Hello, I'm new here, looking for note taking alternatives. I see that Joplin syncs via several way but not iCloud, and no comments were found before about this in this forum. I can imagine the reason, but I want to open a new feature discussion if you like :slight_smile:

Apple once again tries to lock people in with their ecosystem. Unfortunately there’s nothing we can do. You as a customer can complain to Apple that WebDAV access does not work. But as with all complaints to Apple, this will go straight to /dev/null. With Apple there are only 2 choices: live wit…

Yes I don’t see iCloud support ever happen unfortunately. We don’t even have support for Google Drive, which would be a lot easier to implement and would work on all platforms.

In addition, Windows users can still use iCloud Drive. :grin:

Hey there, I am using pCloud as an alternative to iCloud, Dropbox etc. Would it be possible to implement the option to select a certain folder in pCloud (say, “.Joplin”) as the synchronization target? I guess there are many alternatives to DropBox out there, some of which will work well on Apple …

I use pCloud and access it using WebDAV. You just need to add the append the folder name to the WebDAV address and you are good to go.

@dpoulton had a good comment about this the other day. [image] Specify particular path to OwnCloud using WedDAV exclamation_question_markSupport In Owncloud create a "Joplin" folder off the root and add that to the webdav file path. It doesn't have to be "Jopli…

Thanks for the quick reply. Sorry if I am slow here – so, in Joplin on the iPad, in Configuration -> Synchronization, I choose as Sychronization target “WebDAV”. Then I put in the WebDAV URL the string: “ https://webdav.pcloud.com/Joplin ” (“Joplin” being the name of the pCloud folder I am synchroniz…

I would love to hear more about using pCloud for doing the sync. I’ve never gotten it to work and have only seen posts here about others not getting it to work either.

i’ve got 3 windows10 devices and 2 android devices all syncing to https://webdav.pcloud.com/Joplin without issues so i’m not sure i can help much. what kind of problems are you seeing? if your on nix instead of windows, can’t help you much there, sorry.

Thanks. I run Linux, but most of the reasons I’ve read for the sync not working point to pClouds implementation of webdav and not to the OS or Joplin. I just need to find a way to try a pCloud sync without losing my current data.

What about iCloud sync?
