Fastest Path from .TXT to Android Desktop

[alicecuriouse]

There are several apps that a user create various files from an Android (textual documents, audio recordings, photos, links) and store them on a website where they can be accessed later from a desktop computer.

I am looking for a way to do the reverse.

I do a lot of data gathering from my desktop computer. I copy large amounts of text and links and paste them into either a .txt or .rtf file.

What would be a simple method to send a .txt or .rft file from my desktop directly to my SD card AND create a shortcut link for it either on my Android desktop or in system folder somewhere that I can have a desktop shortcut to?

I realize the solution might seem obvious, but while I am using my Android to view Google docs, or Evernote, or Snaptic it is not apparent to me how I can simply pull the document from the web and store it on my phone for quick access.

I have tons of .txt and .rtf files that I would like to permantly store on my SD card, so whatever quick method you know of will be uber helpful.

Thank you!

Dropbox would be the easiest and most seamless IMO. You can get the app free from the market.

All you need is a free Dropbox account and you have 2+ GB of storage. No CC info required.
Also, if you use a referral link, you and the referrer both get an extra 250 MB of storage.

Here's mine:

Okay, I'll try it.

Do you have any tips for how I would access these files on my Android?

Just open the Dropbox app and you can browse/download all your files.

Ya. It's exactly like looking at files on your sd card using a file manager, except they're in the cloud.

I use dropbox with my phone and haven't plugged it in in months.
