BLE is designed for broadcasting tiny amounts of data in packets (20 bytes). That would be entirely inefficient for larger amounts of data. There is no reliable data streaming mode for BLE. These little chunks of data broadcast periodically are what make it "low energy".
The typical use case for BLE is with a beacon that repeatedly broadcasts information some state or information about itself to any other device that wants to listen.
