Can I open and edit .pages files via the Dropbox app on my iPad Air 2?
Hi guys. I have dropbox installed on my ipad air 2. I would like to be able to edit a "pages" file on my ipad and have it automatically sync with my dropbox online and on my macbook.
However, I can't find anyway to open a file in pages from dropbox on my ipad, or download and open.
Does anybody know how I can do this? Thanks

Hi iyiyi, thanks for posting on the Community!
Could you forward a screenshot showing exactly what options you get when attempting to open the file in the Dropbox app, and what you see if you try to open the file?
Are you able to access Dropbox directly from the Pages app to see if you’re able to view the Dropbox structure using the iOS Files app?
Keep me posted!
Thanks. Basically to rephrase the question, on my macbook, I have a dropbox folder and any files edited and saved there, automatically save to my dropbox. Is there a way to do this on an ipad? It's not something I can really post of a photo of

If you’re not getting the option to edit the file via the mobile app, which should then open Numbers, then it isn’t possible.
Have you tried the steps I previously mentioned to open Numbers directly and access Dropbox from there?
- Yes you can.
Using the files app on your iPad, you can navigate to your Dropbox files and open/edit/save them with pages, numbers, keynote etc.This worked!
