I installed dropbox on my ip4, how do I drop a pages document into the dropbox from the iPhone ?

Also how do you drop photos from the phone as well ?

I haven' t got Pages, so I'm not sure how it works, but it may need Dropbox support in order to upload a document from your phone.

For pictures, go into the Dropbox app, select the uploads tab at the bottom of the screen, press the + button at the top right, and select the photo from your photo stream or albums.

You can't drop a file unless that app supports drop box .. Pages syncs will iCloud thou ..

that blows... iCloud is the worst excuse for a solution since Obama

apple makes slick products but WWWWAAAAAAYYYYYY to structured, this is annoying.

I won't change platforms, there is nothing remotely better.

I can't save a pages document on my Mac and have it sync with my phone or iPad, I bought all this **** so it would all sync and there is issue after issue, Jobs has us all on a cash treadmill...

I can't even print from my phone Ive tried several apps they all suck too

Not a happy apple camper considering how much all this crap costs....

Pages on your comp should work to your phone and iPad using iCloud .. As far as printing get a AirPrint printer or set a computer up with the program to act as the sever to any non wireless printer

I know its supposed to work but it does not...

Why can't I view the saved pages ?? Where are they stored.

I have to say Apple rushed this product and it sucks as of now

Download the 'Phone Drive' app and after you've installed it, copy the pages document to it and then select 'open in DropBox'. When your DropBox appears, select the folder you want the file to be uploaded to and then select upload at the bottom of the screen. I just did the procedure before posting.

How do you copy a pages document ?

I downloaded the phone drive app but can't seem to migrate a pages file or access drop box

Thanks

If you don't mind me asking which printer do you have and do you like it?

FWIW I just bought a Canon Pixma MG5320 for $99. It think it's a great printer if you don't do a ton of printing. (I don't). AirPrint works easily from both of my iPhones after I did a firmware update to the printer.
