As a teacher, I am interested to find out if i can sync documents, ie excel spreadsheet between my pc and ipad. Can I update and add data to the doc save into dropbox or other area and open..updated on my pc?

Thanks for any advice.

Yes you can. The trick is to use an app like QuickOfficeHD that has native Dropbox support so that you do not need to use the Open In... function from the Dropbox app. When you open and save directly to and from the Dropbox folder within QuickOffice, the documents are updated automatically.
