Open attachments in WhatsApp natively - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
Is there a way to view doc, xls, ppt files inside Whatsapp without any other specific apps installed?
If not, would installing Google Drive do the trick?
If still not, do you suggest any ad-free, light docs viewer?
Thanks in advance.
PS: running Android 11 on S20.

[Q] Smart PDF reader

Hello All,
Does anybody know if some PDF Reader able to use URL/links inside documents exist?
With any reader for computer, user can navigate to different files (or different part of a file) from any link inside a document. Is this something possible on Android ?
Thanks,
Lim.
No answers at all?
Is it because nobody knows such a reader or is it because experts would say it does not exist?

SuperNote App and Uploading notes

Upgraded to HC 3.2.1. No complaints. Like the new Supernote app. Just wondering why it and all the other note apps in the market have an upload option to dropbox, google docs, sugarsync, etc, but when you try to upload it says that feature is not working yet (or something similar). I've tried all of the tablet note apps and they all give you the same message, uploading ability, but won't work yet. Supernotes is the same way. What's up with this? Must be something in Android that isn't yet available. All the developers have put the feature in their app, but waiting on the technology to catch up to implement. Frustrating cause I love the Supernote app, but really need to upload to take advantage of cloud storage. My workaround is to use QuickOffice HD which handles uploads to Dropbox, Sugarsync, and Google Docs. Works great, but is more for documents and not notes.
That's strange.
I've never had a problem with any of the note taking apps saving to dropbox.
I just did a supernote test and a paint note and a regular note uploaded to drop box just fine.
might be a dumb quest but do you have qdocs app on your tab? Others have had this prob but also did not know you needed to have the app on the tab for the upload to work.
Are you referring to Google docs?
I don't know what qdocs is....I don't have that loaded on the TF.
No problems sending Supernotes to Dropbox here. Sends it as a JPG. Sends to Google Docs just fine too.
Would be nice to have background web sync of supernotes, but the Android based Sharing is great for the moment.
This app is a real product differentiator... I hope Asus have some more planned.

I think what he means is, do you have the apps for evernote, dropbox etc installed on the tablet, as the share to function wont work unless you have the apps for the options installed.
Regarding Supernotes: I tested again. What I find is you can upload a .jpg file but not a text file. It says that the text upload feature is not available yet. Such as, save the note as a .docx file and try to upload. It will not work. So, if you got text document files to upload, then what am I doing wrong??
I need text file upload for work stuff. .jpg does me no good in sharing work file notes between computers. I use the TF to take notes in many work related meetings. The text format is most needed for mobility.
Yes, I have Dropbox, Sugarsync, Google Docs, etc. loaded on my TF. I have yet to find any note app that will upload a text based note to any of these formats. Am I missing something? Also, what is "qdocs"? I can't find that app on the market.
Thanks.
sorry for the confusion...yes i meant Google docs
I can upload as text file tho on mine....Google docs.
EDIT..my bad that was a doc I only used keyboard on in supernote and it was evernote which it uploaded as a txt to.
Thanks for clarifying.
I only use drop box... no google docs.

Access Group documents in SkyDrive

Hi everyone,
Yesterday I received a new Lumia 800 (great phone btw ) and everything works fine. However I was wondering, whether its possible to access documents stored in a live group through the SkyDrive App/Office App.

Group documents? I don't exactly know what you mean, but if you're referring to documents that are shared with you, they should just show up in your office hub (and of course in the skydrive app as well).
Thanks for your answer. I'm not referring to document that are shared with me. If you visit http://groups.live.com you can create a Group on the Windows Live Network with various people. This group can have its own mailinglist, a calender and has an "own" SkyDrive as well, where every group member can upload and edit files. I was reffering to the documents stored on this "group-SkyDrive". These docs wont show up in the "Shared With Me"-Section :-/

Ah, okay. I see what you mean. I think it doesn't show up because it's - just like you said - a standalone part of skydrive which is not connected to your personal skydrive. I'm afraid there's currently no way to make it show up somewhere in your personal skydrive. But it sure would be good to suggest it as a feature request.
I just checked back with the SkyDrive Team on twitter, and the confirmed that this feature is currently not implemented. But let's see. Maybe this will be implemented with an future update.

Thanks for the heads up on this.
I might be wrong on this one but I think you have to use that Microsoft 365 live service for this.
This is easy, just open SkyDrive with IE and navigate to your group documents. If you open them, they will show in Office (if you open a OneNote document for instance, you can then syncronize it like your regular SkyDrive documents)
This dosn't work. The documents on the group skydrive are saved localy on the phone after editing (or on my personal skydrive)

[Q] Handwritten Note app w/ PC Viewer

It would be the killer app for me if it exists... that is the app that has all three components here:
1) Handwritten notes w/ notebooks and/or page tagging
2) Support for S-Pen and ability to use an S-Pen only input mode.
3) Sync to PC (or use dropbox/Evernote to sync) and be able to view notes on the PC. I want to not have to export my notes but just keep notebooks in sync so that when I'm done writing on the tablet the notes on the PC are updated and get updated everytime I make changes instead of having to export to PDF or another format.
I'm not sure if any of you have used Livescribe paper/pens/software but if they could reproduce that kind of functionality with OTA syncing that would be incredible! Still occasionally use my Livescribe pen but would rather than be fully using my Note 10.1 for everything.
Anyone know of something that does it all? I've used Quill, LectureNotes, S-Notes and others but still haven't found something that can do all three. Any ideas or suggestions?

I use Quill and it syncs with Evernote.

So you can make edits in Quill, they are automatically updated to Evernote and you can view those files on your PC?
I see an export option in Quill but not a sync option but maybe I'm missing something.
When you find the trifecta, please let me know. My current system is using LectureNotes and syncing to Dropbox. I am also manually exporting to pdf and saving in OneNote to keep it up to date in case MS blows everything away with a fully functional android app.

So I've been using LectureNotes which works in the following instance.
1) Install a sync program, I use Dropsync, to sync local folders on a schedule or automatically with Dropbox and setup a folder for sync with Dropbox.
2) Setup LectureNotes to use this folder (or just setup Dropsync to point to the LectureNotes folder)
3) Notebooks create folders in that folder. Each page for the notebook is a PNG file. If you use single layer notes then you can obviously view this file elsewhere. Notes with more than one layer use multiple files so obviously that can complicate things.
I like to use lecture notes to take a "scanned" image of a handout and put it on one layer and then write text on top on another layer so this doesn't work for that but it does work for simple notes. I can't view the PNG files on the tablet for some reason but have no problem opening them on my PC.

[Q] cannot attach pdf from Google drive to gmail on nexus 5?

I can easily attach a PDF to a draft gmail from drive using my galaxy nexus on 4.3 android. I can no longer do this since upgrading to the nexus 5?
I click attach in gmail, browse to drive, but my PDFs are now all greyed out on this new phone. Only images allowed. I really need this functionality. Any help very much appreciated. Thanks.

I have the same issue. You can't attach any thing other than images from a cloud service like Google drive using the Gmail app. Attaching local files that are on the phone works. This new integration with Drive has broken this.
Thanks for replying Kayno. I wasn't sure if it was just me doing something wrong.
A workaround is to open the PDF using drive and then save it to the phone, them use a file manager to attach it.
It was much easier to attach direct from drive though. Hopefully the app developers are on it.

Hope they fix it as I do like the new file picker integrated within gmail but that's no good if we cant attach any files other than images and videos.
Another work around is to attach your drive account to a file manager like Solid Explorer which works very well with all cloud accounts like Box, drive and dropbox. Save your file from there to your phone and then share it as a gmail attachment. I know this is also not ideal
