Public bug reported:

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.
