iOS Failings

I really like using my iPhone or iPad. But having used the Samsung Note and S3, iOS really shows its weakness with sharing and business use.

Let me explain. I received an email requiring me to complete an excel spreadsheet. No problem. I have DocsToGo installed as well as Pages. I prefer using DocsToGo as it has more options. Anyway, I completed the spreadsheet on my iPad Mini with ease. And that is where iOS now crumbles.

There is no way I could re-attach the excel spreadsheet to the existing email. I could only send it as a new email. Sorry not acceptable. So this was my workaround.

I sent using DocsToGo the excel spreadsheet to my Dropbox and saved it there. I then opened LogMeIn on my iPad and starter a remote session with my MacBook. I opened up safari, then my email account, opened the email, attached the file from Dropbox and sent it. I then closed the remote session.

Now that’s nuts. Common Apple, include this ability with iOS 7 to have access to the local files. Android has this and shares data so much easier.
