  <title>Control sharing over Bluetooth</title>

  <p>You can allow access to your <file>Downloads</file> folder for Bluetooth
  file sharing, and also restrict that access to only <em>trusted devices</em>.
  Configure <gui>Bluetooth Sharing</gui> to control access to the shared folder
  on your computer.</p>

  <note style="info">
    <p>A Bluetooth device is <em>trusted</em> if you have <em>paired</em>, or
    connected your computer to it. See
    <link xref="bluetooth-connect-device"/>.</p>
