I understand what @matt is saying here but I would not trust Apple to handle the data store/sync for my production files in any capacity. It isn’t just sync, it’s making sure that the storage would be adequately managed too. Never. Absolutely never. I trust Adobe to do this (and they bought Frame.io), not Apple. https://isfeeling.social/@matt/110339307669743329

@[email protected] I was really hoping this would involve some sort of cloud storage for projects so you could more easily work on a Mac, switch to the iPad, and then back to the Mac with all your changes synced across both versions. Maybe down the road.

@film_girl @matt I’ve never had issues with iCloud and have found all backups and restores of my devices to be rock solid. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@ngorby @matt for me it is not at all reliable for fast enough for things like video edits. I do agree it would be nice if project metadata could transfer over but I wouldn’t trust it to just work, sadly.

@film_girl I totally get that. I’ve never used it to transfer or rely on backing up large docs. Just text based docs and photos. To be fair, I am not pushing it to its absolute limit.

@film_girl @ngorby @matt iCloud Drive has worked well for me since a couple years into its inception, but apps that rely on CloudKit tend to be hit-or-miss (including Apple's own apps). The inconsistency is still scary enough that I agree with Christina here; even though I use iCloud as much as possible myself, your professional work is a whole other ball game.
