Sharing Documents with Other Apps
InterConneX is an iPad/iPhone app that that lets you create a repository of files and data right on your device. It provides for exchanging files and data between apps on your device as well as with other devices — and even Macs — running ChronoAgent or InterConneX. This can be particularly useful when you are away from your Mac and wish to access and manipulate files remotely.
If an iOS app supports document sharing, that app will be able to access, manipulate and share the contents of files directly within an InterConneX sharespace. This guide explains how to set up document sharing in InterConneX. It will also show how to open a document that resides in a sharespace and edit it within Pages.
ALLOW SHARING IN INTERCONNEX
When creating or editing a sharespace in InterConneX, you’ll see a “Share with other Apps” setting on the final sharespace summary window. Turn this ON.
SELECT INTERCONNEX IN OTHER APP
For this example, we’ll use the Pages app. When you are in an app that supports document sharing, like Pages, you’ll be able to take advantage of using the contents of the sharespaces you set up to share.
Open Pages
Choose 'Browse' at the Bottom of the Window
Tap on 'Locations'
Tap on 'Edit'
Turn ON 'InterConneX Documents'
‘InterConneX Documents’ will be in the list of options (seen as ‘InterConneX…’). Turn it ON. This will allow you to select from shareable InterConneX sharespaces.
Tap on 'Done'
Tap on 'InterConneX Documents'
Now ‘InterConneX Documents’ is listed in the Locations. Tap on that.
Tap on the Desired Sharespace
A list of sharespaces appears. These are the sharespaces that you have allowed to be shared. Tap on the desired sharespace so you can tunnel into it and select the document you wish to edit.
Tap on Document
Once you find the document you wish to edit, tap on it.
Open in Pages
The document from the sharespace opens in Pages.
Edit the Document
Edit the document. Here we just added a blue rectangle.
REVIEW CHANGES IN INTERCONNEX
Switch back to InterConneX
Go to the Sharespace
Go into the sharespace that contains the document you’ve been working on.
'Quick Look' Document
Double-tap or ‘Quick Look’ the document that was edited in Pages to verify changes were made.
See Blue Rectangle
Once opened, you can see the blue rectangle that was added to the document.
CONCLUSION
You just used Pages to edit a document that resides in a InterConneX sharespace! Any edits you make will be immediately available to you in the sharespace.
