What are the likely limitations of using Bluetooth for file transfer?

Bluetooth is one of the very first ways of transferring files from one device to another. Most smartphones and PCs have Bluetooth connectivity.

What are the likely limitations in using Bluetooth to transfer files between devices?

Bluetooth can't connect over long distances, and even when there are hurdles between the connecting devices.

Transferring files from Bluetooth is always very slow. One can't use Bluetooth to transfer movies or data files of games.

I think one major limitation is the speed. Sending large files can be extremely slow with Bluetooth.

Bluetooth file transaction limitation, if you are sending large files at the same time will very slow on Bluetooth.

Bluetooth is useful for quick, small transfers, but it has quite a few limitations. The biggest one for me is speed, it’s painfully slow when you try to send large files. Range is another issue since you have to keep devices fairly close, and any interference can interrupt the connection. I’ve also noticed that transfers can fail easily if one device locks or switches apps. On top of that, compatibility between different devices or Bluetooth versions can be frustrating. Overall, it works best for small files, not regular or heavy file sharing.
