How To Easily Access Or Delete Any TextEdit Document Saved To iCloud

by on
Leave a comment
With Mountain Lion, Apple integrated iCloud more deeply in OS X. Unlike before when it was just your email or contacts syncing, iCloud now lets you sync app data and save documents directly to it. TextEdit, the default text editing app in OS X, asks you whether you want to save a file to your desktop or to iCloud each time you create a new document. The only problem is that Apple forgot to include any sort of real interface for iCloud. Sure, you can search for the iCloud folder but if you can make any sense out of the sub-folders you find in it or identify files there correctly, you deserve a medal! We reviewed an app called Plain Cloud a while back that made it considerably easier to browse files in iCloud without having to open the app it was created in. Those of you who save files created in TextEdit to iCloud might be wondering just how you can delete them. The process is simple enough and described below. Read More

Readdle offers some impressive apps in the App Store, but Documents by Readdle is their most popular release to date. There are plenty of other file managers available for iOS as well, but Documents comes closest to perfection. Until now, the app has been limited to iPad only, since people tend to prefer their tablets for reading and editing documents. Thanks to shifting trends and perhaps even due to iPhone 5’s larger display, Readdle has decided that the time is ripe for an iPhone version of their famous Documents app. Documents by Readdle for iPhone isn't much different from its iPad version, offering support for a multitude of file formats and document sources. The update has brought more to the app than just making it iPhone-compatible though. There is now a web browser within Documents that can be used to save webpages as PDF files. The app’s support list for sources has been also been extended to include iCloud. Read More

Google Docs For Android – Create, Edit, Upload & Share Documents Online

The much awaited official app for Google’s web-based documents service has finally been released to the Android Market. Google Docs for Android allows you to create, edit, upload and share documents online via your Google/Gmail account. In our test-run, we found the interface sufficiently fluid, efficient and user-friendly and thought the app as a whole was adequate. Though, judging from the first few reviews on the app’s Android Market page, it seems a majority of users are disappointed with the overall quality and we don’t blame them. It is Google we’re talking about here. Anything less than 'fantastic' ends up disappointing. Most of the disappointed lot have called the app a mere front end for the the mobile website. True, the app's editing interface is an exact replica of its mobile web counterpart. However, most would agree that it is most definitely a faster, more efficient alternative to the mobile web interface. More after the break. Read More

Suppose another situation where you want to open a PDF file quickly but do not want to wait for the bloated Adobe Reader to open it for you. Ofcourse we have alternatives to Adobe Reader but opening the file online is quicker. Read More

Latest MS Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) offer enhanced auto-save features. Sadly, the same functions aren’t found in other note-taking applications, such as Notepad. In the latter case, it is possible that you terminate important notes without saving the changes you made to them. In such cases, recovering the file is your only option, but it can be too time consuming. To prevent such a mishap, you should consider using AutoSaver, a miniscule application that saves all your documents automatically. The application supports any document  for which the hotkey Ctrl + s can be used to save the changes. You just need to specify a time interval and the application will save the document after the specified time has elapsed. Read More
