I use dropbox to download .pdb files and use isilo to view them. It works flawless on my galaxy nexus but on my n10 I get a message "please download an app that can open this file" and they don't show up in isilo. this may not be n10 specific but if anyone knows whats up please reply.

Ok so seems I've seen this asked in a few differnt theards so I fig I would just post up info once.
For uploads, yes its disabled, but there is a work around. Go to linda file mgr. Long press the file u want, select send to, then gmail (email doesn't work for some reason, has to be gmail). It will automatically bring u to a new email with the file attached ready to send. I've tested this with all types of files, test up to 7mb so far.
Now to get uploads working on websites...
Thanks, that helped a bunch. Good luck getting upload to work =D
Thank you so much for this!!!!!! I really needed it couple of days ago... I know now!
Ok so I have an update on my tests, but first let me clear up some things I've read in here.
Just installing linda file mgr will enable Downloading of any file type, but uploads though browser are disabled. Thats why i came up with this method.
So test results:
Yes you can Upload .zip files. I sent a few small ones to my other email. You can pretty much send Any file type.
Yes there is a file size limit. Only bigger files I had on my phone was .mp4 and 1 update.zip(46mb). The size limit is around 20 mb. I sent several up too and including a 19.46mb.mp4 and all went though.I then sent a 24mb.mp4 and would not go though. It just hangs in outbox. If after 30 mins (or whenever ur satisfied that it won't send) delete it out of out box, because u won't receive new emails till its deleted, cause its repeatly trying to send I guess.
Can a mod pls change the title of this thread to something like "yes you can upload any file type in gmail" or something like that so people know this is a how too and not a question. thanks.
can u download from the web or not

Yes g1 in its stock form will let u download "known file types". installing linda file mgr installs a plug in that let's you download any file type. What I am telling u how to do is upload, that is send any attachment you want though gmail.
ASTRO 1.3.11 includes this plugin for the browser download as well. question is now, How do I download pdfs and the like using the GMail program... I can preview the file. How do I save it?

You can't dl them in the gmail app, but you can go to gmail.com in ur browser, when u click on the pdf (or any other file type for that matter) it will automattically download it to ur sd card
I have the Bell Galaxy S and sometimes email attachments will fail to download. For example I can't download an mpg or jpg file my parents sent me. However, I can download a small text file. Anyone have similar issues and does anyone know how to fix it?
I have an issue downloading "large" files.
It's weird because it seems to be source dependent as well. I was able to download a 34MB HTC sync driver yet a RAR file of 40MB wouldn't download even though the save to pop-up showed up on opera and i pick location but it never starts.
in the built in browser on the other hand i get unsuported file error show up.
I was using the Samsung Email with my hotmail account sync'd. Mpg files and jpg files failed to download. It's very frustrating...even a pdf failed to download but I know I had been able to download one before.
you guys should try this

do you have astro file manager installed? if so, there is an option to enable the browser to download unknown file types or smth like that, but it also states that it will mess up your email attachments, so if you have enabled it, you know what to do ^^
cheers
yes astro works too
Sorry, how does this affect using Samsung Email to download attachments? Does it even help? I'd really just like to know why certain files download fine as attachments to the attachment folder while others do not. How can I make it so I can download all attachments...?
it works just like your file association in windows
if you do not have an App installed that can handle the file type, it wont let you do anything with the file, not even saving it to disk
That's stupid that you can't even download the file. Thanks for the help guys.
Here's a set of instructions to get apps to those that live in countries withnless than cooperative markets:
1. Download the app to bent sent from the market and install.
2. Using an app backup utility (like MyBackup Pro) to backup the file to it's raw .apk.
3. Upload that file to the web for hosting (I use my dropbox, since its free and all native on my tablet)
4. Share the link on here for all to enjoy!
I may have over-simplified the steps, but it gives you an idea how it's possible.
Another option is to point everyone in need to 4shared.com so they can search for the .apk directly for download. Hope this helps!

This is the 4th day I get the Focus, and just completed the mango update and unlock.
But now I come into a question that I cannot download anything, i.e. mp3, zip, rar files.
I also try the kickbox app for dropbox, but it can't download files too, only can open some documents. Any other android devices can do this thing...
How can I do with this problem?
Actually you can't download anything , You can just open the file if it's openable (If the Windows phone supports it like Mp4 , DOCx , ....etc).
This would be a great feature, but I'm sure Microsoft would see this as vulnerability, so not likely to be pushed, I was hoping after opening the file hat it would be stored temp, or cached somewhere but after hours of looking through files, no luck

Can someone tell me any android browser which can upload files to site like dev host i have tried most browsers like :
Opera mini/classic/beta , Dolphin browser , Mozilla ,Boat , Stock , and many more cant remember all the names but all failes to upload files some stops immediately some keep loading and stops after few minutes my pc is not working and i need to upload a file of 200mb.
Please some one tell is there any browser or method with which i can upload files to dev host
Unfortunately no Web browser iv used on my phone can upload files larger than around 8mb to dev host - the browser just crashes if file is too large
I recommend for large files to download the mediafire app from playstore as you can upload large files & publicly post links without problems
You can also use the Dropbox app but don't publicly post links to large files or your account maybe suspended (sharing with one person is fine privately)
But Sir after uploading it to mediafire from the app or to dropbox is it possible to get the direct download link from viewing page source like in dev host

Yes long press on the file and select copy link share link etc (varies between different apps)
The link is then copied to your phone's clipboard and you can then paste it anywhere
mediafire app - press arrow next to file - select copy link - paste link in email text message Web browser etc
dropbox app - long press on file - select share - select copy link - paste link as above
Try to split your file using winrar or hjsplitter.
