If you have to rely on a third-party service for something as basic as sharing a file between two apps on the same device, then that is a major failure on the part of the device maker.

The idea of sand boxing is a good one, but there needs to be an option for those of us who know what they are doing, or are willing to take a risk. I shouldn't have to rely on cloud availability constantly.

The Share/Action menus in iOS are global for the OS. What do you mean by third-party service? If you can open a filetype in an app on iOS, it'll show up on the action menu for that type of file.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. There's no failure of the device here that requires a third party app.

I was responding to the idea that you have to have iCloud and/or Dropbox sometimes to exchange files with another app on the same device.

Sure, if you want to exchange with another device - but not an app.
