If you run an FTP server on your PC, you can use one of the FTP clients available on the Market to connect.

WP7 - Storeing documents and PDFs to HD7

Hi
Does anyone know how to store documents and PDFs to the HD7? I can create documents on the phone but not transfer anything from my old HD2.
People on other threads mentioned skydrive, but I can only find an option to load photos there.

We need Dropbox !
I think for now the only way to work with the storage of docs is via SharePoint
Ian

I was wondering how to go about doing this myself!
I little testing later and here are some options that worked:
Ahem!emailthemtoyourselfAhem! This does work and you can save the files to your phone after downloading the attachments (by default the attachments weren't download when the email was synced).
How WP7 does this is quite different to Windows desktop or Windows Mobile 6.5. Clicking on the attachment in the email will only open it; a long press does nothing. If it's a word file, there is then there is the option to 'save as' which allows you to modify the file name should you wish but only allows you to save to 'Office Hub'. Once you do this, the file is added to the second pivot list or column in the Office Hub (‘Documents’).
Note: Adding further office files such that the list will no longer fit on the screen will make the list vertically scrollable.
Skydrive and Office Live seem to be fully functional using the included WP7 IE browser. I was able to browse through my Skydrive files and folders and was even able to create and edit a new word document - all from within the browser.
Downloading an individual file takes a bit of careful finger work – just clicking on it automatically opens the file or folder but if you long press (which brings up the ‘open in new tab/share’ dialogue) and then click again in an empty part of the screen to hide the popup again, it will only highlight the file (as mousing over would do on the PC). This then allows you to select the more > download options.
The best and least pain free option for transferring files from Skydrive is to simply put everything you want on your phone in one Skydrive folder and use the ‘download folder as zip’ option. This method allows you to then open and save each individual file in the zip to the Office Hub. The limitation of this method is that the zip file doesn’t appear to be saved locally – it appears to open in the browser and only lets you open each file individually.
Note: It looks like currently there is no way to ‘save’ a pdf file on the device apart from as a downloaded email attachment. Hmm, not ideal if you like looking at large pdfs!

Each WP7 app has it's own isolated storage area. Unfortauntely, apps cannot acccess storage space belonging to other apps. The only exception here so far seems to be the Pictures storage; many apps can read and write to this.
I would expect in future OS updates we will have better access to shared storage areas (well hopefully).
The solution I've been using for now is Dropbox. I upload my PDF files there, then navigate to http://m.dropbox.com in IE. Use your WiFi of course. When you tap on a file in your dropbox it will open in Adobe Reader.
Later on, if you open Adobe Reader from the app list then you will have access to previously downloaded PDFs. Simples!

In the next software update they are going to bring skydrive into the office app.

Has there been any advancements yet?
It does seem silly that I don't have a documents folder or indeed that WP7 doesn't mirror my computer architecture.
Am uploading my PDF's to drop box, once i've accessed and opened them from my phone, am I then able to save them on to the storage card?

How the hell do I get a PDF on to my HD7?
I've tried emailing it to myself. I see it in hotmail, but every single time I attempt to download it, it fails.
I tried Dropbox. I see it in the browser, but no option to save.
I uploaded it to Skydrive, again, I see it but no option to save, only 'open in new tab' and 'share'.
This is utterly ridiculous, only MS could take a task as simple as saving a PDF to a device and turn it into a nightmare.
I'm usually quite apt with computers, this has me completely stumped though.

Are you sure the PDF file is not corrupt? Do you even have Adobe Reader installed?
Picking a random smallish PDF file:
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf
Entering that into IE on the phone downloads it, and offers the option to view it.
Having viewed it, it now appears in the Adobe Reader app. Long press on the filename gives me the option to delete it.
The same goes for skydrive (accessed through IE), and if I email the PDF file to myself.

Although the methods previously suggested might work, and they do with several limitation, I wouldn't advise them as they will either leave your files lost in the middle of hundreds of e-mails or pile your office hub in a completely unorganized fashion.
My solution is much better; simply create OneNote notebooks, organized anyway you see fit, insert your files and sync them to SkyDrive.
When you sync them with your WP phone you will have your pdf files organized and always available.
Cheers

[Q] How to transfer Ms Word or excel file from desktop to HD7

Hi. Does any body know how to transfer an ms excel file from my desktop to HD7.

Officially, I believe it's via skydrive, but I've not quite got the hang of it yet. Your best bet is probably to email it to yourself, to be honest!

