LG42LN5700 and PDF Files on USB Drive

Mar 1, 2014 4:11AM PST

I just plugged my USB Thumbdrive into the USB port on my LG42LN5700 Smart TV. I can see the files that are photos but not the PDF files. I did this by going to my input list and selecting the appropriate USB number.

How do I see PDF files from on my USB Drive?

Using Google Drive vs USB drive
Mar 2, 2014 2:17AM PST

This worked ok but I had a few problems with Google Drive. The problem centered around having to use a different email address. Basically, google is my default on the internet and I could NOT enter my google email address so I had to use my other email address. Then I could not see the files on my various devices. I then "shared" my Google Drive on the Web with my google email and everything seems to be working ok.

Thanks again.
