No, Frank, cause that's not what I want to do .... but as you asked 
again .... I turned Bluetooth ON on my Mobile phone then, in bottom 
right of screen, I selected the 'Network and Internet settings' thingee, 
selected the 'Bluetooth' setting and it showed my Aspera Jazz 2 as 'Not 
Connected'. Double clicking on it achieved ZERO.


Taking into account what I've typed above, when I Right Click a File to 
share from the SSD on the 'Share' screen the file I've selected is shown 
then 'No contacts yet' and 'share using .... Nearby sharing .... Notepad 
.... Paint .... Snipping Tool'

Selecting 'Nearby Sharing' brings up a screen to ...

"Turn On" sharing with a nearby Windows PC, or, "My Phone"

Selecting "My Phone" brings up a "Phone Link" screen. Select 'Android". 
That brings up a Microsoft Sign in screen ..... No Thank You!!
