All these comments have been very interesting. So, what I am understanding
is that if I store these files in one drive and sync them to both my PC and
iPhone I should be able to at the very least read them on both and have
access to them? Can I find these files on my iPhone and attach them to
email messages? I would have to have a 365 account though?Or is there any
way to do this with Office 19? This would be better than nothing at all.

Subject: RE: How to use files on an iPhone
I too agree with Alan, Chris and Rich. For me, I use Microsoft 365, as
Rich points out. I get 1TB of storage in One Drive, and I just have the
Documents folder in Windows synced with One Drive. This means that I can
always go to One Drive to see what ever is also in the Documents folder on
my PC. I use this for consuming content, like reading Word documents or
listening to MP3 files, and I’ll also update text files with something like
VoiceDream Writer. Even though I prefer creating content on my PC with it’s
desktop operating system and applications and using a full desktop keyboard,
I wouldn’t say I’d never see myself doing this on a mobile device.

I also agree with Chris. I understand the desire to be able to manage all
content using your iDevice but I'm not convinced it will ever be totally
practical for those of us dependent on VoiceOver and accessibility.
Personally, when I got my first iPhone in 2013, Dropbox was the cloud
service I found most supported by the apps I used and it also gave me the
best bridge between files on my computer and iPhone. I decided long ago that
the price of the Dropbox Plus account was well worth it and I haven't looked
back.
I'll close by confessing that I will always prefer doing any serious
editing on my computer with a full sized keyboard so I'll never be using my
iPhone for Word or Excel editing.

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.

Here is my great conundrum. I do so much with my iPhone and I am sure
there is an answer to this. I have a bunch of files on my computer, but I
want to know if there is a good way to either put them on my iPhone and have
total access to them using whatever app. Or can I load them on to a hard
drive and access them from my iPhone somehow? I want to be able to edit
them and everything I can do with my computer. My ultimate goal would be to
move away from using the computer as much as possible and just using the
iPhone. If anyone can tell me if this is possible and how I might go about
doing this, I'd really appreciate the input. Thanks much.
