When i want to send a file from my nexus 7 (android 6.0) it fails to send the file, and my nexus 7 says the transfer is forbidden by the target device. I can send files, but not receive them.

I have tried the solution in this thread: How do you make Ubuntu accept files sent over bluetooth

But that does not work, what can i do?

One package that isn't listed in your linked thread is obexftp and you can install with 

sudo apt-get install obexftp

Then see if your bluetooth transfers work

The obexftp package provides object exchange file transfer protocol which is needed for bluetooth and other file transfers.

  • Ubuntu 15.10 might be a lost cause as far as incoming bluetooth transfers are concerned. File a bug report
