PDF not showing in Google Docs

Pajamaman · 10-03-2025, 11:39 AM

I uploaded a PDF to google docs. I can see it on my PC and phone. But on my Onyx Note 5, it does not show. I have looked via the app, and also via a web interface. I also created a standard google doc, and the Onyx can see that.
Anyone have any ideas?

Also, if there is a better way to transfers files to the Onyx wirelessly, I am open to that.

What browser are you using?
Some of the Intent and MIME can be affected by the browser.

You can run ADB over WiFi.
Temporary (until reset):

Code:

setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555

Permanent:

Code:

setprop persist.adb.tcp.port 5555

I tried with the Onyx Send utility but it seems difficult to set up. I tried via the browser. I was unable to drag files into it. I installed the PC app. It demands a cell #. I don't trust Onyx and don't wish to give them personal data like a phone #.

At this rate, I'll just have to resort to a cable.

Thanks for your input. But I'm looking for a user friendly method, like google docs for example, to transfer files. I don't want to delve into ADB to simply transfer files. I'll probably have to resort to a cable.

If you're running Windows on your desktop/laptop you can use my AdbSync.exe over WiFi to sync directories.
You can write a small batch file to sync all sorts of directories in either direction.
I use it with wired ADB over USB. One command and my ereader or my phone is synced.
