Having said that, bringing things in from the cloud is often a better way of doing it than using a cable. Dropbox and Google Drive both work very well with Android devices. I used to use a cable a lot, but now I find that I simply open the relevant file from Dropbox and a local copy is made automatically.

There's an additional, even easier way for Nexus 7:
You can connect (more or less) any USB storage directly to the Nexus' Micro-USB-connector.
In Google Play, you find a Nexus 7 specific file handler: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...aW1wb3J0ZXIiXQ..
Whether you connect any USB stick, harddrive or whatever mass storage you may have: You directly can process the files. No PC needed, only any standard USB-OTG-cable and some USB mass storage. And some files of course.
