Explore and open files


While we do not endorse or guarantee these solutions, or provide support for them, some owners have reported success using a 3rd party Android Application like Astro file manager, ES File Explorer or File Explorer HD.  You can search the Android Market for 3rd party applications that are available that will enable you to view, open and explore files from your Motorola XOOM.

Using any of the above suggested application, go to /mnt/external1 to open or view content from your microSD card.
