Hello! Yay! You've made me really happy! I can open a file from BTSync in Daedalus text editor, and then when I'm done, open in BTSync again, and it works brilliantly. I'd have saved myself a lot of frustration if I'd figured that out before. It sounds like a small feature, but if you want to use an ipad for writing without using dropbox, it's a huge deal! Silly Apple. I wish it weren't such a closed, commercialized system. I may switch to android for that reason, but meanwhile at least, I can use my ipad the way I want! Thanks!

I am trying to use BTSync to replace dropbox. It is set up just fine on my iPad 2 (with iOS 7) and my Mac, but I do lots of writing and editing of text files. So I need a way to add new text files and edit existing ones on my ipad and then resync them with my other machines. I can open my files in other apps, but I don't see a way to get them back into the BTSync file structure. This seems to be the one functionality that none of the dropbox alternative sync systems have. Does it require a separate text editing app that will connect to the BTSync app? Is it just because Apple is a jerk and locks down its file system so hard? If there is any way to set this up, I'd love to hear. If not, then please consider this as a feature request to add that functionality. I know I'm not going to be able to shake Dropbox until I find some app that will allow the edit and reupload. Thanks! Other than this snag for my own use, it works great, and I'm really glad to see a movement toward local personal clouds.
