    move a folder of Word docs and Excel spreadsheets from my PC to my N7?

    You wrote: QO can open a file from just about anywhere on your device. Click the folder icon. It defaults to documents. Click on documents and select internal storage. Then select your file. This does not seem to be the case for my QuickOffice v 6.3.1, running on N7 (2013) under KK 4.3. When I...

    so that I can open the app from two different screen locations? How?

    move a folder of Word docs and Excel spreadsheets from my PC to my N7?

    The more I use Quick Office the more I like it -- good doc viewer, just enough editing, and good support documentation. Seems well suited to Nexus. Would benefit from an integrated file manager to open docs off-line (I guess G wants to force use of G-Drive). The work around seems easy enough...

    Who Uses "Polaris Office (for Android)" on their Nexus ?

    Thanks I've been playing with the "free" (not-the Premium version). I thought this app would provide an easy way to view and edit documents on my Nexus. Here is my source of confusion concerning file management: After I drag folders (via USB) from my PC to an N7 folder I see them in Polaris...

    Who Uses "Polaris Office (for Android)" on their Nexus ?

    I need to ask a few questions - particularly about file management. Where are file copies stored? How are edited files synced with files on SD card ? Is cloud storage a part of Polaris ? Etc

    move a folder of Word docs and Excel spreadsheets from my PC to my N7?

    Tried "Kingsoft for Android". Meets my needs -- and much more. Makes use of integrated file manager so I can copy my PC office stuff to anyplace under sd/. Good interface; lots of cool features -- and its free!

    move a folder of Word docs and Excel spreadsheets from my PC to my N7?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I'd like to read/edit my docs off-line, so accessing them from Google Drive may not be a good option. Surprised to hear that QO does not scan entire SD for docs, but only Download folder. (Some forums suggest otherwise). Given the choice, I would have liked to...

    move a folder of Word docs and Excel spreadsheets from my PC to my N7?

    I'd like to move a folder of Word docs and Excel spreadsheets from my PC to my N7 so I can add, delete, edit, view on N7 with Quickoffice (or something else?). Do I simply USB-connect N7 to my PC and copy the folder under SD? I assume that Quickoffice will look for filetypes, display titles...

    Nexus Media Importer with my Nexus 7 Can't see any files

    What are the file extensions (formats)? NMI recognizes most formats -- but not all. Check the list on NMI website.

    how many apps are running in the background on your tablet? any problems?

    I your question is "what's causing the reboot problem?" my guess is that it has something to do with Chrome. When I first got my N& I would randomly re-boot about once a week. After re-loading Chrome and several Chrome updates the problem disappeared and has not re-surfaced for many months...

    when should i plug in the charger immediately?

    I've had mine down to 5% with no problem.

    Okay to use different charger?

    For best charging you should try to duplicate the voltage/current supplied by your Nexus in-wall charger. This means you'll need to supply about 1.6A at 5V. Cell phone chargers will generally not supply this. (Take a look at charger's output specs) Result will be a much longer charge time.
