    Has anybody noticed that when saving Video, pictures and music files that the playbook is showing a duplicate copy of the file in Android under the misc directory under movies, DCIM and music.

    I have reached the limit for file storage on a 16gb and only have 7.5gb of files stored. I cant believe that hidden system files will add up to the rest of the storage space.

    Be careful.

    As taylortbb said a bit further in the thread that borceg linked, "The individual files aren't being symlinked, the entire folders are. So shared/misc/android/Pictures is a symlink to shared/photos."

    That means that you are seeing the same files from two different places. If, for example, you delete a photo in the android/Pictures folder, then it will have been completely deleted from your PB and will no longer exist in the normal PB photo folder eiiher.
