I think many people have trouble uploading their iWork files to Dropbox without syncing to iTunes, and the solutions I found on the Internet are mainly about WebDAV (which either costs money or is storage-limited). I suddenly came up with an idea recently that solves the problem perfectly and it seems to work well, so I hope it will help you guys:D It costs nothing, but you have to jailbreak your device:p

What you'll need
1. Your jailbroken iDevice (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad) with iWork apps (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) installed and Internet connected.
2. iFile (installed through Cydia)
3. Dropbox app (logged in)

Instructions
1. Open your file
2. Select Tools (the wrench icon on the top right) -> Share and Print -> Send to iTunes -> choose the type of file you want.
3. Open iFile
4. Select Home -> Applications. If names of the folders are chains of numbers and characters, tap Settings (the gear icon in the bottom), turn on Applications Name, you'll see folders of the applications you have installed.
5. Select the iWork app in which your file was created -> Documents. You'll see your file.
6. Tap on it, choose Dropbox from the drop-down list. Dropbox will automatically open and upload the file. Done!
For quick access, you can bookmark the iWork folders in iFile by switching from Shortcuts to Bookmarks (bottom right) -> tap on + button -> bookmark it.

That's all. So far I haven't encountered any problems yet, but if you do plz tell me and I'll see if I can help. Tks!
