How can I send files via Bluetooth on iPhone 4?

Last Updated :

If you are using an iPhone, iPad or any Apple product then you can transfer files between your iOS devices or Mac using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connections. There are two software applications used to transfer files between one iOS device to another, they are:
  • AirDrop: Used to transfer files between nearby devices and computers. 
  • Handoff: Used to start working on a file on one device and continue working on it from another.
  • AirBlue Sharing: Used to share files with the local devices. It allows you to send or receive from any Bluetooth device (even Android).
Following is a step by step process given to send a file via Bluetooth on iPhone 4 using AirBlue Sharing:
  1. Once you install AirBlue Sharing on your device, reboot it.
  2. When you want to receive a file, you need to just double click on the status bar.
  3. AirBlue Sharing will listen to the incoming file transfers in 120seconds. (You can also change the configuration in Settings of AirBlue Sharing & then you will see the Bluetooth options in Photos, Music, videos in your iPhone).
  4. Now you can Choose Bluetooth & start sharing with your friends.
You need to just keep in mind that before you start receiving a file via Bluetooth, activate the application. Go to 'Photos' or 'Music' & send any files. It will immediately ask you to Activate. Click Activate & you are all set to transfer any files via Bluetooth.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
