This actually happened to me earlier in the day yesterday before the firmware update. And it's still happening-- I just checked. The site loaded normally for me on the second of four tries, but the other three ended exactly as the original poster described. Not sure it has anything to do...

Is that why I'm seeing an unfamiliar icon at the upper left of my screen? It looks like a partial outline of a rectangle with a swoopy green arrow coming up from the lower right corner.

I've only had my Note for a couple of weeks, but I'm already a pretty dedicated S pen user. Either its drawing capability or its handwriting recognition with S note would make the Note worth the price difference over my husband's Nexus 7, and the two together are a matched set of killer apps...

That'd be it. I figured it was something like that. Luckily, all you have to do when renaming is type your filename right over "myfile"-- Dropbox takes care of the file extension for you and seems to get it right every time. Good for it, that's what I say. Thanks again, seriously. (I'm on...

Problem solved. I was not saving the files correctly--a quirk in the way I was renaming them for Dropbox resulted in an extra space between the "dot" and the "t" in .txt. And that's a file extension *nobody* can read. I'm not entirely sure what exactly I was doing wrong, but I've figured...

Yes, I'm definitely going to set up that Google Drive next chance I get. I am intrigued by the thought that there is something going on with my settings-- it's just that kind of weird problem. But I'm stuck trying to find out the right settings menu-- my main Settings menu, under the blue...

With Google Drive or with Dropbox? If it's a matter of setting up a Google Drive to get this to work, I'm perfectly willing to do so-- I just figured I would use Dropbox if I could, since I am already familiar with it.

This is extremely frustrating. I set up Polaris Office to play nicely with Dropbox, but when I tried to open my .txt sample , saved from S note as a .txt using "share via", it told me "this file format is not supported". Seriously, what is going on, here? Polaris can successfully open a...

Thanks. He didn't get an email-- we're going to work on it using advice from the other thread.

Thank you very much for the advice. I don't have a Google Drive yet, since this is my first Android device, but I'm not opposed to the idea. But if the cloud is the answer, then there's no reason why I can't use my Dropbox instead, right? Just one more question and I think we can declare...

But *how* do I open a saved .txt S Note with Polaris Office? Is that even possible? I can use Polaris' Browser feature to find the note I am looking for, but when I click on it all it does is open it in S Note. I need to get the text out of the note and into a blank Polaris document so I can...

This is sort of related to my other question about word processing in general, but now I have a specific issue involving .txt files to ask about. This is an outline of what I have learned so far: S Note can save my notes including ones made using handwriting recognition, using "share via"...

Does anybody have any experience with Textmaker Mobile? It's available separately from the rest of the suite for only $5 and on paper it should do what I need. I don't actually plan to use it as a word processor, just to move things from one file format to another. Another option would be to...

Well, it's not cheap, but if it works ... Makes me wish I had my $25 credit, but I guess I got my Note 8.0 too late. Thank you very much. I'd still be interested to find out if I had another, simpler option than downloading a whole new set of office software, but at least I know I have a way...

I thought I was really going to like Polaris Office as I found it pre installed on my new Note 8.0. And I did like it, until I went to save something for the first time. My choices were .doc. And .docx. And that's it. I'm a cartoonist and a blogger and a columnist-- I do a *lot* of writing...
