GenewalDesign Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I want to open my files stored in the cloud (Google Drive), but all .afdesign files are greyed out when browsing the "open" menu in iPad app. Common issue for Google Drive users?

Yup, google drive is the worst cloud storage. The other major services, iCloud, Onedrive, Dropbox are fine but the google (the evil empire 😂) not so well.

capsLOCK Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Are there any plans to fix this or is it a Google/iPad issue? I'm having the same issues and have to 'Open In' from the Google Drive app but this then creates a copy of the file which isn't what I want.

All we know at this point is it's been logged as an issue for the Developers to deal with somehow. We can tell that from the bug tag on the topic: AFB-5168. They do not tell us their prioritization of fixes, but when it is fixed (or if they decide it is not going to be fixed) one of the Serif staff should respond here at that time.

Paul Mudditt Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I don’t think there is anything Serif can do on this, it is Google who need to make their software more Apple compatible. All the other cloud providers interface properly with the files app, google doesn’t last time I looked. Quote My dad always told me, a bad workman always blames their tools….

nomad5 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Yes, this has been driving me a little nuts as I have been working on multiple platforms and I would like to remain using Google Drive. It seems there is a workaround and the bug isn't isolated to just the Affinity products, the steps on the following link work like a charm! https://www.vernier.com/til/15164 Dan C, pruus and GenewalDesign 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, @nomad5, and thanks for that useful tip! I can confirm that it just worked for me.
