immediate future.</p>
<p>The reason is that CloudKit, the new iCloud technology we are
using, is actually much better than Dropbox for what we need it
for. We really only added Dropbox previously because the older
iCloud was not very good.</p>
<p>Our experience with CloudKit is that it is much faster and more
stable than Dropbox, and every Apple owner has an iCloud
account.</p>
<p>Is there a particular reason you would like Dropbox? Have you
tried the current CloudKit sync?</p>
<p>Kind regards,<br>

already has a subscription for Dropbox which I can used with other
apps too.<br>
Thanx</p>

iPad provided by work (using my appleID) and it is their policy to
disable iCloud Drive on the iPads. I've asked them if they can
enable it and they said no. The only option I have is to make
import Studies Archives which would be fine if I had no need to add
extra notes to each subject. I use the Mac to create notes with
pictures and audio because it is 10 times easier than doing it on
the iPad. So if I add notes to a subject then export from the Mac
then import to the iPad then I lose study history data.<br>
So please bring back some other form of syncing (Dropbox, wifi,
etc)</p></div>Evantag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/399913642016-09-01T08:54:19Z2016-09-01T08:54:19ZRe: Dropbox sync<div><p>Ugh, that is a pretty horrible policy.</p>
<p>What is their policy on Dropbox? Can imagine if they don’t
like storing data in iCloud, Dropbox would be just as bad.</p>

Drive but can't disable third party apps that have storage
features. I have Google Drive and Dropbox nstalled which function
perfectly.</p></div>Evan
