gnome-file-share-properties states to receive files over bluetooth in Downloads folder, while it actually receives in Public folder

[Frederik Elwert]

In gnome-file-share-properties, the option to enable receiving files over bluetooth is labeled “Receive files in Downloads folder over Bluetooth”. In fact, however, it receives files in Public folder.

I am not exactly sure which is the desired behavior (Downloads folder would actually make sense to me, but one could also argue in favor of Public folder, which can be shared over Bluetooth). But either way, the label and the behavior should match.

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

The latest version of gnome-user-share does not provide any GUI interface itself but is just a service that can be used by a frontend like the Settings > Sharing > File Sharing panel in gnome-control-center. Therefore, I am closing this bug.

Can you reproduce this bug with newer version of Ubuntu MATE?
