Public bug reported: I'm trying to transfer files to my phone (Nexus 6P - Android 8.0) from Ubuntu 17.10, but when I pair the laptop and phone, I don't think it's pairing in a way which permits file transfers. When I pair, my phone gives me a checkbox "Allow xx to access your contacts and call history", but there is no option to allow file transfers.
Then, when I attempt to transfer a file via Bluetooth from Ubuntu the transfer fails and I get the message "There was an error". My phone doesn't seem to recognise there's been any attempt to send a file.
