Hi
how can i save non-supported format email attachments to my SD card.
I have received an email with a video file (AVI), and i just see a green android and a paper clip in place of the attachments, with no options to save (i tried long pressing)
I have tried k-9 client, but it also does not give me an option to download the attachment (only works for supported formats)
Thanks
anyone? dddd
I don't know, but if it's the same as for the browser (not letting you download unsupported file types) you could try something like byte tornado.
I installed that and I am now able to download any file (for sure from the browser but, if I remember well, from gmail app too) from the interwebz.
After loading all sorts of files onto Skydrive, I performed a sync with my WP7 phone. While the phone is connected to net or wifi, I can refresh the content and view the content. But it seems that every file is downloaded from Skydrive everytime I open the file. Why don't the files synced to the phone and stay with the phone so that I can view even if I don't have net or wifi access？
On slow connections and try to open a large file, if I have to download it from Skydrive, it will kills my monthly data plan I think.
Can any expert shed some light on how to keep the files synced AND stay with the phone?
Thanks.
For those of you experiencing some consternation regarding syncing your S-Notes with Evernote or Google Docs, here is some insight.
If you have attempted to do this, you will see that the .snb file which is your S-Notes file will appear in Evernote and Google Docs as an attachment. You cannot view the contents of this attachment nor can you launch your S-Notes app from Evernote or Google Docs to view the attachment.
So, you may ask yourself, what's the point?
Well, the point is that although neither of these apps can read an S-Note file, they both do provide a garage of sorts in which to park them. By syncing with your Evernote or Google Docs account, any device which has S-Note on it will be able to load all of the notes from your other device. You cannot open them directly from within Evernote or Google Docs but syncing them does make them show up.
So, to summarize. Yes, syncing your S-Notes is helpful in that it provides you common area in which to store your notes which devices using S-Notes can access through syncing.
Hope that was helpful.
P.S., From what I can tell, if you delete a note on your SGN10.1 and perform a syncing operation, the deleted note is NOT also deleted from Evernote or Google Docs. This means that if you delete notes then perform a Syncing operation, your deleted notes will re-appear if they have been synced previously. Swell, right?
To test this. Create a new note, sync it then delete the note. If you then sync again the note you have deleted re-appears.
The only way to permanently delete notes is to go to Evernote or Google Docs and delete them manually.
If I am wrong about this, someone please let me know. I don't claim to be an expert, simply passing along my observations.
If you do want your notes to appear in Evernote / Google Docs where you can actually see them, you can share individual notes as .pdf files with Evernote / Google Docs. However, any other device syncing with Evernote / Google Docs will only load the .snb files into their S-Notes program. So, if you want to share notes through syncing, you must sync the .snb file also. This can be done by either syncing or directly sharing.
Evernote is a MESS.
The more I look at the Android Evernote app the more I realize it is NOT ready for primetime. How the heck does something like this get released to the public?
Problems:
1) There is no option to choose which client controls the content. For instance, should the contributing client control the content and delete any notes from Evernote which no longer exist on it, or should Evernote control the content and even if the contributing client has deleted files, return those to the client? The second method is how Evernote does it. The PROBLEM with this is deleting notes from S-Notes is pointless since Evernote will just return them when you sync your account. There should be an option in Evernote that says, if the contributing client no longer has a file, delete it here as well or, keep the file here but do not sync that file back to the contributing client. Major fail here.
2) There is no way to delete folders from the Android Evernote app. You can only delete individual files which can take quite a while. Again, huge fail.
3) In the Evernote viewing panel, the thumbnails at the bottom will show the user the contents of a .pdf file; however, the viewing screen itself is blank. The only way you can view the note is to open the attached .pdf in a pdf viewer. Why the heck would they have the viewing pain if it does NOTHING? If the ca show the file contents in the thumbnail, why not the viewing pain? Mind blowing fail.
Ok, the heck with Evernote and Google Docs.
Here is the solution:

Update on S-notes to Evernote
Bumping this old thread. OK, the latest update to JB now allows converting the S-note with four options prior to sharing with evernote. Now you it will be sent as a jpg, pdf, snb (s note file), or text only. If I choose the pdf option to share with evernot it is sent as an attachment. If sent as text only it will appear in the body of the evernote as written text. This helps stream line the evernote integration, but not a real sync as with in S-notes.

I'm new to this forum, what is JB? I'm on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition and I'm trying to figure out how to view my s notes that are synced with evernote on my windows 7 computer. They are automatically synced in the s note format and I can't find a program that will let me view the s notes, other than the fuzzy preview evernote gives. If I could tell it to sync as a pdf that would be incredibly helpful.

Hi,
I think you'd get better answers here:

So I finally got the device where I wanted it yesterday. Today I notice that my available space is already down to 5gb without me putting much on the phone. After digging around, I found that there is a folder called documentsync that holds 2gb of my dropbox files and it seems to be putting more on there as I type. I think this is causing my phone to die a quick death as it was burning batteries on standby. Anyone have this problem?

I had the same problem. I can't believe that Samsung has this turned on by default. Go to settings > accounts > cloud and turn off Document Sync. This will then remove all the content from your device.
I never use Samsung 's implementation of Dropbox sync. It is poorly done and uses internal storage.
3rd party apps do a better job in folder to folder syncing with more controls over the directory location and sync schedules.

