Can any remarkable owners comment on the reliability/robustness of the document storage? Does it store versions and/or backups?
I made the mistake of buying an equilpen2 at an apple store years ago. I say mistake not because I didn't like the product (I used it for hundreds of pages of notes over the year or two after I bought it and loved that it let me write on regular paper) but because the company gave up on the product and eventually released destructive app updates that deleted all my notes from my local machines.
I was only able to recover my content because I had it synced to dropbox and now I'm paranoid about content creation devices like this potentially losing my content in the future if the company goes belly-up.
- carlosdp 7y agoThe cloud sync/storage is pretty rudimentary, no versions or anything like that. But they have an app for desktop/phone so you can download and backup. There are unofficial client libraries for the cloud API as well, so it can be automated.

- jonahbenton 7y agoI don't recall if it shows up as a USB storage device, but it will expose a webserver to you over USB to which you can put documents. I also wrote a utility to send documents up to their server side APIs, which them gets them automatically sync'd down to the device. Takes about a minute, works very well.
