I don't get why iOS doesn't have filesystem notebooks on the comparison table.
- alwayslikethis 2y agoThe fact that iOS doesn't really have a real filesystem you can use, would be my guess.
- rcarmo 2y agoAs someone who regularly uses vim inside iOS to edit files from another application and syncs the whole lot via SyncThing, I beg to differ. From a filesystem perspective, it's no different from jails or container mount points.
- Towaway69 2y agoAs someone who left iOS for Android because of that, I was pleasantly surprised - when I went back - to find that iOS now has a Files app for managing files on the device and also network shares. iOS has definitely improved in that area and definitely now has a filesystem.
- jedberg 2y agoIt has iCloud Drive instead, which is the closest equivalent to a filesystem on iOS
- rcarmo 2y agoSo you can't use other file providers? That tech is really stable now, I've been using it for years to edit a git repo inside Working Copy or files inside other apps using yet another set of apps (Textastic, iA Writer, even vim inside a-Shell). You should really consider reviewing that viewpoint.
