I've read the Bookends manual, but it doesn't mention much about the iOS app.ĮDIT: I've tried to set the attachment folder to the "iCloud Folder for iOS sync" in desktop Bookends app, but this doesn't seem to make a difference. Do I need to now remove the attachments from within my Dropbox folder, or can I leave them there? How can I get the library synchronised on the iPad?Ģ.

Is this because the library on my iPad did not contain all of the PDFs? Is there a way to use the Desktop software to upload the attachments to iCloud? And then I assume the iPad could download them from iCloud.ġ. When checking iCloud storage usage via my Mac, 661MB is being used by Bookends, but this is no longer increasing (my attachment folder visible in the finder is 3.5 GB). My ref database appears to list all of the required references, but many do not have viewable attachments. I have initiated the cloud sync from the iOS app.but I can't tell if this working, or if it has finished.

So, I now just upgrading the iOS app to Pro subscription, and also increased my iCloud storage quota to make space for references on iCloud. Moreover, back at work today with the iPad and I can't get Wifi sync to work at all across my Uni network. It may be doing something (very slowly), but I can't tell. However, whenever I tried to Wifi sync the entire library, the iPad appears to stall. At home I managed to use Wifi Sync to pull across about 1/6th of my library (500/3000 refs) from an iMac. The next job is getting an iPad synchronising. I have cloud sync up and running between two Macs now - using iCloud for the library, and Dropbox for the attachments.Īfter a small hiccup that Jon helped me sort out (required a "Force Sync" ), the two machines seem to be nicely in sync. But yes there are some things Sente did that Bookends doesn't (or they do differently). I think you'll find that Bookends does many things that Sente doesn't, actually.
We strongly recommend that you use Bookends cloud sync, which is much faster, transmits only changes that need to be updated, is independent of your local database internal schema, and which is compatible with Bookends for iOS. There is no advantage to using both, and there is the possibility that there could be some unexpected conflict if both are operating at once. That is, use one or the other (Bookends cloud sync or Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, etc.). We say you shouldn't use *both* at the same time.įor users who previously used a file-sync service like Dropbox to sync your libraries, note that you should not combine cloud- and file-sync. You can use Dropbox or iCloud to sync the database, although we strongly recommend the latter (the former can occasionally cause problems with file collision). A minor annoyance of mine has also disappeared: Bookends opens *way* faster than Sente! But Bookends seems to do at least 90% of what I used Sente for. When I discovered that Sente was no longer syncing and looks to be discontinued, it filled me with dread. Hopefully, when I arrive at work tomorrow, I can log into iCloud on my office computer and the database should link/sync.

I've now managed to import my SenteXML library into Bookends, I have moved/linked the PDF attachment library inside Dropbox, and I have the new BE database file inside Application Support, and iCloud turned on. If that is not the case (as you indicate in your post), then I think the text could be made clearer. I was a bit confused in the user guide, because I interpreted it to mean that I could use Dropbox *or* iCloud to sync the library. There are at least two fellow academics in my Centre that also currently use Sente. I've got this sorted now (I think), and just purchased a licence.
