| Oct 16, 2014 at 22:28 | comment | added | Robert Farley | Let me get this straight, to use OneDrive I need to explicitly and manually D/L the file to my phone, navigate to that location on my phone to open and edit it, then manually upload the file back to the cloud?!?!? When I edit the "OneDrive file" using my phone it is a "hidden" and "duplicate" file somewhere on my phone but not available on OneDrive? Best to use DropBox. | |

| Oct 16, 2014 at 22:19 | comment | added | Robert Farley | It begs the question, how do you upload the new file, I cannot see how.... | |

| Oct 16, 2014 at 21:56 | comment | added | Robert Farley | I just tried. If I edit the cloud version it updates. If I "Favorite" (D/L a copy 'within' DB) and edit the Favorite it is updated. What do you mean by "Download"? If you save a seperate copy outside of DB of course it won't sync. In fact, when I save the file on Android, My PC pops up a notification saying Dropbox updated the file - no extra activity needed. | |
| Oct 16, 2014 at 21:43 | comment | added | Robert Farley | "There is no auto synchronisation back to the cloud with these kind of storage apps." - untrue, DropBox auto uploads/syncs the files. This obviates the entire concept of cloud storage. It begs the question, how do you upload the new file, I cannot see how.... | |
