Unlike with PC / Mac where any access to Dropbox happens through a single set of designated Dropbox folders on an IOS device every app must use REST API to connect to dropbox and manage its own replica/synch set etc in its own sanbox folder. Just to recap, I was wondering if we could use an iPad editor + Corona Viewer on an iPad when not connected to the network. Tried my offline idea with PlainText which has direct synch but it doesn’t work. Also the subfolder issues need to be resolved so we can all bring in whatever tools / libraries we may wish to use. Suggest we wait a bit though so we can all get sorted out with the editors etc. We pick a day and anyone who wants to participate does it in any 60 minute period they choose with that day. Too bad as it looks like the best your idea is great! Its a 24 hour world. I hope I can figure out a way to do the same with Textastic.Įdit : Just read a little on Textastic site that direct sync is not yet supported. PlainText seems to open the Dropbox local copy directly on the iPad and therefore does not have an additional upload/download step.
Is there a way to open the file directly from the Dropbox on iPad with Textastic? I managed to create a local Textastic copy and upload/download but this is one additional step.
#Connect textastic to dropbox how to
If we can figure out how to do this then you might still be able to code while underground! I was hoping Dropbox on the iPad would work exactly like Dropbox on PC/Mac where you access a local copy of the material even when you are offline but alas at least Textastic does not seem to work this way.
