How do I add Bluetooth capability to a computer?
-
I've got the Beelink GR9 computer that evidently does not have Bluetooth capability. And I have a smartphone in which it seems the only way I can transfer photos that I take on it is to share it via Bluetooth. Can I just a Bluetooth dongle that could be inserted into a USB drive, and would get the ability to receive files sent via Bluetooth - like these? Amazon.com : bluetooth dongle[^]

Form experience - a Bluetooth dongle works perfectly...

I use that exact same model, and it works perfectly

I use [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore\](X-plore File Manager) to transfer files (any type) between my Android phone and my computer.

I used a Bluetooth 4.0 dongle with headphones, keyboard, mouse and phone for a couple of years with no issues. Any of them should just plug in and work.

not supposed to be the only way to tranfer photos, you miss out some tools. I can give you some names, Wondershare, FoneDog Phone Transfer.:suss: and they're faster than using bluetooth.

I have the Beelink N5095, which nowhere near fancy as the GR9, and it's got BT built-in. Are you sure it's not just turned off, or the driver needs to be installed?
I don't even have a WIFI modem that works. I tried to contact Beelink technical support, but that was a joke. I bought it off of Amazon as Beelink was pretty much the only inexpensive, fast micro-desktop - and by the time I had come to the conclusion that the WIFI just doesn't work, I had already installed Windows 10 (i.e., instead of the crap Windows 11) and installed my apps & files, so I wasn't in the mood to zap the drive and return it. With a WIFI USB stick, everything works, and there are a lot of USB ports on the rig, and I have a venerable Dynex USB hub too - and I have exactly 1 free USB port for that Bluetooth. :)
