Re: Dropbox Sync (migrating from Sente)

Here is a link about Files app.
Yes, files from dropbox can be deleted. There are not any copies, just original files are stored in the iCloud Drive/Bookends folder and synced across all your devices.

Re: Dropbox Sync (migrating from Sente)

Bookends Wi-Fi Sync: if you send me your Bookends library to bookendsontap@sonnysoftware.com and I will try to sync it locally to see if the problem is reproducible.

Autocomplete reference from the imported PDF (if doi or isbn can be parsed from the pdf) is planned in a future update.

Re: iCloud Drive questions

The example I gave you for “import a pdf from any app” was just to send a temporary file to iCloud Drive to “unlock” (create) the special type of iCloud Drive folder. Starting from Bookends 3.2.5 - it’s not necessary. Now that you have “Bookends folder with icon” on both macOS and iOS, all you shoul...

But if you are using Bookends 3.2.4 or later this step should be automated by the app itself (it puts “Bookends Clo...

We have contacted Apple Dev support about this problem. Either Apple will have to fix it or, If there is a solutio...

Re: What is "normal" iCloud syncing behavior?

1Password is another app using CloudKit “outside of the Mac App Strore”. With the same re-login problem (authentication token expires every 8 hours) and the same conclusion that, unfortunately “it isn’t something we have control over. iCloud authentication is handled solely by Apple”.

Yes, I agree, in case of any sync error we will not suspend sync automatically and will show an error description message with choices “Continue” and “Suspend Sync”.

Re: auto-sync upon launch?

Yes, sync should start automatically on app launch and close. In case of some problems with syncing (including problems with internet) sync will be suspended and you should initiate it manually.
