    You cannot send a file via bluetooth if your device(s) do not have bluetooth capability. You might want to try USB transfer instead. (Also, your phone generally has to be on to add files to it.)

    If you are on a Chromebook, then you go to settings then press bluetooth. If you are in a regular computer it might not have it. But if you do have bluetooth, you have to go to settings and search up bluetooth.
