Dropbox users: iPad -> Dropbox (solution)

hi guys,

wondering if out there uses pages (or similar) on ipad, , trying documents dropbox folder (or anywhere locally on mac come think of it).

not sure if easiest way of doing it, suggestions welcome!

involves having mac left on @ home, using mail , simple rule run applescript, saving attachments of particular emails dropbox folder.
anyway, here's how it:

• email document (usually .pages) ipad myself, subject 'dropbox'.
• mail.app on imac (constantly running @ home) contains following rule: "if mail [myself] , subject equals [dropbox] run applescript, delete message.'
• the applescript grabs mail attachment, , saves 'emailed' folder in dropbox, meaning file online within minutes of having sent ipad.

want try it, here's script i'm using: (remember change path file saved to!
paste applescript editor, , save script if wish use.

code:

using terms application "mail"  	on perform mail action messages themessages rule therule  		tell application "mail"  			repeat onemessage in themessages  				set {mail attachment:theattachments} onemessage  				  				repeat oneattachment in mail attachments of onemessage  					  					save oneattachment in ("hackintosh:users:ed:dropbox:emailed:") & (name of oneattachment)  					  				end repeat  			end repeat  		end tell  	end perform mail action messages  end using terms from

if else has simpler method, please share!
