Flexiblity!

This is a great app. But it could be much better if we could use other iPhone apps access the TouchFS home folder/sub-folders, so we could use for example the Photo app to see the pictures we have moved from our PC to iPhone or use the mail to send a doc/pic from the TouchFS home folder/sub-folder... Could that be possible?

Sadly, it's not possible with the current iPhone OS.  Each application only has access to its own files and folders.  Aside from TouchFS being able to access your address book and your photo library, it can't access the files in any other app, and vise-versa.  No other application can access the files stored in TouchFS.


We're trying to come up with creative ways to get around this a bit, but there's only so much we'll be able to do since our app runs in its own little sandbox walled off from all others.
