No thanks, just let me have the files.

Nothing from the App Store has that kind of root access on iOS, including the official sanctioned version of iFile. But no, congratulations, you have root access on your jailbroken iPhone and installed iFile from Cydia. I'm sure my "jailbroken" Omnia 7 can't do the same thing... oh wait.You have no idea what you are talking about. I used to like reading these forums but it's answers like these that has me commenting now.
Ifile is a full file explorer. Let's you browse EVERYTHING.
Perhaps jhguth failed to properly communicate his point. We are moving towards a future where the file system isn't user-facing, he's not talking about the fundamentals of what a file system is being dissolved. Who is we? We is grandmas using iPads. We is grandsons using iPhones. We is us using Windows Phones. We is even those using Android phones, who hardly ever jump into a file explorer. We is Surface owners, who don't have a Metro file explorer.What ? "We" is who exactly ?

exactly, thank you.Perhaps jhguth failed to properly communicate his point. We are moving towards a future where the file system isn't user-facing, he's not talking about the fundamentals of what a file system is being dissolved.

exactly, thank you.
my point was that instead of saying "i want full access to the files ystem like its 1998!" we should be saying "this current system needs to work better!" I think its still missing a lot of things, but I think navigating folders for organization is not the answer, especially so on small touchscreen devices.
a DLL could be considered a library, so they have been around since the dawn of the GUI
that doesn't excuse a lack of function and I don't know why you are committed to this idea that it does
I am with you all the way, and it would seem such a basic thing if Microsoft wants to pull millions of its customers using Office software on their desktops at the office and home into a Windows Phone environment. I rely on Office on my desktop and tablet for my small consulting business, and for years found the Blackberry with exchange server to be a more or less seamless way to do a vast amount of business while on the go. That Blackberry was a workhorse and maybe once in 5 years failed me. Perhaps the best piece of working technology I ever had. But in worrying about the future of Blackberry I went to Windows Phone...and by and large it is great, and I am fine with using Skydrive. But man, everyone I work with expects to get emails from me with attachments -- pdfs especially. And they don't want to have to go to some link in my skydrive to get it. This is such a basic, fundamental function in Office Outlook. How can you deny Windows phone users that function and expect business person using the Office suite of programs to be happy with the product? I really don't get it. Please Microsoft -- fix this.
The future is, you open the word processor and you have all those documents shown. You open photos, same thing. This is the future - no putting a bunch of files in arbitrary folders in arbitrary locations.
@Pratrap, That's great (wouldn't expect anything less)
Now how do I get the PDF that's attached to the email I've just received on my phone to that same Documents location on my phone without a laptop?
Regards