Yup, my god. After installing my apps and configuring my phone, I saw that the disk space was down to around 3GB. It made no sense, and I started cursing the pre-installed S4 software like everyone else. I removed stuff with Titanium, and even directly using a root folder browser, and I pray I didn't break anything. The next day, I finally noticed that "DocumentSync" folder and had no idea what it was, except obviously its directory structure matched my Dropbox account. I still couldn't find any info, so I simply deleted it. Somehow, I think I'm lucky that I didn't delete all my Dropbox content. After reading this thread, I check the setting and it was already turned off, so I have no idea how that happened (perhaps when I deleted that folder). Really stupid of them to background sync several gigabytes of data on you by default with no warning.
In fact, the first day after getting my phone, I got a warning that my disk space had been filled up. It completely made no sense, so I unlinked and re-linked my cloud apps, and cursed the one that's in beta that I assumed was at fault and then got all paranoid about it. All those complaints about the S4 are pretty much over minor annoyances, but this default stealth auto-sync makes it look like your phone is completely messed up. I have to say it's the phone's biggest hiccup. But even though it's easily fixed, it caused quite a bit of chaos and worry on my part, and I hope I didn't damage anything while trying to fix it.
I want to delete the folder but is it supposed to delete the files in your Dropbox account? I don't want to risk losing the files.

I would make a backup before deleting just to be sure
Probably a good idea :thumbup:

Thanks. I didn't get back to reading this forum until. I simply disconnected the dropbox account, disable sync,then reconnect my account. That had to be the dumbest default setting ever.

Yesterday I just delete this documentsync folder. DON'T DO THIS!!!! It have delete all the documents files Inside my dropbox account. Turn this option off in setting before delete anything or you will lose them.
Fortunately, the dropbox site offer a restore file option (the trash icon on top) . Whitout this, I had loose so much valuables files.
Hi guys,
my queries are similar. I really want a way to sync files from my PC with my Note 3. My required files are all documents (docx, xlsx, pdf, txt etc) I’m not looking for music video syncs. I use many important docs and excels and I want them all 100% updated on my phone all time so that I can use them anywhere.
I’m not a dropbox fan and used it very less in past but after getting note 3 I realize there have less ways to sync and store files in external memory. I wanted them all to store in external card (32gb) as many files but I doesn’t. Still internal is fine. I started use Dropbox app and tried the stock file manager dropbox option. What happened, in the initial setup it downloaded all files in internal memory DocumentSync folder but then when I started changing those files, it did not updated those over dropbox. Make sure I was editing DocumentSync folders raw files by Polaris Office, not from dropbox application or either the file manager home screen dropbox icon shortcut as both of them downloading each files before editing. As these didn’t work, like you all I remove this and disable this option.
But as I always wanted all these dropbox files locally, even when offline/no network I can update/read those files. So can anyone tell me the purpose of DocumentSync folders local files? Also any way the Samsungs optional dropbox or dropbox app can store all in external memory card? I really don’t want this to way to download each files before reading/editing (due to slower internet).
Please advice, thanks in advance!

Would this app be of use to you? You can store the files locally, then set the file to sync with your dropbox account and it be set up as a two-way sync between phone and dropbox and desktop/tablet/laptop/etc and dropbox.

I checked this apps and few similar like this before but none of them could store in external memory, so no help. But DropSync does, but problem is it stores files in external memory /Android/data/com.ttxapps.dropsync/files which is hard to navigate all time and then the free version only allows one folder to sync, no sub directories. And I’ve all documents set under separate directories. And I do not purchase apps . So didn’t found any other helpful app.
Update:
Yesterday again I linked to the My File Dropbox extinction, and play with it little bit and test few. Earlier I somehow saw it wasn’t correctly, not updating, not syncing properly etc so I removed it. But yesterday I only made Doc Sync, it downloaded all doc files and I did some test by file changes and it syncing instantly. I was changing in raw file in DocumentSync folder.
The only issue I found is if new files added and existing files deleted in dropbox its not immediately doing the same in that folder. Its taking time, and sometime long time. But if I disconnect and reconnect wifi, the changes appearing immediately, most probably this is due to as it set to sync over wifi only.
But its really great for me, as I can get all docs raw files even if no network and don’t have to download each time. But its not working very smoothly and its storing files internal memory but as my all docs are around 5mb no not a big issues. But I would love to get it in external memory. Overall this works great for me also no extra app require. But Samsung should make a way to sync all files locally.
Hi all,
I use my rooted NST most for read content I catch on Web, like blog entries, articles, etc. Currently I find the content, generate a .epub with caliber or through services like EbookGlue, upload them to my dropbox account and later, on my device, I open dropbox client, download the .epub file to the My Files directory on my SD and finally I read it.
I am looking for a way to automatic sync these dropbox files to my library, as soon as I turn on WiFi connection.
Does any one know if there's a way to do it? Or some similar aproach to do it?
Thanks in advance!

Try dropsync, it autosyncs selected dropbox folders.
Oh, thanks! I didn't knew about dropsync. I'll try it as soon as go home today and post the results!
I just keep directories on my desktop filled with books and documentation.
I sync with adbsync: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1898358
I use it on my cell phone(s) and Nook(s).
