EssentialParadox Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff DWright Posted December 6, 2017 Staff Share Posted December 6, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialParadox Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Affinity-Inspiration Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 An old question, but a good one. Is there an answer? On 12/6/2017 at 2:14 PM, EssentialParadox said: Thanks.

Once a 'copy' has been saved, when you open the 'saved' copy a new menu item (Save Documents) appears in the Documents menu.

EssentialParadox Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Thanks for the image examples DM1. Using this route, does it automatically update the iCloud file or does it still need manually saving each time? I’m still a bit confused about how it works with iCloud.

DM1 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 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. Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).
