My desktop and MacBook does not seem to sync. They both setup for iCloud Drive syncing. I've noticed that two computers can fall out of sync quite fast. I am not sure if this is an iCloud Drive issue or a Quiver issue.\r\n\r\nI use a desktop Mac and a MacBook. Both computers running.\r\n\r\n1. Open Quiver on the desktop and add/modify a notebook/item.\r\n2. Close Quiver.\r\n3. Open Quiver on the MacBook and add/modify a notebook/item.\r\n\r\nI am not sure if there's a sync interval between Quiver an iCloud Drive, but the entries I've added on the desktop are not showing up on the MacBook.\r\n\r\n1. Wait a while.\r\n2. Open Quiver on the MacBook.\r\n3. If you are lucky, after a waiting period, the changes you made on the desktop will be synced to the MacBook. But for some reason, it seems this does not happen at times. Not sure if this is an iCloud Drive issue.\r\n\r\nHowever, it seems the Trash items are not syncing either. This gets interesting when trashed items have tags, and the tag is used only by the item that is in the trash.\r\n\r\n1. Create an item on the desktop and assign a tag to it.\r\n2. Do whatever is necessary (eg wait, etc) until this item along with the tag syncs to the MacBook as well.\r\n3. Close Quiver on the desktop.\r\n4. Delete the new item on the MacBook. This will simply move the item to the Trash and the tag still on the Tag list.\r\n5. Empty the Trash. This gets rid of the item in the trash.\r\n6. Close Quiver on the MacBook.\r\n7. Open Quiver on the desktop and quickly delete the item you created in step #1 above. This will simply move the item to the Trash. DO NOT empty the trash!\r\n8. Close Quiver.\r\n9. Open Quiver on the MacBook. The item you placed to the Trash on the desktop is not synced. This is probably intentional, but now notice the tag you crated in step #1 is not showing on the MacBook, but it does showing on the desktop!\r\n10. Close Quiver on the MacBook.\r\n11. Recover the item from the Trash on the desktop.\r\n\r\nAt this point, everything just goes downhill. Now you have restored the item from the Trash on the desktop (and it has a tag assigned). On the MacBook, however, this item will not sync. So now you are 1 item and 1 tag behind!\r\n\r\nYou can do all sorts of variations on the above, to make sync somehow break. I've also tried to...\r\n\r\n1. On the MacBook, go to Preferences > Sync and select \"Open Another Library\". This is in attempt to pull in the extra item with the tag that you have restored from the Trash on the desktop machine.\r\n2. Now you get a dialog box saying that the modification are not in sync and you have to chose which one to keep.\r\n\r\nHere's the problem. If you are not using Quiver for a few days (or weeks), you forget what have you done the last time and on which machine - despite the dates in this dialog box. Eventually it leads to problems down the road that your library will fall out of sync big time and you will have to keep figuring out which is the latest one.\r\n\r\nI also have the app called \"SnippetsLab\" which is very similar to Quiver. That app using iCloud sync - as opposed to iCloud Drive sync. Not really sure what the difference is, but when you go to the iCloud System Preferences, you can see \"SnippetsLab\" showing up on the list. However, because Quiver is syncing via iCloud Drive, somehow that's a different sync method and so Quiver does not showing up under the iCloud System Preferences list.\r\n\r\nI've tried the same game with SnippetsLab, but that does not seem to exhibit the above mentioned issues. So it seems that there are indeed differences between the two sync methods. Using the iCloud sync (that is used by SnippetsLab), the changes are close to immediate on both machines, so my notes are in sync. In Quiver, however, they can fall out of sync fast - possibly because of the iCloud Drive sync method.\r\n\r\n(...sorry for the long post...)"}}
