I am trying to use the default browser with Astro file manager to upload files to a website. However when I select the file a / is appended to the file name which I believe is causing the file to not upload. The same happens with an alternative file manager.
Anyone managed to upload non-image files to a website using the default browser?
I guess I will have to stick with using opera to upload files for a bit longer.
Sorry for my answer, it's maybe three way you do it, but you have to long press the file in the astro file dialog.

Thanks for replying. I just tried doing this, but still get the same result. After I submit, the page just refreshes as if I didn't select a file at all. In the file location box I get the correct path, but with a / on the end of the file name. I believe this is the error as it would cause the browser to think that the file I picked is actually a directory.
UPDATE:
Yes, it is possible! Here is how:
1. Create a html file, for example bookmark.html
2. Put this file in a folder in the internal storage, for example: \Download\bookmark.html
3. Open the browser and set the homepage to Other and fill in this:
file:///sdcard/Download/bookmark.html
4. Kill the browser process, make sure you open a fresh new web browser session.
The bookmark.html will be loaded

Hi,
Is it possible to set the browser homepage to a local html file?
I saw we can set the homepage to "Other ", but I don't know how to do it.
If this is possible, I would like to create something like shortcuts of websites in local html for quick access.

Browser doesn't appear to like local html files for some reason. I just tried to open on via root explorer but it isn't a listed option. Also as I'm sure you've already tried, trying to link via browser only just searches google for whatever you type in.

Homescreen Link
Now, were you able to put a bookmark on your home screen? I have the link set up to open my spreadsheet in my browser (thanks everyone for the directions), but when I put the link on my homepage it tries to open as a PDF rather than sending the XLSX to quickoffice? Any ideas?

I am trying to open / save a mpeg 4 video file that I converted from an avi file that I compressed into a zip file. I email the file to myself through gmail. When I click on the file I get a message that says I can't open or save this file. The same file can be opened on my desktop. I have the same issue on my phone which is also an android. I am running kitkat on the Nexus & Jellybean on my phone. Maybe I'm missing something or do I need a specific app to open the file ?

Last I recall avi files dont compress much from a zip.
Plus you would have to deal with the zip file, lets say 300mb, then extract it, to another 300mb or so.
I think you would be better off just sending the avi file as is.
All you need to do is connect your nexus as a media device through the storage settings. (Make sure USB debugging is turned off in developer options). And then drag the uncompressed version over to your nexus from your computer. No need to email it if you have a computer. Make a folder called movies (don't have to just easier). And then download mxplayer from the play store of you haven't already.

Google is forbid us to save potential harmful attachment, including zip files.
So, If you insist using email, you need to open web browser and go to gmail website, login, and download the attached file.
Your file will be downloaded as downloadfile.bin.. You need to rename using file explorer to donwloadfile.zip, and then open & extract that file.
I'm using kitkat, and this method works for me.
when i download the file through chrome or other browser it shows downloadfile.bin in mobile(it is not show original file format not shows),what should i do?pls help me
Is there any way to change the default download directory on chrome for Android? I always used boat browser on my previous phones, but so far I've only been using Chrome on my Note 4 because of the ability to easily sync browser data with my desktop. The stock browser allows changing the download location to the ext. SD, but I can't seem to make that happen with chrome. Anybody know a work around?
Yes, no, maybe?
ES file explorer download manager works great. Set it up to download your stuff, and tell it to save it to external downloads folder.
