The File Browser in OfficeSuite

When you start the program, the OfficeSuite File Browser will open. The File Browser gives you access to the most used document folders. You are also able to browse all your local files and remote ones in your Google Docs, DropBox and Box accounts. On Android 3.0 or higher tablets, the file browser provides a two pane interface.

Managing Files and Folders

The File Browser is organized in several useful shortcuts giving quick access to local files, remotely stored files or to dedicated document folders:

Recent files - a folder with the last used files.
My documents - the default document folder on you device. Initially you will be able to select it.
Local files - you can browse all local files on memory cards.
Remote files - access to your Google Docs, DropBox or Box.net account.

The File Browser provides basic operations to help you manage your files and folders. A long tap on a file from the file list will open the File Options menu.

To rename a file, choose Rename and enter the new name in the text box that appears.
To delete a file, choose Delete.
To view the properties of a file, choose the corresponding item from the menu and you will be able to see the file Name, Type, File Size, Path to the file, and Date modified.

The same options apply for folders. Note that only empty folders can be deleted.

Sorting Files

To sort files, select Sort from OfficeSuite toolbar. Choose the criteria by which you want to sort the files:

Name
Type
Size
Date modified

Finding Files

To find a file or folder, select Menu > Find or the corresponding toolbar icon. Type in the file name, part of the name or even just the file extension.

Sharing Documents

OfficeSuite allows you to share your documents directly from the file browser by sending them to an email recipient, to another device via Bluetooth, or by uploading them to an existing Google Docs, DropBox or Box account.

To send a file via email or Bluetooth, tap and hold on the file until the File options menu appears and choose Send file. You will be offered the option to select either email client to be used or Bluetooth. The file will be sent as an attachment to a new email in the program that you have selected to use.
You can compress a file before sending it so you reduce its size. To do so, select Zip & Send file in the File options menu that appears when you tap and hold on a file.
If you have an existing Google Docs, DropBox or Box.net account that has been added to OfficeSuite, you will also be able to Upload files to this account, using the File options context menu.

OfficeSuite allows you to look up the meanings of selected words in text documents in a dictionary or reference book. More than one dictionary can be installed.
