Uploading files to Trunk Notes using your web browser

The publicised way of getting a PDF file, or other type of file, into Trunk Notes is to use iTunes File Sharing. However if you are on a computer which doesn’t have iTunes – or you avoid iTunes – then don’t worry there is another way.

The first step is to put Trunk Notes into Wi-Fi Sharing mode. Simply tap the action button in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, and select Wi-Fi Sharing.

You will be given a web address to enter into your web browser on a computer on the same network. For me the address is http://192.168.1.110:10000

If you are asked for a username and password, and haven’t changed it in the Settings app, enter trunk and password.

To upload a file click the Upload button.

You will now be given the opportunity to choose the file to upload. Once you have done this click Upload File.

When the file has been successfully uploaded you will be given the rather terse message ‘OK’. (This feature needs a little more work before it is made properly public in the manual!)

If now look at the list of pages in your wiki a new one will have been created representing the file. Tapping that entry will show you a thumbnail. Tap the thumbnail to view the whole of the file.
