Hi Rod I use Dropbox on my iPhone and iPad for viewing a multitude of file types including Word, Excel and PDFs. I don't find that it uses too much data, but obviously that would depend on size of files and the frequency with which you access them.
In Dropbox you can also "favourite" a document by tapping the star icon at bottom of screen (on iPhone) which then downloads a copy of that document to the iPhone so that it is available for viewing by you when there is no WiFi or 3G available to access Dropbox online. I use this process when travelling for access to my electronic air tickets and other essential documents etc. Hope this helps. cheers Jane On 02/03/2011, at 6:45 AM, Rod Blitvich wrote: > Hi WAMUGers > Please - your advice would be appreciated: > > To easliy view a word or excel doc on iphone - is Dropbox the way to go? > (currently using it) > Doesn't chew too much data? > OK to use overseas? > > > Or... can you convert them to pdf and somehow get them into iBooks? > > ta > Blitto > > ps > Off to this great conference tonight: > http://edusummit.info/2011/index.php > > > Rod Blitvich > . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . > 0409 681 256 > [email protected] > http://web.me.com/blitto > > <ADE_Logo_gray.jpg> > > > > > -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- > Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> > Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> > Unsubscribe - <mailto:[email protected]> -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:[email protected]>
