All references are related to the appendix about MobileOrg, an application for viewing and capturing entries from a mobile device. Relevant parts include references to Apple and Google products in addition to Dropbox: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- MobileOrg is a companion mobile app that runs on iOS and Android devices. MobileOrg enables offline-views and capture support for an Org mode system that is rooted on a "real" computer. MobileOrg can record changes to existing entries. The [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/][iOS implementation]] for the /iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad/ series of devices, was started by Richard Moreland and is now in the hands of Sean Escriva. Android users should check out [[http://wiki.github.com/matburt/mobileorg-android/][MobileOrg Android]] by Matt Jones. Though the two implementations are not identical, they offer similar features. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- MobileOrg needs access to a file directory on a server to interact with Emacs. With a public server, consider encrypting the files. MobileOrg version 1.5 supports encryption for the iPhone. Org also requires =openssl= installed on the local computer. To turn on encryption, set the same password in MobileOrg and in Emacs. Set the password in the variable ~org-mobile-use-encryption~[fn:145]. Note that even after MobileOrg encrypts the file contents, the file name remains visible on the file systems of the local computer, the server, and the mobile device. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- For a server to host files, consider options like [[http://dropbox.com][Dropbox.com]] account[fn:146]. On first connection, MobileOrg creates a directory =MobileOrg= on Dropbox. Pass its location to Emacs through an initialisation file variable as follows: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (setq org-mobile-directory "~/Dropbox/MobileOrg") #+end_src --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Here is the footnote from the last excerpt: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- [fn:146] An alternative is to use a WebDAV server. MobileOrg documentation has details of WebDAV server configuration. Additional help is at this [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#mobileorg_webdav][FAQ entry]]. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I think that is about it.
