how to enable bluetooth Android (Galaxy J7) to mac

how to enable bluetooth Android (Galaxy J7) to Mac (Catalina 10.15.6). Paired ok. Sent file from iMac to J7 ok. Browse Files on J7 fails with: "Device does NOT have necessary services". Apple Tech Support draws a blank. Same problem on OS X 10.9.6 MacBookPro.... BlueTooth is industry standard ... why won't work bi-directional?

it used to work on 3G cell phone. Galaxy J7 V (4G) cannot be "browsed device" from Apple Mac(s). However if use Galaxy J7V to "send = Share" selecting a file, then "share" and selecting destination "Mc device" sending=sharing works when initiated from Galaxy. Just "Browsing" from Mac does not work (any more). Guess giving up on browsing ....
