iOS doesn't sync anymore with Mac
Posted: Fri Jul 06, 2018 4:37 am
I sync my Mac and iOS via Dropbox.
The sync generally works well. Lately I started to have issues every once in a while. Generally they were caused by minor issues I was able to debug. Sadly, the error reporting around sync errors is lacking details. One time I was via VPN and apparently iOS refused to connect to Dropbox. Another time was the issue I reported with case sensitivity.
Anyways, long story short, I've been trying to understand what's going on this time but with no luck. I've tried most common things (such as create a site or dive to force a refresh), turned on/off sync.
But nothing. I have several changes I made on Mac and I can't get them to iOS. To be honest, I'm not even sure if it's the Mac not pushing the updates to Dropbox, or iOS not loading them. It seems to be the first case, but I have no idea.
Is there a sync log I can read to try to understand the issue? Any hint?
I know my reporting is quite vague this time, but I have literally no error to provide, nor details. In both cases the sync process completes successfully, but the data doesn't sync.
