1. Opening a file from a Cloud Account in Docs To Go:

Once the cloud account is set up, you can see the folders and files that are in that account when you tap on the account name.

To open a folder, tap on it. You will then see the files that are stored in that folder.

To open a file, tap on it. The file will be downloaded from the server and then opened in Docs To Go.

2. Removing a Cloud Account from Docs To Go:

If you no longer want Docs To Go to sync with one of your Cloud accounts, you can remove the account by going into Settings and then tapping on the cloud account name. Simply tap “Delete Account” in that setting.

3. Deleting Items

When deleting files, the actual documents in cloud files are not deleted, just removed from Documents To Go.

  • To delete a document, swipe the filename from left to right to reveal a “Remove” button to remove individual files (Note that the file must be downloaded and not grayed out in order to delete the file).
  • To delete multiple files at once, tap on the “More” option in the bottom right corner of the screen and choose the Select option.  In the file list, tap the files you wish to delete.  Once they have been selected, tap on the trash can icon in the bottom left of the screen, or select Done if you do not wish to delete multiple files.
  • Documents may also be deleted from the cache – Go to Settings, tap on a cloud account and tap on “Clear Cache.”  You will notice that the files in this cloud account will now be grayed out.

4. Native and Translated Documents

Documents To Go can edit both native (the format of files when they are saved in Microsoft Office) or the translated version of a document. (Some cloud services have their own translated format). Not all features in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint are supported by the translated formats; as a result of this limitation, files uploaded from DocsToGo to the cloud may lose some formatting in the conversion to the cloud format.

5. Shared Documents

Documents which have been shared with other users in online services are read-only, and cannot be directly edited and synchronized back to your cloud.  In order to edit a shared document, you must first save the document to a new filename. The newly named file may then be edited and synced to your online account.
