So currently the bridge file browser only allows one to view the files on their device. I wanted to be able to pull smaller files from the SD card onto the playbook and I found a workable solution for me...
Grab a HIGHLY underrated program called Portaserver from here: PortaServer
Then on the PB, open the web browser and navigate to the IP address listed on the BB.
Granted, this only works over a wifi network, but it's still better then nothing!
