iCloud exact storage place

[Zamil Alossaimi]

I wonder where exactly the forms are stored in the icloude.?

Hi Zamil,

I use CloudKit for syncing in Tap Forms 5. CloudKit is Apple’s database in the cloud. It’s not the same as your iCloud Drive storage space. So there’s no place you can go to look at your data online outside of Tap Forms. Well, not unless you’re a registered Apple developer.

Thanks,

Brendan

Thank you, I am.

Well I’m not sure if you’ll be able to see it, but look in the CloudKit Dashboard for a tapzapp reference. I don’t know if it shows up for anyone else other than me. But I can login to my own dashboard and see my record zones and see the data. Although each record is stored as an NSData archived property list, so it’s not like viewing the data in a nice tabular format. You can only see the data by downloading the plist and opening it up in a text editor such as TextWrangler or BBEdit.

How secure is the data in this icloud, is it encrypted.?

Hi Zamil,

Apple encrypts all data in transit and stored on their servers in your iCloud account.
