings)”部分下的“更多蓝牙选项”选项。(More Bluetooth options)
- 在选项选项卡下，单击以启用(Options)允许蓝牙设备找到此 PC(Allow Bluetooth devices to find this PC )选项旁边的复选框。
- 您可能希望从蓝牙任务栏图标快速访问您的(Bluetooth taskbar)蓝牙(Bluetooth)设备和设置，但默认情况下可能未启用。要启用此功能，请单击以启用在通知区域中显示蓝牙图标(Show the Bluetooth icon in the notifications area)选项旁边的复选框，显示在蓝牙设置(Bluetooth Settings)窗口 的选项选项(Options)卡下。
启用这些设置后，您现在可以通过蓝牙(Bluetooth)从其他设备传输文件。此过程会有所不同，具体取决于您使用的设备类型。
在 Windows 上配对蓝牙设备(Pairing Bluetooth Devices On Windows)
在您可以使用蓝牙将文件发送到(Bluetooth)Windows PC之前，您需要将您的设备配对在一起。这会在您的 PC 和支持蓝牙(Bluetooth)的设备之间建立安全连接，允许您发送和接收文件。
- 要在Windows上配对设备，请打开蓝牙(Bluetooth)设置菜单（Settings > Devices > Bluetooth），然后按顶部的添加蓝牙或其他设备按钮。(Add Bluetooth or other device)
- 在添加设备(Add a device)菜单中，单击蓝牙(Bluetooth)。确保蓝牙(Bluetooth)已在您的其他设备上启用并且可被发现。
- Windows将扫描附近的设备。找到您的设备后，单击它以开始连接。Windows将提供一个身份验证PIN 码(PIN code)，您可能需要在其他设备上输入该码以确保成功建立连接。
- 建立连接并且您的设备已成功配对后，您应该会在“添加设备(Add a device)”窗口中看到“您的设备已准备就绪”(Your device is ready to go)消息。
通过蓝牙将文件传输到 Windows PC(Transfer Files Via Bluetooth To A Windows PC)
一旦启用蓝牙(Bluetooth)，您的 PC 设置为被其他人发现，并且您已经能够成功地将蓝牙设备与您的 PC 配对，您就可以向(Bluetooth device)Windows PC发送和接收文件。如果您按照上面的说明进行操作，现在应该是这种情况。
- 要将文件发送到Windows PC，请在任务栏的通知区域中找到蓝牙图标(Bluetooth icon)。右键单击该图标，然后按“接收文件(Receive a File)”选项。
- Windows 现在可以接收文件了。您应该会在蓝牙文件传输(Bluetooth File Transfer )窗口中看到等待连接(Waiting for a connection)消息。
如果您发送文件的设备具有蓝牙连接(Bluetooth connectivity)，您现在可以将文件发送到您的 PC 。此过程会有所不同，具体取决于您的平台。
- 有多种方法可以通过蓝牙(Bluetooth)将文件从Android传输到 PC。但是，大多数Android 照片库或文件管理应用程序(photo gallery or file management apps)都会有一个共享(Share)按钮，其中列出了用于共享文件的各种方法。在您选择的应用程序(chosen app)中选择您的文件，点击共享(Share)，然后选择蓝牙(Bluetooth)选项以开始文件传输过程(file transfer process)（在此过程中选择您配对的Windows 10 PC）。
- 不幸的是，实际上不可能使用蓝牙将照片或其他文件从(Bluetooth)iPhone 或 iPad(iPhone or iPad)发送到Windows PC。Apple设备使用AirDrop轻松传输文件，但Windows PC(Windows PCs)不支持此方法(method isn)。如果你想在 iPhone、iPad 和Windows之间移动文件，你可以使用 iCloud 来做。可以在Windows上使用 iCloud Web 界面(web interface)访问存储在 iCloud 存储中的文件。
其他设备，例如数码相机，将有自己的方法来启用蓝牙(Bluetooth)和发送文件。但是，配对和文件传输过程(pairing and file transfer process)保持不变。确保蓝牙(Bluetooth)处于活动状态并且您的设备已与您的 PC 配对，并确保“接收文件(Receive a File)”窗口已打开并准备好接收您的文件。
如果该过程一开始失败，请重试。蓝牙(Bluetooth)连接可能会因各种原因而失败，包括设备之间的距离过大、来自其他来源的干扰或未批准传输（例如，在您的设备上批准传输速度太慢），因此请务必仔细检查您的在继续之前连接。
将文件发送到 Mac(Sending Files To A Mac)
如果您使用的是iPhone 或 iPad ，从(iPhone or iPad)蓝牙(Bluetooth)设备到Mac的文件传输通常很容易完成，因为您将使用AirDrop 进行传输(AirDrop for transfers)。您可以从“系统偏好(System Preferences )设置” > “蓝牙”菜单访问您的(Bluetooth)蓝牙(Bluetooth)设备和设置，在此可以查看和连接到其他设备。
您可以通过打开Finder并单击左侧菜单(left-hand menu)中的AirDrop来快速访问Mac上的AirDrop ，其中将列出附近的Apple设备。(Apple)
只要将窗口底部的“允许我被发现”设置为“(Allow me to be discovered by)所有人(Everyone)”，其他本地Mac、iPhone 和 iPad 用户就可以向此设备发送文件。
