Dropbox on PB

I loaded Dropbox this afternoon and it doesn't work really well on PB and just wondering if anyone else has noticed. I have the following issues:

1) New MSFT Files with .xlsx, .docx and .pptx won't launch from Dropbox. I found a workaround to rename the files to remove the last x from the extension but then that causes issues on my desktop.
2) Files do not get sync'd properly back to dropbox sometime in that I have seen they either add a (1) to the end of the filename instead or just don't sync at all.

I am finding Files & Folders is much more reliable though somewhat manual.

try box there giving 50 gig free in appstore not sure if will last not tested there app but you could look into that

box -50gb just for downloading on playbook, cant go wrong with more space, bluebox both work for me, use dropbox webapp?

While I haven't had a good play with the Android Dropbox app in terms of syncing and opening documents, I'm a bit stumped as to where images downloaded end up on the PB. I got a nice little notification in the corner telling me Dropbox was downloading but then I can't find the file in my media folder anywhere. Any help?

someone else reported dropbox not working on PB yesterday, so it's not just you.

OK. I think I tried Box a while back and wasn't big on it. I think it was because they don't have an app for BlackBerry phones which I also need.

Like I said before, I use Files & Folders on my PB and it is OK. It's worth the $3. It syncs with several cloud storage types and just downloads the files into a folder on your PB which you can find. It also lets you browse the PB file system. It takes a little more work to copy the edited files back to Dropbox but is reliable.

Yes, dropbox is a free app in app world.

Just use dropbox.com with your PlayBook browser it works great.
Or use the dropbox android app

I use the free app BlueBox which integrates with Dropbox and gives me all my Dropbox files.
