- nkrisc 1y agoThis works very well, been doing it for years. Even works flawlessly for me on Windows using the iCloud client.
- asciii 1y agoReally, how? When I add a new page on my Windows client, it never reaches my phone and is stuck in some weird refresh icon state. I tried this on a windows laptop and another main machine. I just ended up keeping my iPad nearby.
- sshine 1y agoThis worked for me until iCloud started cache clearing all my files aggressively so my vault would take ten minutes to open on iPhone. Every few days. When I tried to copy my vault off iCloud, the copy failed and two years of notes were permanently lost. I’m never putting anything of value in iCloud again.
- carefulfungi 1y agoFlashbacks to the time I copied iCloud pointers/placeholders thinking I was actually copying files with actual data. Oh well, who needed those few years of documents anyway.
- dasil003 1y agoFunny how Steve Jobs famously derided Dropbox as "a feature not a product" and yet even after trying for decades Apple can't get that feature right.
- pram 1y agoFWIW it has an option these days to keep folders permanently downloaded/local.
- nickthegreek 1y agoCan this work with a windows or nix system in the mix?
- MSFT_Edging 1y agoThis gets complicated when you want your vault accessible across linux/windows/android/macos/ipad. The ipad is the real stick in the mud and I don't want to deal with an icloud staging zone for everything else, or try to get icloud syncing on linux/android.
- nbaksalyar 1y ago> you want your vault accessible across linux/windows/android/macos/ipad For that, I use Syncthing [1] in addition to iCloud. It works exceptionally well – I see my edits in real time across different devices. [1] https://syncthing.net/ https://syncthing.net/
