How do I sync with iCloud cloud storage?

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.
