[Sailfish X] - File Upload to Dropbox [answered]
Hello,
I have installed Cargo Dock and added my Dropbox-Account. I can see and download files. I have simple .txt-files which I want to edit while I go. Is that somehow possible? I couldn't figure it out yet. As a simple text-editor I have installed Editor.
Alternativly I would download the file, edit the file - but how to upload it again to Dropbox?
Thank you
As far as Cargo Dock, it's generally cumbersome - I haven't figured out how some things work yet with it. Maybe post a comment on Openrepos page. For the first part of your question - are you asking about the possibility of editing files in your Dropbox without actually downloading them? I would doubt that's possible, but if it was, it would have to be a feature of Dropbox, and nothing to do with your OS.

matikanpoika ( 2019-02-19 16:00:05 +0200 )editI'm not even sure how to las with Cargo Dock - I select a file, vopy to clipboard, go to a different directory, and I can't do anything. No amount of long-presses, double-taps, or menu selections reveals any way to paste. Sad because I think file manager is a pressing development nees for Sailfish, and Cargo Dock has potential, but needs work on UI, usability, etc... Anyway, I posted recently about a method of using Android file manager with cloud function in Jolla system, and it works, and others postes about even better ways to do it than mine - https://together.jolla.com/question/199510/how-to-mount-sailfish-system-and-sd-card-on-android/
