Bluetooth has always been troublesome for me. I use wifi instead, in combination with a great file manager for Android called X-plore, by Lonely Cat Games. It gives you several alternatives - SSH, WiFi Direct, Send Anywhere, FTP and LAN. I just use SSH. Easy to set up, never fails me, and I'm sure the speed vastly exceeds what Bluetooth provides anyway.
I suppose you could set up a SSH server on your phone too, with something like Termux perhaps, if you wanted to initiate the transfer the other way round (from computer to phone), but I'm happy enough initiating from phone. Transfer is both ways anyway.
