iPad Pro OSX or iOS 9

It would help but there are times when there is no WiFi or cellular. I need about 3000 contracts on the device for my people reference while in the field. We use DropBox through out my company but it requirements for communications is the same.

I am having a big disagreement, I mean discussion, about this with our IT people. They simply have no idea that there are a good number of circumstances in which online access is impossible and being able to save and work on documents on local storage is mission critical.

The app works offline. I tried it and I could open documents and everything.

For you iPad?

I know DB downloads all the files to a desk or lap top but not to the iPad. We need tablets with all of our files on them. My Surface Pro 3 has all the files but on an iPad, no can do. This is what I need the iPad Pro to do if I were to consider it and I do not think it will happen.

IT people tend to like you on a live network. We are our int eh field and there is not even cellular at time much less WiFi.

My comment was referring to the iCloud Drive app on iOS 9.

It will run the existing iOS Office apps. Whether those are close enough to the desktop OS version of Office is a personal call.

I know that the iPad Pro will ship with iOS 9. My question to you is, if it is to be a legitimate competitor to the Surface Pro 3/4 from Microsoft, how come it does ship with OS X so that one is able to have one device merging both tablet and laptop like capabilities?

I own a 2012 MacBook Air and I really like it. However, I have a Surface 3 that is my tablet, work station as well.

I stopped reading after " I know" - you hazard a guess- you don't know anything we don't.
