Control Your Mac From iOS Using Dropbox And Applescript

So in the past few weeks a bunch of text editing apps for iOS have been released that use Dropbox to sync with your desktop computer. I’ve been really liking Plaintext, and was wondering what I could use it for besides just plain writing text…

And then I remembered Folder Actions, which are an OS X feature that lets you set an applescript to run whenever a file is added to a folder (or deleted).

All you need is remember some Applescripts.
