Share files via Bluetooth under OS X Mavericks
If you want to access your Mac data with Bluetooth, you can activate this option in the system settings as follows:
- Click on the Apple logo in the top left corner and then select "System Preferences ...".
- Then click on the "Share" option in the system settings.
- In the next window you will see a series of release boxes on the left side (see picture). Select "Bluetooth shares" here and check the box.
- In the settings on the right-hand side, you can also specify the folder in which received data is stored. You can also decide whether the receipt of files via Bluetooth is not permitted or whether this action should be requested first.
- For access from other devices, you also define an access folder and determine how your Mac deals with specific access requests.
