I never need to do that.

If I had to, I would use a google editor on the cloud (which you hate), 
or a new account at my host computer. And that would be very strange, as 
I travel with my laptop.

My phone is already 2 years old, I expect to use it for two years more, 
and I don't pay cloud storage.

I have never needed or felt the inclination to edit things in my phone. 
At least not heavy memory things, just notes. Editing is done in my 
computer.
