On previous versions of Ubuntu I seem to recall having the option to "browse device" (like on Mac OS X) enabled by default in Bluetooth settings. Now I am running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and I can very easily send files through the bluetooth settings menu, but there exists no option to receive files.

I have tried installing

• bluez


• blueman


• obexftp

and some other applications in the hopes of inadvertently enabling this functionality, but nothing I've done seems to have worked. I would like to find a GUI solution, as I don't want to have to fiddle around in the command line too often just to browse files on my bluetooth devices, and I need this functionality very frequently, as I use a tablet, connected to my laptop by bluetooth, to do things like signing documents and such. Does anyone know how to get this working on Ubuntu 20.04?
