[snip] This question would be better-posted to an Android forum, such as androidcentral.com, androidtablets.net or androidforums.com, IMO. That being said: I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. I've transferred files between my three Android devices and my computers in each of the following ways: USB connection. Tablet or phone looks to the computer like a USB file system. You may have to go into Settings (on my Samsung tablet it's Settings -> Storage -> USB computer connection) to set the connection type. (I'm not running Samsung's broken Android implementation, anymore, either.) MicroSD card. 8GB microSD cards are both as cheap and as common as dirt. SMB (aka: Microsoft Windows file sharing), using ES File Explorer on the Android device, with the directory on the computer side shared to the LAN. Via DropBox. Copy/move the file(2) to/from DropBox on one device, and the same on another. On the computer side you can use a web interface or DropBox' software. I also once used VXConnectBot's built-in file transfer capability, when I was logged-in to a machine at work from my tablet. (VXConnectBot is an SSH application for Android). Btw: Android devices don't "sync" with a PC or other device like, for example, PalmOS devices used to. (And more's the shame, IMO.) You can get a connection, and manually shuffle files back and forth, but there's no "syncing," per se. I believe there are some apps that have syncing ability, but not the entire device.