不幸的是，将文件从其他类型的设备传输到Mac有点困难。
例如， Android(Android)设备很难连接到Mac并使用蓝牙文件(Bluetooth file)传输。您可以将蓝牙(Bluetooth)用于其他用途，例如网络共享(internet tethering)，但文件传输通常会失败。您将需要使用替代方法，例如直接USB 连接(USB connection)或替代云存储方法(storage method)来移动文件。
对于其他类型的蓝牙(Bluetooth)设备，您可能会遇到类似的问题。如果是这种情况，请调查这些设备的其他连接方法，例如通过电缆或外部媒体。
在 Windows 和 Mac 上使用蓝牙(Using Bluetooth On Windows and Mac)
如果您决定通过蓝牙(Bluetooth)传输文件，则可以节省时间和精力(time and effort)，但这只有在您的设备在附近时才有可能。其他方法更适合远程文件(long-distance file)传输，包括通过电子邮件发送大文件或使用安全的在线服务(secure online service)进行文件传输。
然而，蓝牙(Bluetooth)还有其他用途。一旦 PC 具有蓝牙功能(Bluetooth capable)，您就可以将无线外围设备连接到您的 PC，将音乐(stream music)无线传输到Amazon Echo等(Amazon Echo)蓝牙(Bluetooth)扬声器，或者使用蓝牙通过(Bluetooth)耳机或麦克风(headset or mic)进行无线通信。
How To Transfer Files Via Bluetooth To Your PC
If you want tо transfer files between different devices, you have a few options. You сould use a direct cabled connection, but this only works іf your device suppоrts this and if you have the сorrect cable to hand. You could use cloud storage to sync your files between devices, but this relies on an internet connection.
For most users, the best option for local file transfer from devices like smartphones or digital cameras to your PC is to use Bluetooth. While you can use Bluetooth for all kinds of uses, including for communication, one of its best uses is for file transfers. You can transfer files via Bluetooth on Windows by following these instructions.]
How To Enable Bluetooth In Windows 10
Before you can send files to a Windows PC using Bluetooth, you’ll first need to turn Bluetooth on to allow it to connect to your PC.
- To do this, you’ll need to access the Bluetooth settings menu. Start by right-clicking the Windows Start menu and clicking Settings.
- In the Settings menu, click Devices > Bluetooth to access your Bluetooth settings. To enable Bluetooth, click the slider next to the Bluetooth option. You’ll know that Bluetooth is enabled because On will appear next to the slider once Bluetooth has been enabled.
- You’ll need to allow Bluetooth devices to find your PC. To do this, click the More Bluetooth options option under the Related settings section on the right.
- Under the Options tab, click to enable the checkbox next to the Allow Bluetooth devices to find this PC option.
- You’ll probably want to quickly access your Bluetooth devices and settings from the Bluetooth taskbar icon, but this may not be enabled by default. To enable this, click to enable the checkbox next to the Show the Bluetooth icon in the notifications area option, shown under the Options tab of the Bluetooth Settings window.
