Bluetooth Explorer and Bluetooth file sharing

Bluetooth Explorer searches for other Bluetooth devices that have file

sharing enabled and lets you access their Bluetooth shared folder. You

can copy files from and to their shared folder, and create subfolders in it.

When you enable Bluetooth file sharing on your device, other Bluetooth-

enabled devices will also be able to access your Bluetooth shared folder.
