Nebulous Controller

I'm not really updating this anymore. If you want to talk about this, email me, and I'll see what I can do

Nebulous Controller is an easy-to-implement, open-source module for iPhone and iPad apps that makes it easy for users to save and open files stored on their Dropbox. Dropbox is the best cloud-based file storage solution, and by using the Nebulous Controller, your users can finally save files somewhere other than the local iPhone/iPad file system. There are other ways of getting files off your iPhone/iPad, but they are all cumbersome.

Who uses Nebulous Controller?

Right now, the only app I know of is Nebulous Notes. If you know of another app that uses this, please email me


What can it do?

Nebulous Controller provides a simple interface for users to login to their dropbox, select a file, and return that file to your app. It then provides an API for your app to upload a file back onto their Dropbox.

Other features include the ability to sign-up for a Dropbox account, delete files, create new files, and protect your login with a PIN.

The best way to learn what this app is capable of, is to download Nebulous Notes.
