This can be done by blocking\restricting access to Bluetooth using either Device restriction profile or Device control setting.
Can we block file transfer from Windows PC to Android phone?

Hi All,
I am looking for a method to block end-users from transferring confidential data from Windows 10 devices to Android phones using Microsoft Intune and/or Microsoft Endpoint DLP.
I look forward to a guide for this.
Sincerely,

You can restrict copying the data to USB devices in Microsoft Intune by creating a custom profile.
You can set app protection policies for Office mobile apps on devices running Windows, iOS/iPadOS, or Android to protect company data. These policies let you set policies such as app-based PIN or company data encryption, or more advanced settings to restrict how you cut, copy, paste, and save-as features are used by users between managed and unmanaged apps.
