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?
