[Q] Documents to go - Docs on usb stick - Acer Iconia A500

Does somebody knows how to open documents stored on a usb stick in Docs to Go?
I kan see the files and i can play video's from the usb stick, but i cannot see how to browse to the files in Docs to Go.
My Iconia is not rooted.

I use file manager HD and open the documents directly from the USB storage. Works great for me.

Yes, via Bluetooth or dropbox "wifi"

via FTP
I also use a free file manager from the marketplace called File Manager HD. It allows me to map a drive to my Windows machine wirelessly. From there I just copy the files I need.

ES manager is the best. You can also copy files to the microsd.
Wifi file Explorer works.
Android to pc on free app and pc to Android on paid

I use WebSharing File/Media Sync by NextApp. It creates a web server on your phone. Connect you PC to your phone via wifi and you use your PC browser to view, upload and download files from TF
The Lite version is free and has no ads. The full version cost $3.00, but it is worth paying as I use it a lot to transfer movies and music
As a full function , but more expensive solution, I use a Tonido Plug ( Small server module at $99.00) connected to a 1TB drive. It is on 247 and I can access via wireless at home or anywhere in the world via internet to up/download files or stream photos or music. Do not have to leave PC on.

+1 for the File Manager HD
It is free, nice graphics and UI. Mapped my networked storage, and gives me instant access to all files on it wirelessly.

Another +1 for File Manager HD, looks great and allows wireless transfers. I tried that ES File Manager and lol it looks horrible, I don't see how anybody could like it or even stand to use it.

+1 for Tonido. You can install Tonido on your PC, Mac or Linux computer and upload, download files from you Android phone.

PC to Tablet Wifi Transfer?

Any FTP app that I have tried on my 10.1 seems to require me to browse my tablet's files FROM my pc and then upload a file on my pc TO the tablet.
I would like Tab to be able to connect to my LAN, and then be able to view my PC's folders FROM my tablet.
Scenario:
1. Using my tablet in bed and want a video or other file on my PC.
2. Way to tired to go downstairs with the tablet, usb link it to the PC, wait for file to transfer, go backupstairs.
3. Would much prefer to keep my lazy butt in bed, and just ftp browse my PC folders (always on) from my Tab
4. Would love it to download in the background, while I do something else on the the tablet in the meantime.
I dont wish to use dropbox or sugarsync to transfer files wirelessly.
I do that already. If the file I want is not in my dropbox then I have to go to the pc anyway. Also, its double the time with a PC upload first, then a tablet download.
I am using Win 7 64x and it would be great to have the Tab as part of my Homegroup.

I have shared all my drives in my PC and use ES file explorer to browse them from my tablet
I use es file explorer all the time . It can access my shared folders of my computer network or download through ftp!
Try the following
Gmote app - lets you stream videos from pc and much more. However you have to run the corresponding software on your pc.
Software cable - this is probably not what you want but it is worth trying due to its simplicity
Cheers
I use es file explorer as well and it works great, my only issue is that large files ie. movies will say they have copied successfully from PC to tablet but when I look for them they are not on the tablet anywhere???
Has anyone else experienced this?
I did transfer once but via cable, and yes, the file disappears. not sure what happened. File Explorer is surely one of the more interesting options out there that supports ftp and http file transfer, but i have yet to do any large file transfers yet.

[Q] Can't see certain folder when plugged into PC?

Since I got my Tablet I have been copying music, pictures and some music videos on the internal SD via external mini SD. I created a few folders on the internal SD, wallpapers, pictures, video folders etc. and put files in said corresponding folders.
Today I finally installed WMP 11 so I can directly connect my tab to my pc for faster file transfering but when I plug in the tab the folders I have created including a few from installed apps do not show up, only the stock folders do...?
I put my movies etc. in the movie folder hoping that they would appear but they do not when plugged into the pc. What's the deal here??
I would install File Explorer HD and then you willbe able tower the files on your device, but in windows you'll only beable to see your memory cards and very little more.

Where to store ebooks?

Hello, I am a Mac user new to Android phone. I need some advice. I got several ebook files stored under "book" within iTunes. Whenever I launch an Apple app called iBook, all the ebooks are available in one place. I have connected the Galaxy Note to my MacBook Pro using an usb cable. Where in the Note should I copy the ebook/pdf files to? Is there a specific folder to store these files? Thanks.

If you have adobe reader or any.pdf reader app installed in your device, you can just make a folder in your external/internal storage and place all your ebooks there.
Ps: launch the app and you'll see your ebooks on it.

If you have the common epub format files, you can store them in the folder associated with a epub reader. I store in the folder lumibooks, for example. Cheers!
You can import books into the Kobo reader, part of the Readers Hub. Just place the files into the kobo/spubs folder using the MyFiles app. Then should be able to import them into the app, there is a import option.

Yup, and if you install apps like Aldiko or Kobo your epub ebooks will usually be stored in the "eBooks" folder on your SD card, which will automatically be created.
If you want some other PDF or Epub readers, just search the Play Store for "PDF Reader" or "Epub".
You can also just drop the iTunes mentality from now on. You don't have to use a software to transfer your stuff. Just drag and drop the stuff over to your Note.
I use fbreader and it finds the ebooks wherever they are stored on the sd card in numerous folders

Thanks. Is the kobo/spubs folder created by default? After I clicked Readers Hub, I see a list of folders but there is no kobo. On the top left, I see /sdcard
The home screen of Readers Hub looks nice.
I am also consider ezpdf reader because it is fully compatible with S-pen, has Japanese language and annotations supported.

Mount USB drive

Hi,
I have a RKM MK80, in it I have attached a USB hard drive.
Since its possible to upload for free up to 1tb in flickr, i wanted to upload all the photos i have in this hard drive from the RKM MK80.
For this i found and app in google market (i dont know if i can say the name) for bulk upload.
The app can not detect the folders from the USB drive.
I contacted the app Owner and he says that the app is using the same database as the gallery to detect the folders.
In fact i have seen that the Gallery is not able to see the photos stored in the USB drive.
QuickPick Can, I guess it explores all sources.
Is there any way to mount the usb Drive or a given folder to a folder in the internal memory?
A kind of cifs/samba unit but from the USB-HDD instead of a network location, so the Gallery can see the contents.
Thanks