I also thought skydrive would be the key, but having been into the Office App a few times I can't figure out where the files would be. All I can see is the option for Sharepoint.
Any info on viewing skydrive office files on wp7 would be appreciated.

Email is the only option at the moment, unless your company uses sharepoint. I think I read somewhere that Skydrive support was being added in a future update.
OneNote does sync very well over skydrive though.

I'm sure I read somewhere that you could get the files from skydrive.live.com via the browser on the phone, but I have no signal here to test. Anyone want to have a go?

Just tested, and actually it does work! Very well infact. Skydrive has quite a nice mobile site. You see a preview of the spreadsheet in the browser and a button to download it to edit on the phone.
I never realised you could download anything from the browser like that!

Check out the Office section page of Paul Thurrott's excellent Windows Phone 7 review:
http://www.winsupersite.com/mobile/wp7_05.asp
I'm hoping improvements will be included in the update early next year.

It would appear that you can download spreadsheets but not word docs from skydrive, still a nice feature! I have set my skdrive mobile page as a tile for ease of access

I can get word docs too. Although they do get squashed up on the phone.

is there a mobile version of the skydrive site as i get the full pledged web page and when I'm out and about might be best to get a simpler one.

Do you have your IE settings to 'desktop version'?
you should use the following:
Settings -> Applications -> Internet Explorer -> 'Mobile Version'.

SkyDrive will be integrated into the Office hub a la Sharepoint in the coming updates.

As soon as i posted i realized i had desktop version turned on, though it would be good if there was an address to go to the mobile page even with it turned on like say www.m.live.skydrive.com or something.

Don't know if I'm right but I thought files could be synced with the zune software? (dont have my win 7 phone in the us yet)
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Sky drive works but the issue with using sky drive is that when you download and save a file on you mobile phone, you cannot manage or place them into different folders. Is there any folder option for managing our documents ?

Nope. The only files Zune can sync would be its own library. Music, videos, podcasts, etc. But no files, pdfs, etc. Essentially, if you can't add it to Zune now (and Zune currently only handles media), there is no way for you to get it on the phone.
That being said, the Windows Phone 7 browser can handle downloading of files, including ZIPs, PDFs, Office documents, etc. So either e-mail yourself a file, or download it through SkyDrive (or another online storage system) through the browser.

Also, not possible at this point in time. They just show up in your Office hub as a list of files. No way to organize them... yet.

Windows Live help download Office Files to WP7

From your WP7 Internet Explorer login to windows live and download Officer Documents one by one . . .
Troublesome, but that's what I did

SkyDrive is an option. Cloud-based storage free with your Live account (hotmail, msn, live)

Hi!
Try to set you screen lock to never:
Settings -> lock & wallpaper -> Screen time-out: never
Than try again the steps described in post #9.
After finished set back screen lock time-out to original value to preserve battery power.
Regards,
Cina.

Doesn't seem to work, but thank you for the insight =] I really appreciate everyone's help but i think i've come to terms with just simply giving up.... I'm reinstalling windows 7 and XP so i might jump back up and try it once more

You can try to e-mail the files to yourself or you can try other online storage services

Never tried this method with any file larger than 50Mb but with smaller ones works like a charm

I have an HD7 that is Chevron unlocked and this does not work for me at all. I cant even enable mass storage. Can someone help me with that?

Pdf books and docs, other files solution

My apologies if had been mentioned before.
PC FILE DOWNLOAD on the market, works very well indeed. Just get it onto your phone as well as HFS on your computer and follow the set up instructions. Basically means you can connect your phone through USB and load files (other than pictures or music through Zune) off your computer. I got Adobe Reader and was finally able to load my entire PDF library. Once other format readers are available, I am sure the above tool will also be useful.
Easy to set up, few minutes and you'll be done. Enjoy!

grand merci ... thanks ...

Thanx for this. I was using windows live. This is sooo much faster and more managable. thanx!!!!!

Glad someone found it as useful as I did. I like to read books and inability to just load files on WP7 was a big handicap for me. Zune manages media files only and every other option was too cumbersome, especially if you have as many ebooks as I do.

Storage
Hi
i Like this ap
But i can't find where the files are stored
any idea?
Thanks

I just opened my Adobe Reader and all the books were there, so whatever is loaded in PDF format will be found in Documents. I guess if it's just docs in Word, you'll find them in Office. Or... you can use Explorer and check, I guess.
