  1. In trying to figure out a good workflow for using Resilio Sync for IOS, I've come across a bump in the road. There is no IOS text editor  (that I have found) that will allow me to save new documents directly to Resilio Sync. Some allow me to export single documents to Sync, which helps, but creates duplicate documents and can lead to confusion about where the most current document is. If no text editor can do this, a second option would be to use URL actions or scripting (e.g. tools like Workflow or the scripting options built into editors like 1Writer or Drafts) to add the files in bulk to Resilio Sync, and remove them from the editor's storage. As far as I can find, Sync does not support any URL schemes. I have seen requests on the forums for mobile APIs, but this would be different, it shouldn't require any new server support, just additional features to the client to respond to these URL handlers. If support for URL actions were added in IOS, it would open up more flexibility in inter-operating with other apps. Another user ask about this feature previously, noting how some tasks could be accomplished easier with a URL action.
  2. I use Resilio Sync to store plain text files, to sync between my Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Resilio Sync does this just fine, and because it serves as a document provider, I can preview and open the existing files in a variety of apps. I use 1Writer for this which is a nice app and works fairly well. However, when I create a document in 1Writer, the only way I can get documents into Resilio Sync is by storing them locally on the IOS device and then copying them over (one at a time) to the appropriate Sync folder. This is a bit of a pain. 1Writer allows integration with iCloud and Dropbox, and I believe that you can even store files by default into these locations. However, other normal document providers don't have this as an option. Are there any IOS text editors that would allow me to save directly to Resilio Sync? (Even better if I could set it to do this by default). Another option would be if I could easily move files in bulk from local storage on the iPad into Resilio Sync. Anyone have any ideas? I'm committed to a non-cloud solution, but this is really hampering my workflow.
