I'm using Dropbox since a while now. There is an issue with the Android
client that could also affect MobileOrg. The Android client only
supports certain filetypes. For example, I could never figure out how to
open a Dropbox-controlled LaTeX file with VerbTeX (AFAIK the only TeX
editor available in the Market). That neither works if the file is
accessed via the Dropbox client, nor have I figured out how to drop the
file to the SDcard. There is no way to configure Dropbox's filetype
associations on the user side. So, I think support for org files has to
be implemented by the Dropbox developers.
