Using Files

The Files application enables you to easily open, view, and move among the files and folders on
your device's drive or on an expansion card inserted into your device's expansion slot.
You can also create new folders in Files, or move existing folders into other folders, to keep your
information organized the way you want.
To open Files, press the Files button
it. When a folder is open, select the folder name (displayed at the top of the files list) to move up
one level of folders.
NOTE Files contains five folders that always appear at the top of the folder list: Applications,
Documents, Music, Photos & Videos, and VersaMail Attachments. Place your applications and files
in the correct folder so that you can easily locate them.

Opening files and folders from within an application

In certain applications—for example, Documents, Media, and Pocket Tunes™—you can open a file
or folder directly from within the application. The application automatically displays files located
in the appropriate folder on your device's drive—for example, the Music folder for Pocket Tunes—
but you can browse for files located elsewhere on the drive. See the application chapters for
information on opening files.
