What issue do you have?

Hello, I would like to stop using Dropbox for syncing my iphone, windows desktop, and ipad, and switch to Joplin Sync. Has there been an easy guide or step by step instructions written on how to do this?

Thank you

This advice is some years old and refers to a different target, but switching from service A to B seems to be rather straightforward:

[SOLVED] How can one migrate the data from one provider to another?

Say I store my data on DropBox and I want to move to OneDrive. How do I do it as painless as possible?

There seems to be a limitation concerning E2EE, however (in case you've already turned it on):

Joplin Cloud E2ee for notes

I think that may be a limitation of the app when switching sync targets while e2ee is enabled. It takes the encryption status from the sync target, which in this case is new and thus with e2ee disabled, so it also ends up disabling it in devices. I will check and see how that can be improved For it to work you need to enable it in one of the device (preferably on desktop because it's faster) and then sync again. Once that's done you may also need to sync your other devices
