How do I sync with iCloud cloud storage?
How can I set up iCloud to sync files across devices?
NOTE: This video shows a slightly older user interface but the instructions are still accurate.
TIP: Although iCloud Drive is built in to your Apple devices and works well, we recommend Dropbox because it has version controlled sharing, which creates a new restorable file after each save instance. iCloud does not offer this backup.
NOTE: Cloud Storage is an Industry Pro feature.
iPad / iPhone Setup
Start by tapping the File Browser on the top toolbar:
Under the Connection's heading tap iCloud. You will already be logged in to the iCloud account associated with your device's Apple ID;
TIP: If you don't know which Apple ID is logged in, go to the Apple Settings window.
Move or copy your local files into iCloud. This automatically creates back-ups that you'll need if anything happens to your device.
NOTE: The Move command is limited to single files. To relocate multiple files or folders, use Copy.
NOTE: Files stored in the On My iPad / iPhone folder are saved only on that device and are NOT synced to iCloud.
Mac Setup
CLick the 3-bar icon at the upper left of the screen to display the File Browser;
Click Select File...
...to display a Finder window. Navigate to iCloud > Scriptation to access the Scriptation documents stored in your online iCloud account.
IMPORTANT: Scriptation automatically generates a subfolder inside iCloud. It's ONLY this Scriptation folder that syncs to iOS devices.
DON'T FORGET: If your scripts are saved locally (Desktop, Downloads, etc.) you will not be able to access them on other devices. The files must be moved into iCloud's Scriptation subfolder.
