The very popular Files & Folders app for the PlayBook. It includes some whopping new improvements and enhancements but one really sticks out. It now allows you to stream many video and audio files from the cloud and works with all their cloud services!!!
Check out the full feature improvement list for v6.0 here:
- NEW! Built-in streaming media player:
- Streams many video & audio files from the cloud!

- All your cloud services;
- Your starred folders;
- Recently visited folders;
- Folders above the current folder.
Of course you can still swipe down to access your cloud services & starred folders too. - NEW! You can now hide cloud services that you do not use in the Setting screen.
- ENHANCED! Many Dropbox changes:
- This version uses a new way to talk to Dropbox. The old mechanism will be discontinued by Dropbox soon.
- As part of the new mechanism, we no longer ask for your Dropbox login details, but simply direct you to the Dropbox website to login and authorize access.
- Maximum number of files per folder in Dropbox increased from 1000 to 25000.
- ENHANCED! Improved thumbnail view:

- FIXED! Could not create new folders in the Google Drive "My Drive" root.
- FIXED! You can still store your doc, xls, ppt files on Google Drive, but Google has removed the ability to convert Google Docs files to Office 2003 formats (doc, xls, ppt). Itcan still convert to the new Office 2007 formats (docx, xlsx, pptx), and it can still convertfrom the old formats. Files & Folders has been updated accordingly and now defaults to the Office 2007 formats for converting Google Docs files. Please note that this was a decision by Google, not by us.
- FIXED! Multi-select copy of folders from the cloud would sometimes create an incorrect folder structure.
- Many other minor fixes and performance improvements.
