      For ages now I've been trying to find something that can do contents search across hundreds of text files in Dropbox, usually with the aim of then reading rather than working with said files. I've never been able to and in fact this was the one advantage my Surface Pro 3 had over the iPad. Now I'm hoping with editorial I'll finally have everything I wanted and needed in a tablet!

      I'm going on a holiday in a few months and will not have Internet access. Therefore I'd very much like to be able to copy a folder and its contents from Dropbox to the "local" section of editorial. I've seen workflows that do local -> Dropbox but nothing the other way round. Any ideas?

      Apologies if this has been asked and answered but I couldn't find it.

      Thank you!

        hi @cavgirl you may not actually need to copy files to your local folder (I don't believe so anyway). You can sync your dropbox content and it will stay there in Editorial whether or not you are online. Try it!

        One caveat... you may need to go through folders to make sure that content is actually synced.
