Dear all,
Would like to learn from you guys on how to transfer files from an android phone to a surface 2.
The surface 2 doesn't seem to recognize the phone when connected via USB.
I then tried to transfer file via Bluetooth, and it did connect but transfer was un-successful. (Solution found - see below)
How do you guys do it?
Thanks in advance.

Update: Solution Found and Tested
I have a Nexus and a Surface 2, and this is working for photo transfer from an android phone to Surface 2.
1. Turn on Bluetooth (BT) on both device.
2. Pair the device via BT
3. Going into the desktop of Surface 2, on the bottom right system tray click on the BT icon, then select "Receive a file"
4. Initiate Transfer from Phone.
If you don't see the BT icon:
Search for "Change Bluetooth Settings" on Surface 2, then tick the check box "Show the Bluetooth Icon in the notification area".
Good luck.

Update # 2:
Turns out the above method doesn't work all the time for the some reason, I have had only partial success with this.
