You want to be able to go back and forth among chapters and sections with ease. That way, wherever you take your trusty laptop, it’s with you.Įvery time you open that file, you want all of this content to be available to you. Its finished form will have twenty-six chapters and thousands of illustrations, and will require you to keep close at hand many thousands of research sources.Īnd you want to keep it all in one file. Say you’re an academic, writing a massive textbook.

In fact, those who use the Windows version of Scrivener see its “files” appear on that OS’s File Explorer as, yep, ZIPs. Through some clever little manipulation of the macOS file structure, it looks like a file in the macOS Finder.

YES, the Scrivener app for macOS can be used with iCloud sync BETWEEN MACS if you have TURNED OFF “Optimize Mac Storage” in each Mac’s iCloud setup.Ī Scrivener. NO, the Scrivener app for iOS DOESN’T work with iCloud sync, just as has been the case since that app’s release in 2016. Yes, this stuff is on the L&L site and in plenty of places elsewhere but, as that one commenter’s seemingly well-intentioned statements make clear, it’s still not clearly understood. So, let me say the simple part first, and then I’ll get into the whys and wherefores. And it would seem that neither of you ever looks at the Literature and Latte forums, where this sore subject comes up far too often for the good of the nice L&L people’s collective blood pressure, I’d guess. Well, sir, your friend done you wrong, I’m here to tell ya.

Scrivener added iCloud sync a while back. (Don’t know exactly when, because I missed it too, but a friend pointed it out.) Scrivener iOS added iCloud syncing a while ago. or this response to someone else’s wishes that Scrivener didn’t depend on Dropbox. Used to be I had some other apps that were reliant on Dropbox, but I think they’ve all added their own cloud (1Password) or now work with iCloud or Google Drive (Scrivener), so I think I can ditch Dropbox. However, what suddenly had me wanting to raise my hand and yell, “Ooh, ooh! Teacher!" 2 was when I saw one particular commenter saying: (I’ll get to the particulars in a bit, but stay with me for the moment.)Ī few did register just such comments. I was curious to see how many of them would note that, as had been true for me, they’d kept it as at least a background cloud sync vendor only because of specific apps-like Scrivener-known to require Dropbox for cloud sync among multiple types of devices.

No, what got me on this particular jag is what I saw as I combed through the article’s many reader comments as various folks mentioned how this would be their last straw with Dropbox, also. But that’s not what I’m writing about here. As I mentioned in a footnote to a recent post, it was the last straw that made me finally drop my last remaining ties to Dropbox. It all started yesterday, when I was looking through an Ars Technica article from back when Dropbox implemented its ill-considered change to how Dropbox works on the desktop. So, on the chance that this unexpected sighting of wrong-Ars 1 statements means there are numerous otherwise-well-informed individuals in the wild spreading the same tainted info, I’m Here To Help. Yet, I recently found a commenter there wielding highly erroneous information concerning that rare thing about which I know enough to say, “Uh, no”-specifically, how the writing app, Scrivener, does and doesn’t work where cloud sync is concerned. However, there are tech sites where I’ve usually found the visitors, even when hacked and for good reason, not only are (mostly) pleasant to read but also have their facts straight.Īrs Technica is one of those special, all-too-rare places. It can be hard on one’s psyche to visit the comments sections of many tech-oriented websites, particularly when people are in a nasty mood about something, and most particularly when the trolls come out brandishing their typical “I-hate-this-and-Imma-gonna-tell-ya-why-for-the-millionth-time-with-what-I-consider-to-be-my-clever-wit” approach.
