Customer Reviews
Poor even as a synchronization application
I understand the restrictions of this initial version of Documents to Go: it's a document synchronizer with the ability to edit Word documents on the iPhone.
OK -- I'll buy it for $4.99, with the understanding that Excel editting capabilities will be added as time goes on. Good deal. I've used the Documents to Go Desktop app for years on the Mac, and have been quite happy with it.
However, the Documents to Go for the iPhone Desktop app is extremely minimal in its organizational features:
- No categories, so all the files are jumbled together.
I've tried ways to emulate categories, by trying to synchronize individual folders that correspond to categories. However, I then have to re-arrange all the Document files and/or folders on my Mac, as the Desktop App won't allow one of their folders to contain another.
- No ability to launch the document in question from the Desktop App.
It does transfer and sync files very well, and appears to be a solid product from what I can see.
But in the end, I have to ask myself if this is worth switching to from AirSharing; and for now, the answer is No.
No email support?
Where is the email button within the program? Why must you have an Exchange Account for this to work? Why will it not work with my native gmail application that is already in my iPhone?
Why can we not print directly from the device? HP offers an app to print pictures wirelessly from iPhone, Dataviz couldn't figure it out? Also, being able to upload files from this docs2go folder from another application like Safari is a neccesity.
The way this app is now it is rather worthless, and does not function as a stand alone app at all- all files must be synced to your PC before you can do anything with them. At first I was excited this was only $5, but now I see why. It's not worth a penny more. At least incorporate email for non- Microsoft Exchange users?
Finally able to synchronize MS Office, PDF, JPEG, etc between my MacBook Pro and iPhone 3GS
First, let me share my background. I am a physician, and have used the MS Office software routinely since 1996. Since 2001, I have depended on carrying my MS Office files with me in 3 different HP iPaq Pocket PCs running different versions of Windows Mobile. I also like to have with me at all times medical diagrams that I have “cut and pasted” and scanned throughout my career. I used these files not only for my own reference, but for teaching purposes, too.
When I purchased my first iPhone, a 16GB 3G in Dec 2008, the one big thing that I knew I was giving up was the ability to easily “drag and drop” and synchronize MS Office files between the portable device and my computer. I have since succumbed to temptation and purchased the new 32GB iPhone 3GS. I am also using MacBook Pro as my main computer.
This “Documents To Go” application is, perhaps, the most important work-related application in my iPhone 3GS. I am now able to carry with me at all times a computer folder with my most important information. The folder synchronizes perfectly with the corresponding folder in my computer. Currently, Excel files cannot be edited in the iPhone, but Dataviz is making efforts to have this issue resolved.
Unlike the Windows Mobile PPC, this folder does not synchronize automatically upon connecting the PPC to the computer. Syncing needs to be performed manually. Also the connection between the computer and the iPhone needs to be done via a WiFi connection, and will not work via a physical connection with a USB cable.
Unlike the more expensive Exchange Attachments version, this cheaper version allows one to email files using webmail accounts like Yahoo! and Gmail. I switched to this cheaper version because of this email capability. BTW, during my switch, both DataViz and Apple were very helpful in refunding me the money I paid for the Exchange Attachments version.
In summary, as long as you have a WiFi connection and can wait for Dataviz to add Excel editing capabilities for the iPhone, I consider this to be the best program available to synchronize MS Office files, as well as PDFs, photos, JPGs, PNGs, BMPs, TIFs, GIFs, and HTM files between your computer and your iPhone using the simple “Drag and Drop” method.
