Where does WP 8 put files transfered via bluetooth?

[GregL2012]

So I transferred a file from Windows 8 pro to my Windows Phone 8 (Nokia Lumia 920) where did my 10mb file go?

I can't find it anywhere.

Anybody done this and actually found the file you transferred to your phone?

 

[iPwnza]

What kind of file was it?

 

[GregL2012]

It was either a .rar or .zip I can't remember

Since there are no apps that support reading zip or rar files, you probably won't physically see the zip file on the phone.

On a side note, a friend emailed me photos in a zip file, when I opened the zip file through the email, a file explorer page opened up with the all the photos listed in it and I was able to tap and open each photo. So you should try emailing it to yourself and open it that way and then save the individual files.

Hey Greg,

So did you find a solution for your problem? The lack of a File Manager app is pissing me off.

I have transferred some files from Samsung Ace phone to my Laptop with Windows 8. The files were displayed in buetooth folder. But after restarting the Laptop, the transferred disappeared and the buetooth folder showed it as empty.
Where did the transferred go?
Is there any way by whichI can retrieve these files?
Is there any method by which one save files tranferred via bluetooth on hard disk with Windows 8 as OS

Actually, use the archiver app to transfer the file

I transferred 1GB of FLAC audio from my N9 to WP8X via Bluetooth, only to have WP8X told me it cannot play FLAC. Now I have 1GB worth of FLAC in "Other" storage with no way to delete them.

 

[rAj06]

You transferred 1gb file using Bluetooth?!! How long did it take?

 

[vish2801]

And people say there's no need of File Manager....Huh.....
