Enabling Bluetooth file receiving on Gnome 3.8

Well this applies to Fedora 19. With the default installation you will not be able to receive file from your Bluetooth device such as your smart phone. First of all you need to install the following libraries using your package manager.

gnome-user-share obexfs

Once the above libraries are installed, go into Settings -> Share and enable Bluetooth sharing and make sure you "Save Received Files to Download Folder". After this restart your PC.

Now you can pair your phone with the PC and send files to your PC.
