Have you added \"Documents > Hobbies & Tools > Photo\" folder to Selective Sync in Dropbox? doing that will not change the location of files. You don't need to move the file
\nThat's not accurate, at all.
\n\n
Selective Sync isn't used to add folders outside of Dropbox to your Dropbox folder. Dropbox is not capable of that, and will only sync the items that are located IN the Dropbox folder. The idea is that you move your files into the Dropbox folder and work on them directly there. If you must have access to the file in it's original location, then move it to Dropbox and place a shortcut to it in the original location. Remember, Dropbox is just a folder on your computer like any other. Items in your local Dropbox are still on your computer.
\n\n
For clarity, Selective Sync is used to remove a folder from your local Dropbox folder, while leaving it in your account online. You would then use the Dropbox website or mobile apps to access it.

\nDropbox has the ability to edit and create .TXT files on an iPhone, no other app needed.
\n\n
When you open a text file in Dropbox, you'll have an Edit icon in the bottom right corner. Tap that to start editing. To create a new text file, tap the plus + sign at the bottom of the screen.

Thanks, that sounds simple, I shall try it before looking for any other app solutions.
