How can I add a 'text file' on my IPad? I established my Dropbox acct. on my tmobile droid phone, and it works fine thereThe version for IPad does not have the same controls and so far I can only view files on my IPad??
Any suggestions?

If you want to put a text file from Dropbox onto your iPad - press the "arrow into a box" icon in Dropbox (when the document you want to download is visible).

If you want to share that document (e.g. e-mail it), then press the arrow that's curving off to the right. See this for a visual of what I mean (the share arrow is outlined in red, the download arrow is outlined in green):



That help?
