Google Docs Opens Up to More Files – Perfect for Petrovich & Pixelpipe on Nokia N900
Google announced on Tuesday that they are rolling out the ability to upload and store any type of file in Google Docs over the next few weeks. It’s cool that Nokia N900 users will be able to take advantage of this service directly from their device by using the Petrovich and Pixelpipe apps.
Upload files other than pics or vids with Petrovich
The Petrovich app on the N900 allows you to send a file of your choosing via Bluetooth, E-mail, or a “Sharing service”. Add Google Docs as one of your Pixelpipe pipes and you’ll be able to store any type of files on Google’s servers.
Let’s break it up in simple steps:
- Install Petrovich
- Install Pixelpipe
- Add Google Docs to Pixelpipe
- Take note of the routing tag. Default is “@gdocs”
- Open Petrovich on Nokia N900
- Select the file you want to upload and choose “Share via Service”
- Type title or description, then add the “@gdocs” tag.
- Make sure the account showing is Pixelpipe.
- Click Share.
- That’s it!
Nokia N900′s Share feature makes this possible
Google says, “you’ll have 1GB of free storage for files you don’t convert into one of the Google Docs formats (i.e. Google documents, spreadsheets, and presentations), and if you need more space, you can buy additional storage for $0.25 per GB per year.” File size limit is 250MB. This feature is not enabled for me yet, but it will be available in the next couple of weeks. Will you be using it with the Nokia N900?

Cool. Now N900 has another 1GB of storage. 32GB (built-in) + 32GB (latest memory card) + 1GB Google storage = 65GB :p Although the actual storage is about 60GB only but it's still among the highest storage capacity mobile device.

Is there any way to upload documents using a normal S60V3 (N95, E71) phone??
I can upload only vids, pics and audio files…

This is simply brilliant! I just took a picture of a document using my N900, shared it to Google Docs OCR (@gdocsocr) via Pixelpipe, and viewed it on my PC as a text document. It is like a mobile OCR service. This made my day!

Sorry if this is the wrong place to put out my question, but its concerning Pixelpipe and Share Online with Nokia s60 v5
Theres a post in this blog telling us how to use pixelpipe with flickr2twitter, one of the line says:
“tweet from your Nokia phone using Share Online”
Just How can we do that??? I search all over this blog and there arent concret instructions… Sorry if we are not as smart as you =/
Its just I cant find on pixelpipe where to insert my flickr2twitter address, I can only put it in “blog address” and when I enter my data it says “Sorry, we couldn't find an API endpoint URL for this service, if you know it, you may enter it directly.”
any thoughts???
