One of my biggest frustrations with the iPad, and a reason I can’t drop using a tradition computer yet, is that it’s difficult to do something trivial like copy a document from OneDrive to Dropbox. Never mind what you think of OneDrive and Dropbox, it’s a productivity barrier.

@andynicolaides You can do this in one step if you have OneDrive and Dropbox folders on the Mac. Or you can save the doc, it’s a Word file, direct to Dropbox. It seems minor, but I’ve got a dozen to move.

@andynicolaides I found a workaround. If you select the doc in OneDrive then pick “open in another app” you can move it to a Dropbox folder. It’s quite simple, but you’d need to know things work that way, it’s not immediately obvious.

I have been doing the following to copy between them. Hold on file in OneDrive, select copy. Go to folder in Dropbox and Hold on white space, select paste.

@Burk Interesting. I mentioned earlier that I found another workaround as well. It seems the functionality is all there in iOS, it’s just a question of mastering different ways of working.

@Burk do that 100 times.
