Faster availability of attached PDFs

Post by eric_l »

Hi there,

Just to start by saying how great I think Bookend is.

About a year ago I swapped from Wi-Fi sync to iCloud sync. I use Bookends on my Macs, iPad and iPhone and iCloud sync is very convenient in terms of me not needing to remember to sync and managing the memory being used on the phone but on the other hand the PDFs can be slow to load. I do have a relatively large library 7,600 PDFs. On the iOS/iPadOS app, attachments will appear when I click the paper clip icon but it can take up to an hour. Is there a way of increasing the speed of downloading of attached files? It doesn't seem to be correlated with Wi-Fi speed.

Hi Eric,

I would like to check this issue once again. As I remember we couldn't speed up attachments downloading, as we can only send a request to iOS to download the file. But I would like to test if we can ask for this action more often, and if this improves anything. If you would like to help testing this on your large library later when the test build is ready please DM me your email.
