Mind mapping apps for the iPad: The Dropbox connection

Dropbox on the Apple iPadIn the world of iPad apps, one developer is quickly emerging as the de facto standard for “cloud” (Internet) based storage of files created on Apple’s popular tablet: Dropbox. According to a list on the Dropbox website, there are over 100 apps that store files you have created on the iPad in your Dropbox repository – sort of like having a virtual hard drive!

Developers of mind mapping apps have been someone slow to support Dropbox so far, but I expect that to change in the next few years, as tablets continue to grow in popularity. Here is a summary of those that currently support it and those that don’t:

Support Dropbox

  • MindNode
  • iThoughts HD – yes, and also web server, Mobile.me, WebDAV
  • Mindo – yes, and also Box.net, wi-fi, iTunes and Picasa (image of mind map)

Don’t support Dropbox

  • iMindMap HD – e-mail only
  • MindMeister for iPad – share via MindMeister online and e-mail only
  • SimpleMind – share via proprietary server, e-mail, cellular network and wi-fi
  • Maptini (formerly CrowdMap) – only via the developer’s proprietary map sharing service
  • Popplet – PDF only
  • IdeaMapper – PNG and e-mail map image only
  • MindCreator – image, freemind, PDF (via e-mail) only
  • Total Recall – e-mail image, mind map or PDF
  • Idea Sketch – image, photos, Facebook
  • MyThoughtsBook – e-mail only
  • Iditia – only exports to Google Docs

Some of these are newer mind mapping apps that I haven’t even talked about on this blog yet. Watch for more details on them in the weeks and months ahead.
