Currently I'm in frustration again.\r\n\r\nI just did a clean install on my desktop mac on January 30th. It seems my syncing somehow stalled between the desktop and my laptop (using iCloud). On the fresh system, the Quiver library is dated February 2. On my laptop it's January 28.\r\n\r\nAfter I did a clean install, I went to Preferences > Sync > Open Another Library and selected the library on iCloud. It loaded fine. Since the 30th I've added a couple of changes and new items in Quiver on the desktop mac, but still my laptop is lagging behind by 5 days.\r\n\r\nOn the MacBook (which has the older stuff) I tried selecting the library on iCloud again (in the Preferences), but it still not syncing up. I tried modifying entries on both machines hoping that somehow the sync will kick in by sensing the changes. It's been near 40 minutes I'm playing with this but the sync is not happening.\r\n\r\nI do like Quiver a lot, but this syncing issue is just really frustrating. In my original post (above) someone pointed out to use Dropbox. Right. But I don't want to install yet another service for just a single use. All my stuff is syncing with iCloud, I see no point switching to Dropbox just for this. I really wish Quiver would sync with iCloud the way all other apps do (where I can go to the System Preferences > iCloud and I can select the apps what to sync) as opposed to the drive itself. This seems highly unreliable for some reason (...or I am just simply giving off really bad vibes and make Quiver fall into depression)\r\n\r\nQuiver 3.0 (66)\r\n\r\nMac mini late 2012\r\nEl Crapitan 10.11.3\r\n\r\nMacBook Pro early 2015\r\nYo Semite 10.10.5"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/HappenApps/Quiver/issues/comments/180665092","html_url":"https://github.com/HappenApps/Quiver/issues/425#issuecomment-180665092","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/HappenApps/Quiver/issues/425","id":180665092,"user":{"login":"ylian","id":984895,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/984895?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/ylian","html_url":"https://github.com/ylian","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ylian/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ylian/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ylian/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ylian/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ylian/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ylian/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ylian/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ylian/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ylian/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-02-06T03:23:22Z","updated_at":"2016-02-06T03:23:22Z","body":"I honestly have no idea why iCloud Drive doesn't sync properly. It should, and that's what iCloud Drive is designed to do.\r\n\r\nWhen I implemented syncing in Quiver 2, I made the design decision to store data as files, and rely on the cloud service to do the actual syncing. This is a simpler design and can support multiple cloud services with one implementation. Supporting iCloud (not iCloud Drive) like other apps would require a parallel implementation of all the data models and syncing logic, and that would make the implementations much more complicated.\r\n\r\nI try to keep things simple, so I can keep building Quiver without being overwhelmed by it. I am certainly not the best Mac developer out there (I learned all these in the last two years), so I apologize for not knowing how to fix this at the moment.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n"}}
