I just learned this week that the drive box app will let you open with AndTidWiki directly (without having to download first to the AndTidWiki sub-directory, nor having to copy back to DB directory). I was surprised when trying the same thing on Google Drive that it didn't work (AndTidWiki was not offered as an app). I'm guessing it's because GD is looking for HTML editors, and AndTidWiki has identified itself as an HTML viewer. Adding a new "I CAN HANDLE JOB X" description to android apps is fairly easy -- if you have the source code.
