Hi Kay, Well, getting files to your iPhone is not a difficult one. You could simply use one of the cloud storage programs / apps, like Dropbox, One Drive, or Google Drive. I personally use Dropbox, and this allows me to access any of my files on both my computer or iPhone.
Now as far as editing files on your iPhone, this first depends on what type of files you will be editing. If they are MS Office files like Word or Excel, I will tell you that this can not be done as easily as it is done on your computer. Word was not the most accessible on the iPhone, but I have not used it for a while, so do not know if it has gotten any better. And Excel, because of the screen size, is very slow and tedious to use. On my phone, I mainly use txt or RTF file formats when writing. And using Mark Down can be handy when needed. If you are going to be doing a lot of editing and writing, I would probably recommend some type of keyboard. there are many out there, so it is really depending on what you prefer to use. You can use a regular blue tooth keyboard, or you could use something like the Orbit Writer or Hable keyboard. Again, this comes down to preference. As far as what apps to use, well, again, this will depend on what type of files you will be working with. As far as editors there are lots out there, and everybody has there favorite. there's Voice Dream Writer, Drafts, 1Writer, and of coarse Notes. I hope this has been helpful and at least gives you a starting point. Chris > On Oct 22, 2022, at 7:35 AM, Kay Malmquist <kay.malmqu...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Here is my great conundrum.
