iOS office and Dropbox

**Ratatapa** · 2013-01-12 21:40

Looking for a good office app ( word excel PowerPoint) on iOS that has Dropbox integration

1) iWork doesn't have it seems a bit annoying to make it work
2) tried cloudon but lags like crazy
3) documents to go is kinda limited

Thanks for the options

Integration? Why don't you just save your files to Dropbox? Once you save them, it'll sync.

Have you tried the integrated office 365 webapp thing inside hotmail/msn/skydrive? Has word, powerpoint, excel, and onenote, and they damn near match the desktop versions as well as save to your skydrive (their dropbox-like solution; it's part of any hotmail or msn account for free). Pretty nice to work on school assignments; don't need a flash drive then.

It's not a complete solution though since you'll have to redownload and then save to your dropbox folder, but you could probably use the webapp through an iOS browser at least.

Cuz you cannot save from iWork iOS to dropbox directly

You need to send you the file by email then open in Dropbox to save it there

Until Office hits iOS/Android (supposed to be out sometime this year), I just use Google Drive. Google Docs works fine for anything i'm doing on mobile (and you could easily write a paper in it or whatever), and sync the rest of my files in there as well.

The reason I want Dropbox is because I have everything there

Don't want to transfers all to google drive ( a bit of laziness I guess)

I do mostly use my iPad and MacBook Air so guess I could use documents in the cloud
