Re: AccessNote was Re: Reading Dropbox Files with AccessNote
I'm using AccessNote on an iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1 and am able to manipulate files. I just can't get to the DropBox folders. Holland's Boy, Bill - Be careful about reading health books.

You were just honestly trying to help out. We all make mistakes. It is true, Access Note is now free in the app store, but ever since ios 8, all of the reports are that it is no longer accessible. I do not know if this is a ios bug, or a bug with Access Note. Since there has not been any updates since November 2013, my fear is that once Access Note went free, that meant that AFB will no longer be updating the app. Therefore, if it is a bug in Access Note, then it will never be fixed. I do not know if I will get a response, but I do plan on writing Access Note support to let them know of the problems, plus to see if they plan on updating the app to work with ios 8. I have been looking and trying out different apps to replace Access Note, now one that does let you access any folder in your dropbox is Nebulous. Now there is a small cost for this app, but it does have all of the same features as Access Note plus a few more, plus, it is totally accessible with voiceover. For a free choice that is voiceover accessible is Plain Text. Now when you first set up dropbox to sync with this app, it will ask you if you want it to access all folders or just its own folder. There is an in app purchase to get rid of ads and support the developers, but the ads are not in the way at all, so it is a personal preference. Since I am still checking out both of these apps, I do not know everything about them yet, but I know there are other list members that use both of these apps. And of coarse, you can find both of them in the app store. Chris Sent from my iPhone On Oct 24, 2014, at 2:51 AM, Richard Turner rich...@turner42.com wrote: Chris, My apologies.

You were just honestly trying to help out. We all make mistakes. It is true, Access Note is now free in the app store, but ever since ios 8, all of the reports are that it is no longer accessible. I do not know if this is a ios bug, or a bug with Access Note. Since there has not been any updates since November 2013, my fear is that once Access Note went free, that meant that AFB will no longer be updating the app. Therefore, if it is a bug in Access Note, then it will never be fixed. I do not know if I will get a response, but I do plan on writing Access Note support to let them know of the problems, plus to see if they plan on updating the app to work with ios 8. I have been looking and trying out different apps to replace Access Note, now one that does let you access any folder in your dropbox is Nebulous. Now there is a small costfor this app, but it does have all of the same features as Access Note plus a few more, plus, it is totally accessible with voiceover. For a free choice that is voiceover accessible is Plain Text. Now when you first set up dropbox to sync with this app, it will ask you if you want it to access all folders or just its own folder. There is an in app purchase to get rid of ads and support the developers, but the ads are not in the way at all, so it is a personal preference. Since I am still checking out both of these apps, I do not know everything about them yet, but I know there are other list members that use both of these apps.

Re: AccessNote was Re: Reading Dropbox Files with AccessNote
Hello Bill, Access Note automatically list the files that are in the access note dropbox folder. Of coarse, in order for Access Note to access your dropbox, be sure to go into the settings of Access Note and sign in. Now, Access Note does not automatically update the files in dropbox, in order to do this, you have to double tap the sync button on the main screen. As long as you do this, any changes you make will be done in dropbox. I hope this helps, Chris Sent from my iPhone On Oct 24, 2014, at 8:03 PM, Bill Gallik wfgal...@charter.net wrote: Yes!
