Are Affinity files saved in the cloud or only locally?


Recommended Posts

Are my Affinity documents I’ve been creating stored in the cloud or are they just stored locally? Basically, if my iPad was stolen tomorrow, would there be any way I could access my Affinity projects? If the answer’s “no”, is there a way I can sync my projects with iCloud?

 

If I do a search in iOS Files in iCloud I can see an “Affinity” folder but it’s empty of any files.

An old question, but a good one. Is there an answer?

Thanks. Does that approach sync future edits with the iCloud copy? Or do I have to “save a copy” every time I’ve made an edit?

By default Affinity Photo saves locally to your iPad, to save to your iCloud account please use the Save A Copy and then choose either the Affinity Photo folder or any other location on your iCloud account

Or in Affinity Settings choose default 'Save to iCloud Drive'. Once a 'copy' has been saved, when you open the 'saved' copy a new menu item (Save Documents) appears in the Documents menu.

If you use ‘ Open from Cloud' (instead ‘ Import from Cloud'), the original file will be updated by the 'Save' menu. If you use 'import' , make edits and Save, you will save a 'new' copy containing the edits. Hope that clarifies it. :)
