App for editing files in my Dropbox?

Question

My current setup is Dropbox with a directory called /Docs, in which I have my emacs .org outline files.

If you don't know about Emacs and org-mode, these files are plain text, just formatted with ** and so on for headings, however the extension is .org

I have tried Elements, however it would not let me view notes with the extension of .org

So essentially, I want to sync up notes between org-mode and an app on my iPhone 4, without using MobileOrg (which doesn't really sync as such).

Answer 1

You can use PlainText, it syncs with Dropbox (you can choose which folder to sync) and it let you choose which file extensions you want to sync.

Answer 2

Here's a nice iPhone Text Editors comparison by the great Michael Tsai (author of SpamSieve among others).

Comparing iPhone Text Editors, v4. I can't post any conclusion he makes here, because he doesn't make much, other than that he's still sticking with Notesy.

Answer 3

Nebulous Lite (there's also a non-ad-supported version) is a text editor for any type of file in Dropbox. I frequently use it to edit plain text files. I just tested it to sync and edit text files with a .org extension and it worked.
