        I agree, i cant synchronize files like pdf, png, movies, etc. The phone lost many functionality.
        Sorry about my english.

        Saludos,
        Eduardo.

        IMO this is essential and needn't compromise security. If apps need to be sandboxed, that's fine keep them that way and prevent people from browsing their content.

        All we're asking is that a *section* of the drive be opened up so that its content can be managed by the user. We should be able to create folders and store any file types within this shared section.

        This shared section could be recognised as a drive when the phone is connected to a PC to allow for USB mass storage.

        Apps should be allowed to access this shared space so that files can be loaded / retrieved.

        It is not enough to expect people to store everything on Skydrive. The internet is not always available (especially when in a foreign country).

        The phone should be able to store our personal files both in the cloud and on the device.

        This is a small thing to ask for something that would massively add to the usability.
