You can at least upload and download files to them via a web page, and perhaps even connect directly to them via file sharing. I have not tested any of these options though. My N7 is rooted and uses USB flash memory sticks now.

The primary reason I want a 7" tablet is to watch videos while on vacation in locations that don't have wifi. For that, I need expandable storage. Rooting and/or using extra accessories is not something I wish to do.
I'm not adverse to using the cloud. I do it at home all the time. Unfortunately, where I vacation, the cloud is something that produces rain.
