Been looking at various threads on how to improve the memory of the Nexus 7:
Cloud storage is an excellent solution, I've been using Megacloud for a week now a can't fault it,
(8gb free storage + bonus when you download the app to yr Nexus).
But I saw a thread relating to USB OTG, and this app is exactly what I've been looking for!
No need to root and latest update includes the option to save to internal memory!
Take a look....................

I installed a couple of Office Suite from Amazon Free App of the Day on my phone. I am wondering which one is the best for the Nexus 7. I can download other free alternative if it is even better. Thanks!
List of Office Suite that I have from Amazon:
OfficeSuite Professional 6
Quickoffice Pro
Documents to Go 3.0
Or should I go to a free one?
I like quick office pro, and I think I remember them being bought up by Google docs or something like that not too long ago. I can't remember I'll have to do some searching.

Kingsoft office... And it is free

I have Office Suite Pro that I got for free.... so that's my only choice.
I used Polaris on my old transformer and I liked it. There is a really good comparison between the various office apps some where online. I think someone from the Asus transformer forums did it.
Some allow you to only read and not edit. I can't see really having to edit or create documents on the go, but I guess some people do. As long as I can open them, I'm good. Since you have access to them all, won't you simply try each one and tell us what you like better?

I have always used quickoffice pro on my 10" tablet, and I installed it on my nexus 7 and it works great. I also got those three office apps from amazon, and quickoffice pro seems to be the least buggy

CloudOn is one of the best office apps I've seen, although you need to be on wifi and have a box, dropbox or Google drive account (or all 3) as it only reads from cloud storage. They match the office ui almost exactly and have support for Excel, Word, and Power Point docs. Also it only works on tablets.

QuickOffice Pro HD is great, though you'll need to pull the APK off another device, it doesn't think it works on the N7.
Which office suite would be best for a student? I'm looking at Smart Office 2. Anyone tried it? I believe its on sale now for $1.98

Quick office HD.
Think it shows not compatible in the play store, but it works fine.
You can link it to all your cloud storage accounts.
It has really advanced features that mean you can create documents as if they have been made on the PC.
I think quick office were acquired by Google not so long ago but I might be wrong on that.

I have no idea how this is free. It's as full featured as the $15 apps. There are no ads or other bloatware.
Another vote for KingSoft, It's brilliant. I paid for it when they used to charge.

+1 for Kingsoft it really is great. Like iElvis said, I have no idea how its free but its fully featured works great!

Thanks for the king soft suggestion. It is much better than quick office pro I got for free on Amazon.

I recently tried this app as well, I love it. I don't think anyone should spend money on an office suite app since this one is available

I like king soft but its very laggy. Anyone else ?
I posted a thread exactly like this and the general consensus was Quick Office Pro HD. I got off Amazon since it doesn't show up in the Play store. It works awesome, integrates with Dropbox too.

I have king soft installed and it works perfectly, haven't experienced any issues.

Hi:
I wrote a step-by-step setup guide for the Nexus 7. I recently added a large section on Nexus Media Importer 3.03.
Hopefully, you'll find it useful:

I know that there's an app available for the Galaxy S 3 which allows USB Mass Storage Mode on the device... is there something similar which works on the Nexus 7?
Yes sure, this APP is called "Nexus Media importer"
You'll find it in play store

lots of folks use StickMount also found on Google Play
I don't think StickMount is what I'm after, that allows a user to use a USB drive via USB-OTG cable.
I wish my Seagate external hard drive would connect.

I think what he means is to connect the Nexus 7 to PC via USB as an USB mass storage, not a media player. As far as I know, it is not possible though... :/
the SGS3 Easy UMS only works for external storage card, not available on Nexus 7.
Hi, as I am not 100% satisified with the amount of storage the new nexus 7 tablet provides (lack of SD card slot),I have been trying to watch movies from a USB through an OTG adapter. How can I watch the movies or what apps do I need in order to be able to watch them?
Thanks, Stuart McD
Get an USB OTG cable and Stickmount or Nexus Media Importer. Just plug and open one of the apps. (Stickmount doesn't work for me, I don't know why)

I know this is overkill for what you are trying to do but it may interest some. I got a Western Digital 2 terabyte Live network hard drive and put all of my movies and TV shows on it. It is ethernet only so I have it plugged into my router. They have an android app that let's you access it from anywhere you have Internet. You can stream videos from it or download them. You can also upload to it from any where. It works fantastic.

Can you verify that Nexus Media Importer works for you?
I'm using Nexus Media Importer along with the MX player to watch videos on my Nexus 7. It works fine.

Do you need to download the video to the nexus 7 or can you watch it from the USB?
The videos are kept on the usb stick, no need to download to your Nexus.

Thanks a lot guys, I bought OTG disk explorer pro and it works great.
I can't seem to mount a USB Stick on my rooted tablet. Using Cabinet Beta or Solid Explorer it's not detected. However, if I use Total Commander+USB-Stick Plugin, it detects it.
I have already tried using StickMount, and still doesn't work.
EDIT: Tested it on my Moto G, and I have no problem at all.
Hi, try using Nexus Media Importer. Works like a charm for me and it has an extra plugin for total commander as well. Only downside is that it's a bit pricey, but it's imo the best working by far, looked for Free alternatives but couldnt find ones.
E: Oh, just noticed it's about literally mounting and not just opening files etc. that won't work with nexus media importer, sry!

Hi there again, found a New way via the APP stickmount. Reading NTFS works, Writing however only works with fat32(there seems to be a bypass,but this doesnt work for me). With my s2 writing also works in NTFS, and this has omnirom installed. Later on i will give it a shot and install omnirom on my nexus 7 2013.
