Re: Getting a document off my iPhone and on to my laptop

[Kimber Gardner]

I use Word for iOS, but that's mainly because I want to be able to
work on documents both on my phone and my laptop. Also, if you create
a document on the phone, you do have the option of saving it on the
phone after which you can send it to the cloud. I suppose this is for
occasions when you might not have a data connection.

Word for iOS is surprisingly feature-rich, though I can't speak to how
easy all these features are to use with VO. But for basic document
creation, I find Word quite usable on the phone.

I use Pages over Word but that's because like you I do not produce any 
professional looking documents. In fact, I mostly produce shopping lists with 
this app.

As far as I know the Word app is more accessible than Pages for Voiceover users.

RE: Getting a document off my iPhone and on to my laptop

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Yes, if you want to create documents on your phone you would need Word which as 
an Office 365 subscriber you have access to and all its features. I rarely use 
Word even on the PC since my work requires daily use of Excel, but I don't use 
either on my iPhone since I find it is just too inefficient to create and work 
with documents on my phone. Everybody says the PC is declining, but if you look 
at CES this year there are PC's and laptops everywhere and as much as Apple and 
some other outfits may want people to think an iPhone, iPad or other tablet is 
a PC replacement I think that in an office environment where you work at a desk 
a desktop computer is still the way to go and it will be for some time to come. 
If any tablet is a computer replacement it's a Microsoft Surface and not an 
iPad. I think Apple is once again missing the boat by sticking to iOS on the 
iPad and by not introducing touchscreens to their still expensive line of Mac 
computers. I would say the reception this new touchbar received is luke warm at 
best and right now Microsoft is steeling Apple's Thunder so to speak when it 
comes to high-end desktop and laptop computers. Just read the reviews of the 
new Microsoft Stuido desktop and their Surface laptops.

Anyhow, back to your question, I very much assume that if you use one of the 
iOS apps like Word or Excel that anything you create will be saved in OneDrive 
and on an iPhone this means it will be saved to the cloud and should instantly 
be available on your computer if OneDrive is set up there.

Regards,
Sieghard

RE: Getting a document off my iPhone and on to my laptop

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Yes, anything you change on either device will sync up to the cloud and back to 
any other device. Actually, on your phone you are accessing the cloud version 
unless you Favorite the document in which case a local copy is downloaded to 
your phone. If you don't do this you need a data connection (WiFi or 3G/LTE) 
for the document to be available.

Regards,
Sieghard

Hi Sieghard,

Thanks for the tips. I have the document on my laptop now. Here's another 
novice question. When I make changes to the document on the laptop (with the 
doc still in the One Drive folder), will the changes automatically appear on my 
phone the next time I access it there?

Re: Getting a document off my iPhone and on to my laptop

[TaraPrakash]

What if that document is a book in Read2go app. I am not sure if that can be 
done, as in move from iphone to computer.
I actually have some videos on an old ipod. Is it possible to move them to 
computer from where I can send them to other devices?

Thanks for any suggestion.

RE: Getting a document off my iPhone and on to my laptop

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Kimber,

Do you not have OneDrive set up on your laptop? Anything in OneDrive should 
automatically download to your OneDrive folder on your laptop.
I actually have reassigned my Documents, Music and Pictures folders to be in my 
c:\users\sieghard\OneDrive folder since I have multiple computers and want all 
my documents, music and pictures to be on all of them. This way anything I save 
into my Documents folder or one of the subfolders there will upload to OneDrive 
and consequently download to any other computer where I have my OneDrive set up.

Anyhow, as for emailing, you can do this in one of two ways:

1. Go to your OneDrive app, find the file and use the Share feature, the native 
Mail app should be listed and when selected it should open with the file 
attached.

2. Start a new message to yourself in the Mail app on your phone, then when you 
are in the message body, turn the rotor once counter-clockwise and you should 
be on Edit. Now flick up or down with one finger until you get to "Add 
attachment". Double tap and you can select your OneDrive, find the file and 
attach it.


Best regards,
Sieghard

Subject: Getting a document off my iPhone and on to my laptop

Hi All,

This feels like a question that should have an easy answer, but if it does, I 
can't figure it out.

I created a document in Word on my phone and I have copies both on the device 
and saved to Microsoft One Drive. I thought I could email the document to 
myself and open it on my laptop for further revising, but when I tap the 
"share" button, I get the message that I should "get outlook" to send the 
attachment. I don't want Outlook on the phone because I am happy with the 
native mail app. But I don't see another way to get the document over to my 
laptop.

The second part of the question, if there is a way of accessing the OneDrive 
copy on the laptop, I don't know how to do that either. So can someone help me 
out? This really should be more intuitive, which explains why I cannot yet use 
my iOS devices for serious writing.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Kimber
