Title:
  bluetooth indicator has no option to enable file sharing

Status in Bluetooth Menu:
  New
Status in indicator-bluetooth package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  if you go to bluetooth settings via the bluetooth-indicator, you can
  pair with other devices such as phones, but there is no option to
  enable file sharing. When attempting to send a file with a paired
  device it silently fails. There is no prompt to confirm the file
  transfer.

  As it turns out you have to enable bluetooth filesharing in a separate
  menu "Personal file sharing", wich is only available via the Dash.
  There you have the option to recieve files. This is totally not
  obvious and there should atleast be a link from the bluetooth
  indicator to this menu.

  This is on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on two different laptops I have tried.
