dropboxiostext-editor
Can anyone recommend an iOS text editor (iPad and iPhone) that can open arbitrary text files from Dropbox?
I've used a few, but they tend to be restricted to a specific subdirectory of my Dropbox root, e.g. Elements only lets me work in the ~/Dropbox/Elements directory.
I think the best one out there is called Textastic. It supports FTP, DropBox and WebDav and has a keyboard geared for editing code. It also has syntax highlighting.
There is a move function within the dropbox app. Go to the folder that contains the file(s) you want to move and click on the check icon.
Select the file(s) you want to move and click on move on the lower right corner. Now a new window will appear. Choose the location where you want to move the file and tab the choose button.
That's it.

There's a large number of applications available that can do this.
My preferred text editor happens to be Byword. By default, it'll link to a specific dropbox folder (/Apps/Byword), but you can change this in the app's settings; just setting it to "/" will give access to every folder in your Dropbox.
iA Writer is another popular choice.
If you're looking for something more geared towards code than writing, Textastic is nice.
Additionally, Brett Terpstra has compiled a large list of iOS text editors and features here, though it doesn't specify which apps have full access or if they are limited to a specific App folder in Dropbox.
