    Hi Brendan
    Will you be posting a ‘how to’ for those who upgrade to both and use iCloudDrive so that sync continues OK??? I’m sure it would help lots of people – including me!

    Hi Tony,

    Well it shouldn’t be any different than it already has been. It should just work. If you have trouble seeing other devices, I always recommend a reboot and/or logoff of iCloud and then log back in again. And then to just give your devices and Apple’s servers some time to finish syncing all their files. Then give Tap Forms sync a try again.

    Thanks,

    Brendan

    So transfer of user data from iCloud to iCloud Drive (or are they the same thing which I doubt) happens automatically as long as all machines have Yosemite or IOS8?

    Hi Tony,

    As soon as you enable iCloud Drive on ONE device, the data that was once stored in Documents & Data (aka Documents in the Cloud) will be migrated over to iCloud Drive. iOS 7 and Mavericks and prior OS versions all used Documents & Data. iOS 8 and Yosemite use iCloud Drive to store files. So your data gets migrated as a one-time operation. Once Yosemite is available you’ll be able to sync again with your Mac because Yosemite knows about iCloud Drive. Mavericks and iOS 7 don’t.

    Thanks!

    Hi Alexander,

    You will only be able to sync across iOS devices if you’ve enabled iCloud Drive. It’s not a device specific issue. It’s an iCloud account issue. Once you’ve upgraded one device to use iOS 8’s iCloud Drive, no other device older than iOS 8 and Yosemite can sync.

    hi Brendan, I got it, thanks.

    Upgrading device h/w to support iOS 8 is the best way to support sync among devices.

    Thanks.
