Dropbox and Google Docs for Android. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So since google has abandoned QuickOffice for Google Docs and Sheets, I've removed QuickOffice and installed the latter two.
I can open excel files fine when in Dropbox app but Android doesn't recognize a application that can open my word files, .docx.
Am I missing something?
Edit: doesn't seem to be related to only Dropbox, google drive and local files as well. I can go inside the google docs app and still can't open a word file locally. Really unimpressed with Google right now
Thanks in advance!

This is one of the reasons why I haven't switched to those standalone apps. I'm still sticking with Quickoffice until Google brings .doc and .docx support to their Docs app.

Print to PDF?

I did a quick search, but no dice. Is there an app that will let me save to file as a PDF much like cutepdf writer for PC?

What are you trying to save to pdf? I know that Firefox, lets you save the current web page that you're at into a pdf file.
A web page actually. Thanks.

Here's a link to some note taking apps in the play store, some use s pen.I don't think they directly link notes to google but if you are on ICS you could "share" with Gmail if that helps at all.The default samsung memo and note apps will share also.

How to access my Google account notes

Hi
Just as the title says how can I read my Google notes in my phone?
The build in note isn't connected to Google it seems as one would expect.

Is there really no one who uses the notes from their google account?
On my iPhone it connected the build-in notes program with google notes so it downloaded my notes from google and also uploaded any new notes i made, i really miss this on my android now
If you know any way to achieve this please let me know. Thanks!
Open Gmail third icon along "manage labels", Scroll down to notes
Sorted

Thanks for the tips, was hoping there would be a way to connect the dedicated note program to the google notes but maybe this is the way to do it will test it.

Problem with this proposal is that i can not edit the notes from phone as a "note". They are handled as email using gmail android application.
So question is still open....
Or use evernote?

[Q] Google Maps verus Mock Locations

Hi guys, I recentrly tested a few apps from the market changing the location using fake gps points. All of them work perfect but the locations sent via apps ( facebook for example) they show Bing maps not Google ones. I prefer gmaps because for my country they show every single street and building. Bing hasn't done that yet. Could you please advice me what app works with google sources?

Try Google+ ?
I bet Google doesn't use Bing maps lol.
I realized. It depends on what you are viewing the location. If from an android device it shows google. If from a broswer desktop - bing.

To trick an app to giving a local option?

Isn't that still the cloud?
Did it give you an option for skydrive (hard to believe it wouldn't)? It has a very straightforward downloading option.

Another cloud.
SkyDrive is the free service offered by Microsoft to host files in the "cloud" for all owners of a Microsoft account

Well, yeah (not sure why you thought you needed to explain a service I obviously already use to me), but it's one that makes it easy to download to the phone. Drive and dropbox kind of resist straightforward downloads. Obviously not direct, but it gets you what you want...the files on the phone.
