- Sending documents and files trough email is a pain for me because the mail app is quite weak and it lacks a few importing features.
After a couple of months using my playbook (that i love) i'm still trying to find a suitable workflow for my documents and files
@twdawson: i find the lack of news from evernote about their playbook app quite disturbing and a disrespect to their users.05-08-12 04:42 PMLike 0 - I use the android sugarsync app. It works amazing on the PB.
It syncs folders, gives me full access to files on sugarsync. The app registers the PB just like any other computer.
I don't have the bar file handy now, but you can find it around.
Try it--best solution so far. I also use files and folders like others--but the sugarsync app syncs folders.05-09-12 07:06 AMLike 0 -

- Using box.com for sharing at work and Google + Skydrive for backups. Files & Folders is a great app. Sometimes the box app doesn't show any progress when uploading, the web-page seems better in such situations.
For Google & Skydrive I have the pages added to home-screen, works out fine, as long as you fix it to usethe desktop version.
Box.com 50GB+50GB (one account on box app, second on Files&Folders)
Google Drive 5GB
Skydrive default 7GB upgraded to 25GB (for free)
DropBox 2.9GB05-09-12 01:32 PMLike 0 - A full sync app is one of my biggest gripes with the playbook, it would not be so bad if you can access and edit documents in the browser but that just does not work at all with all the screwed up text entry. Both google docs and skydrive have this problem.
I was a big evernote user and even that app has the same problem and i refuse to sideload the android app,which i have heard does work. Because i never ever got any reply to any of my support ticket requests i have canceled my premium account.
My daily usage for document stuff now is dropbox but i just have to remember to sync the files i have changed before i go out of wifi range.
I would pay good money for an app that would just auto sync google docs or skydrive.05-09-12 08:21 PMLike 0 - Have you folks used Otixo - it links all your cloub storage into one location - I love it.
Otixo: Use all your cloud-based files from a single login

Does anybody know how to access WD2GO (for my Western Digital My Book Live) over a PlayBook - still can't access my personal cloud from my PB (eg my NAS connected to the internet)?
Also Evernote (very useful) - I suppose this is a Cloud Service as well - though I just keep lists in it, not folders full of documents....Last edited by BigAl_BB9900; 02-17-13 at 07:46 AM. Reason: typo

I can't get it to work via the browser.... and have never found an Android-port for it. None of the queries I can find on the WD Forum have had answers with a solution
Some users have apparently managed to get this to work via their PCs (I think they were connected to a PC at the time via SplashTop or something similar) - unfortunately that negates my needs! (eg I want to be able to access my Personal NAS when I am away from the office, and when my office PCs will be powered off)
I am very disappointed with Western Digital re: this, as their iPad WD2GO app is excellent
If anybody knows a solution , please let me know!
(At the moment, I have to have a laptop with me so I can search&download files from my Personal Cloud on my NAS, and then I can transfer from the laptop to my PB - for frequently used files I use SugarSync et al - but I have more than 1Tb historical collateral that I would like remote access to...)
Thanks in advance to the CB community
Alex02-17-13 08:26 AMLike 0 - I use Asus WebStorage. It is not as versatile on Playbook as on a Windows machine. Any change on Windows machine is synced immediately. A change on Playbook is made on the local file but must be uploaded to cloud. After the upload, the original file is deleted and the altered file is renamed to the original name. Why do I use WebStorage? I can include the WebStorage file in Ubuntu One on my Ubuntu netbook and the file is synced to Playbook, Ubuntu, and Windows machines. Google Drive works as well.02-17-13 09:10 AMLike 0
