You can send and receive any file with any extension through the share thing. Just use FileBox - tap and hold an item with unknown extension and select share. It'll show up with a red box instead of a preview in the share page (check screenshot) but it'll still send the file.

I just tried .zip, .deb, .apk all work...

can you check if /home/user/.config/user-dirs.dirs is correct?

The screenshot I took was from a file in MyDocs/Downloads/Projects. So it does work for any file extension from anywhere.
Maybe it's a specific issue just for your N9.. because I can't think of anything that could mess with file transfer

user-dirs.dirs is in perfect condition. But I included every non-specific subfolder of MyDocs to "NOT to crawl" key of tracker-miner-fs.cfg 
Including /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads.
So this is why I can't share files from this folders. When I creating new MyDocs subfolder and trying to share random file from it - everything goes alright. But if I add it to "NOT to crawl" and update tracker database, I can't share a thing.

Is there any way to automatically register needed file extension so you can send it (via email, bluetooth, etc.) easily using, for example, File Box?
Or, maybe, other workarounds?
