Sync Scriptation files across your iPad, iPhone, and Mac through your existing iCloud account — no extra sign-in required, since you're already logged in via your Apple ID.
📝 NOTE: This video shows a slightly older user interface, but the instructions are still accurate.
✅ TIP: Although iCloud works well, Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive offer version-controlled saving, which creates a new restorable copy after every save. iCloud doesn't offer this backup.
📝 NOTE: Cloud Storage is an Industry Pro feature.
iPad / iPhone setup
- Tap the File Browser on the Top Toolbar:
- Under Connections, tap iCloud. You're already logged in to the iCloud account associated with your device's Apple ID;
✅ TIP: If you don't know which Apple ID is signed in, open the Apple Settings app to check.
- Move or copy your local files into iCloud. This creates automatic backups in case anything happens to your device.
📝 NOTE: Move is limited to single files. To relocate multiple files or folders, use Copy.
📝 NOTE: Files stored in On My iPad / On My iPhone only exist on that device and are NOT synced to iCloud.
Mac setup
- Click the three-bar icon at the upper left of the screen to open the File Browser;
- Click Select File…
- A Finder window opens. Navigate to iCloud → Scriptation to access the Scriptation documents stored in your iCloud account:
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Scriptation automatically creates a Scriptation subfolder inside iCloud Drive. Only files inside that Scriptation subfolder sync to your iOS devices.
⚠️ DON'T FORGET: If your scripts are saved locally (Desktop, Downloads, etc.), you won't be able to access them on other devices. Move the files into iCloud's Scriptation subfolder.
✅ TIP: There's no separate password or account sign-in required for iCloud syncing — it runs entirely through the Apple ID you're already signed into on each device. If you're prompted to sign in to a "Scriptation account," that's a separate, optional feature tied to AI Voices and isn't required for iCloud file syncing. See How do I sign in to my Scriptation account? for more details.