With these settings enabled, you can now transfer files via Bluetooth from other devices. This process will differ, depending on the type of device you’re using.
Pairing Bluetooth Devices On Windows
Before you can send files to a Windows PC using Bluetooth, you’ll need to pair your devices together. This creates a secure connection between your PC and the Bluetooth capable device, allowing you to send and receive files.
- To pair a device on Windows, open the Bluetooth settings menu (Settings > Devices > Bluetooth) and press the Add Bluetooth or other device button at the top.
- In the Add a device menu, click Bluetooth. Make sure that Bluetooth is enabled and discoverable on your other device.
- Windows will scan for nearby devices. Once it locates your device, click on it to begin the connection. Windows will provide an authentication PIN code that you may be required to type in on your other device to ensure a connection is successfully made.
- Once the connection is made and your devices are successfully paired, you should see a Your device is ready to go message in the Add a device window.
Transfer Files Via Bluetooth To A Windows PC
You can send and receive files to a Windows PC once Bluetooth is enabled, your PC is set to be discovered by others, and if you’ve been able to successfully pair your Bluetooth device to your PC. If you followed the instructions above, this should now be the case.
- To send a file to a Windows PC, find the Bluetooth icon in the notifications area of your taskbar. Right-click the icon, then press the Receive a File option.
- Windows will now be in a position to receive files. You should see a Waiting for a connection message in the Bluetooth File Transfer window.
You can now send files to your PC if the device you’re sending from has Bluetooth connectivity. This process will vary, depending on your platform.
- There are multiple ways to transfer files via Bluetooth from Android to PC. Most Android photo gallery or file management apps, however, will have a Share button, with various methods listed for sharing your files. Select your files in your chosen app, tap Share, then choose the Bluetooth option to begin the file transfer process (selecting your paired Windows 10 PC in the process).
- Unfortunately, it isn’t really possible to send photos or other files from an iPhone or iPad to a Windows PC using Bluetooth. Apple devices use AirDrop for easy file transfers, but this method isn’t supported by Windows PCs. If you want to move files between iPhones, iPads and Windows, you could use iCloud to do so. Files stored in your iCloud storage can be accessed on Windows using the iCloud web interface.
Other devices, such as digital cameras, will have their own methods for enabling Bluetooth and sending files. The pairing and file transfer process remains the same, however. Ensure that Bluetooth is active and your device is paired with your PC, and make sure the Receive a File window is open and ready to receive your files.
If the process fails at first, try again. Bluetooth connections can fail for various reasons, including too much distance between the devices, interference from other sources, or a lack of approval for transfers (eg. being too slow to approve them on your devices), so be sure to double-check your connection before you proceed.
Sending Files To A Mac
File transfers from Bluetooth devices to a Mac are usually easy to complete if you’re using an iPhone or iPad, as you’ll be using AirDrop for transfers. You can access your Bluetooth devices and settings from the System Preferences > Bluetooth menu, where it’s possible to view and connect to other devices.
You can quickly access AirDrop on your Mac by opening Finder and clicking AirDrop in the left-hand menu, where nearby Apple devices will be listed.
As long as the Allow me to be discovered by setting at the bottom of the window is set to Everyone, other local Mac, iPhone, and iPad users will be able to send files to this device.
Unfortunately, transferring files to a Mac from other types of devices is a little harder.
Android devices, for instance, will find it hard to connect to a Mac and use Bluetooth file transfers. You can use Bluetooth for other uses, such as internet tethering, but file transfers typically fail. You would need to use an alternative method, such as a direct USB connection or alternative cloud storage method to move files instead.
You may face similar issues with other types of Bluetooth capable devices. If this is the case, investigate other connection methods for those devices, such as by cable or external media.
Using Bluetooth On Windows and Mac
You can save time and effort if you decide to transfer files via Bluetooth, but this is only possible if your devices are close by. Other methods are better for long-distance file transfers, including sending large files by email or by using a secure online service for file transfers instead.
Bluetooth has other uses, however. Once a PC is Bluetooth capable, you can connect wireless peripherals to your PC, stream music wirelessly to Bluetooth speakers like the Amazon Echo, or use Bluetooth for wireless communication using a headset or mic.
