Dropbox + text editing = Droptext

I use DropText for web/code editing from my iPad. I created an Applescript application that watches a folder (within my Dropbox) for updated content and when it sees an update, it pushes that to my webserver. Edit in DropText, see the result on the server in about 30 seconds. Very cool.

Okay, SimpleNote vs. DropText. Which do I want for plain text capture and basic to-do lists? Go!

DropText isn't pretty but it is great for note making and having that on your desktop when you get home.

If you are after more than just text editing them check out the Memeo app. Their Beta allows you to just drag and drop files from your desktop directly to Google Docs, admittedly its only PDF files for now due to a constraint in the software (that I think is probably imposed by Google) but hopefully they clear that up soon.

We're one step closer to the fabled G-Drive with this app, simply add a short cut to your send-to folder and you can right click on files and send them to Google Docs.

GoodReader will let you edit text documents too and with style.
it would be cool if I could move files between my idisk and dropbox.
and it general - idisk should have the functionality of dropbox.
plus the ability to mark any folder on my computer hard drive as "available in idisk" - that would be something useful and apple should do that

You can't save back to Dropbox from Pages unfortunately :(

I bought Documents to Go Premium for that facility alone, it's so handy on the go especially as I use a shared "Work" folder in my dropbox with a colleague to make sure we always have the same documentation on the go.

Does anyone know if this can create new text files? Documents to Go will let you create new files but only Word, Excel and Powerpoint files - being able to create a TXT file would be handy.

Better put my link too I guess.. extra 250mb storage to use both if you use this : https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTIzMDE4Njk

Oh another useful tool for dropbox is GFI Backup Home Edition (http://www.gfi.com/backup-hm) I use it to backup stuff automatically to my dropbox over night.

Has anyone used Dropbox on the iPad with the iWorks apps yet? Since the newest Dropbox app allows you to open files that are associated with other specific apps, I'm assuming this might be possible. That being said, I don't know if you can save files back to Dropbox from the iPad. (My iPad ships this week, so eventually I'll be able to try this firsthand.)

*sigh* With the inevitable link parade for referrals popping up in these comments, I might as well throw my Dropbox referral link out there for anyone who's interested as well: https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTQ4MjUyMjM5

If you still don't have Dropbox use this link and we both get 250MB free!

Uh-oh, this whole comments section is going to be nothing but people wanting to increase their dropbox storage...

and for some extra 250 MB, follow this:
