Where are bluetooth received files saved

Question

I have used Blueman and the default Bluetooth manager an every time I accept the file transfer from the Phone to the PC, it shows that it is transferring and even notifies me that the transfer was successful but I can not find the image anywhere.

Where are files stored after sending them via Bluetooth to the PC?

I already checked my Home folder. The Picture folder which I thought it would be the one for images. Then the document folder and afterwards I did a huge check on all folders under /home. No luck. Is nowhere. I even checked this answer with no luck.

Answer 1

I found my BT transferred files in Home>Public

Answer 2

Ubuntu 13.10 and 14.04

All the transferred files through bluetooth are stored in ~/Downloads directory.

Answer 3

I came here to see where my files ended up but none of the answers hit the point, so for completeness: I am using blueman-manager with xfce on trusty and the files ended up in my home directory.

Answer 4

Mine ended up in ~/.cache/obexd/ In Xubuntu 18.04.6 LTS.

Answer 5

I still can't find mine anywhere (used find ~/ -name '2015*.jpg' -ls and it comes back with zilch).

It's a major defect that the BT applet doesn't let you configure where they get saved. Right now it looks like they go into the æther...

[edited] Grrr yes it does...once you find it under "Local Services" FFS, and you still have to enable it to receive. This really ought to work out of the box.

Answer 6

On Ubuntu 20.04 the path is set in Bluetooth Settings.
