better Dropbox support?
-
I've just started working with Pythonista and I really enjoy it. However, I wish it had better support for Dropbox (or even Google Drive) built into the editor. I've seen that support can be added using Python programs, but these require the user to get a Dropbox developer account and enter their account information and key into the program. Since this seems to be a common thing, why not make it part of Pythonista itself?
An app I've seen recently that has good Dropbox support is Sightspace 3D (http://goo.gl/AL7jgT). After supplying this app with the user's account name and password, the contents of Dropbox are available from an item in the file loading menu. I didn't know this was possible until I saw it in this application. This is the kind of Dropbox support that Pythonista should have, too.
Is it possible that we could see something like this in a future version of Pythonista?

In August 2013, @omz released another app called Editorial (http://editorial-app.com) that has more streamlined integration to Dropbox. Hopefully he is going to port that into Pythonista vNext.

Not unless Apple changes their rules — built-in features for downloading code are forbidden. @omz covered this on Twitter.
