Dropbox StaffiOS text editor is now available!
We are happy to announce that iOS now has a text editor! You can access this feature on any text file from the toolbar in the lower left corner.
The ability to edit text is great. However, it is missing a vital component. How to CREATE a text file in the first place? I think Dropbox is the perfect place to keep notes that is accessible on any device. However, I need to be able to CREATE the text file on the iOS device first, rather than to create it on the MacOS and then edit it on iOS. Thanks.
Guest_47,
You can CREATE a new text file (and some other types too).
From the home screen, on the bottom see icons with:
Home Files Create Photos Account
Tap Create (plus sign icon)
Then select Create or Upload File
Then select file type you want (Text File)
Now you get a New Text File window
type some stuff in there (or you can paste from the clipboard too)
Tap on Next at the upper right
Tap on File Name and enter a name (whatever.txt),
Tap on Done at upper right
Choose a Save Location,
Tap Create at the upper right
Congratulations you just created a file!
This works on both iPhone and iPad in my experience.
However, the Dropbox App can not display text files in a fixed-width format which is a major shortcoming for my use.
