I need to sync individual files (mostly spreadsheets and word documnets - xlsx and docx) between an iPad Air and an iMac. How do I do this?
The only way I have found is to email it back and forth - dangerous as you can have issues with versions. If I was still using my old PC and laptop I would drag the document back and forth between shared folders. The iPad doesn't use folders.........
iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
You could use iCloud.

Apple's Numbers and Pages apps do that automatically, by design, through iCloud. They can also read and write their equivalent Microsoft formats.
Otherwise, you have to use the method you describe, Dropbox, or equivalent file sharing programs.
Thanks, I prefer to use Microsoft Office - the software is lot more "functional" and is industry standard. It seems there's no free lunch until Microsoft embraces iCloud etc. Pigs may fly yet....
