Galaxy s4 wont open Apple numbers or pages files

[Markie2210]

Just after making the big switch from Iphone to the Samsung galaxy s4. I'm delighted with the galaxy s4. One problem I have is that i have alot of Apple iNumbers and iPages files on my dropbox and they wont open up on the Samsung galaxy s4. Is there an app i can buy that will allow for the files to open?

Try changing the extension to .zip

Thanks, how do I do that?

Instead of your file being named xxxxx.numbers change it to xxxxx.zip

You'll probably need this: How do I show or hide file extensions on a Mac?

How do you think changing the file to zip will make the readable?

It works for PCs.

If someone is sending you a file saved in Numbers or Page extensions, then ask them to save them as an excel and word file format and resend. They can do that (I had Macs for years) and the default file type is always Apple's file type.

You can do that too. But if it's too late for that, what I suggested should work. I don't have an Android to test it on.

I have a lot of files already so I will need a solution other than asking the people who send the files to covert to word from now on. Is there an app that will allow me to open the file. I tried changing the extension name to zip and it wont do it for me.

Oh ok. Try opening it in numbers and saving it as an excel file.

BarrakODrama is correct.

Get an app that allows file extention changes like OL File Manager. Change .pages to .zip, when u click it allow, it to extract.. Then inside the resulting folder will be android viewable files
