On my Fire HD2, it lists 'Sync with Cloud Drive' as one of the ways to 'Add Docs to your library.'

I have a few books that are too large to send to Personal Documents service (limit is 50MB) and I thought I'd try the Cloud Drive option to see how that worked. I've used almost none of my storage there to date. So I uploaded one to the Documents folder, then did a Sync All Content on my Fire.

The Docs Cloud listing has a 'By Folder' option, and this shows my top-level Cloud Drive folders (Archived Music, Documents, Pictures, Videos), and I can navigate to their subfolders, but they all appear to be empty. I tried a PDF as well and it also does not show up.

The photo/video and music sync with Cloud Player seems to work.

For the Music and Photo/Video options there is extensive 'how to' detail, but all it says about Documents is is that 'Any documents added to your Cloud Drive will appear on this device'. Except that they don't.

Anybody figured this out?
