Try downloading Airdroid from the google play store.
It makes files transfers very easy over wifi.

Good idea, i already knew it.

Airdroid is cool but there's 2 majors problem with it : 1) its pretty slow, 2)you can't upload a folder on your phone... Is there a fix for that?

I can upload folders without any problems! There are two buttons for me, "upload files" and "upload folder"

Here it worksss 100%
- Download the latest version of Samsung Kies: http://www.samsung.com
- Open the downloaded DMG
- Once you have the .Kies20mac_S8173.pkg file window with the "Uninstall.app", right click on the KIES20mac_S8173.pkg and open using "The Unarchiver" and extract to a folder (I created a KIES folder on my desktop)
- From here you will see a file called "contents.pkg", Right click and select "Show Package Contents"
- Double click "Payload", it will create a file called "Payload-2", (at least it did for me)
- double click "Payload-2" and it will create another file called "Payload-2-2"(the payload part seems to have just duplicated so you may only need to do this once. But keep opening until you see the Applications Folder)
- In "Payload-2-2" you'll find the Applications folder, within the Applications folder you'll see the "Kies.app".
- Transfer the Kies.App to the Applications folder and then run Kies.
wooohhhooowww finally it works....
i have also installed ANDROID FILE TRANSFER... and it works like charm....
100% working....

Opening stored PDF files

If I download a PDF file from the browser, it gets stored in the Download folder and I can open it with the downloads app. However if I copy a PDF file from my laptop directly to the Download folder (using MTP) the app does not see it. For music, copying to the Music folder works fine. What is the recommended method for copying files like this so they are accessible on the phone?

Have you tried using an explorer program like Astro to see if it's actually been copied to the device?
I can see and open the file with a file explorer (ES in my case) but my point is that surely it should not be necessary to use third party apps to view a PDF file? I found a thread on android central (I'd link to it but I'm too new to be trusted) that said the downloads app is an app for opening downloaded files only, i.e. presumably based on the browser history, and is not an interface to the Download folder.

That is correct. If you want to find a file in a particular folder including downloads, you'll either use to pdf app to browse for it or a file explorer to do the same. Downloads only gives you info of stuff you have downloaded through the phone.

Download files from Dropbox

I have installed Dropbox app on my phone. Every time I want to read the file, I notice it downloads on my phone and then opened it with the office app. It is too slow in certain occasion. With no internet connection area, it does not work at all. How can I download the files in my phone so I can open them immediately from the phone rather than downloading files on demand. Thanks!
Open a file then click to export it to your sd card. You can also click the down arrow beside the file name and click share. Share to sd card is an option.

Thanks for your advice.
I think this is what you need: https://www.dropbox.com/help/87/en
Had the same problem, found a useful little free app called dropsync on the play store which did the trick.
It keys tot sync files/folders from Dropbox to your device so you don't have to download the files every time, plus it keeps the directories synced (or not, if you should so choose)
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Usually. .if you download a file from Dropbox once. It is already on your phone in internal sd/ Android/data/.com.dropbox.xxx/ cache/scratch/files/
You can check it out. .
Once downloaded. .it doesn't download again. .checks cache and sees if it is there. .and opens from cache
scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
I personally use Solid Explorer (similar to windows explorer) to get into my Dropbox and just copy the file to a folder I want. Then I just open it with an app of my choice.

Could be a virus... possibly exploiting your phone via exynos exploit.
Update to 4.1.2 asap.

If you are ROOTED, in TWRP recovery go into advanced menu start up the file manger, navigate to the foder select delete you should be done.
If you not ROOTED download EFS Filemanger use this to delete the folder or file. exfat format does not support unix file attributes so you should be able to delete any file in it.
Also try this, make sure the file is completly downloaded, some times the system locks files that are not completly downloaded.
RED OR BLUE YOU CHOOSE !!!

I tried ES file explorer but this file can not be deleted.
I performed full scan by avg antivirus and no threads found.
I am not able to delete this file.
Do it with twrp as said.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Simple thing you can try first, if not works then do as above said (TWRP)
setting - Appl manager - All - Downloads - clear data ( you may find two downloads, do same with other too)
then try deleting file from download folder as you did it earlier.
With root explorer go to the path and delete the files you want
thank you

Another option would be to utilize Touchdown instead of the stock Exchange account. This does two things - the pin requirement is now when you launch the touchdown app and not the lockscreen. The second thing is that it still meets your organization's security requirements, so you will not show up on their radar. Essentially it just locks the exchange content and not your personal content.
Working for me so far anyway, so thought I'd pass along as a second option if you can't disable the pin reqt for Exchange.
OK I got it working by doing the following:
You must be rooted.
Download this to the tablet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749921
DOWNLOAD (Android 4.3.x):
ExchangeNoPIN-4.3.x.zip (v4.0)
Use something like Es File explorer
Click on tools on the side
Click on root explorer
Select mount R/W
Select r/w for system
Navigate to \System\App
Rename EmailGoogle.apk to EmailGoogle.apk.bak and Email2Exchange.apk to Email2Exchange.apk.bak
Next unzip the file downloaded
Rename the two apks in the file from Email.apk to EmailGoogle.apk and Exchange2.apk to Exchange2Google.apk
Move both files to \System\app
Reboot
Profit!!

Nice, thanks!!
I will say a word of caution, for folks that did this on Galaxy S3 AOSP roms, their email eventually stopped working. I'm not sure if this is similar or not, but keep an eye on it if you choose to try this.
That being said, I'll probably try this.

You need to run a file explorer app such as ES File Explorer that gives you the option to show hidden files. Then they can be located in /sdcard/.samsungvideohub/contents/
They are encrypted and unplayable by any software other than the Samsung video app to my knowledge.

Also the stock browser can do this: menu - settings - show hidden file.
