I assumed this App worked like Quickoffice.....
As in when you create a link between the 2, Dropbox content is automatically shown in Quickoffice and vica versa...(and yes
So, when linking my Dropbox to Plaintext, why doesn't the Dropbox content show in Plaintext ????
Do I actually have to manually transfer Folders from my Dropbox to Plaintext ?? If so, thats not much help...
I may have missed it but please provide a clear instruction page for this App....at the moment its not as straight forward as I thought it would be given your lack of clear instruction..

Here are a few tips that may help, which I believe are covered in the in-app help book as well (namely, Settings gear > Help > Syncing Documents > Sync with Dropbox)

1. PlainText only works with, well, plain text files (*.txt). It does not handle rich text like .rtf or .doc. If there are other, non-plain text files in folders, PlainText won't display or sync with them.
2. PlainText syncs to a single folder in your Dropbox, and any folders inside that one. By default, that's the PlainText folder.
3. You can choose the folder you want to sync to when you're unlinked from Dropbox. Just edit the "Link Folder" path to what you want. If you want the entire Dropbox folder to be accessible, just use "/" as your Link Folder path.
