Initial synch on new iPad

Post by FlaParrotHead »

Moved to correct forum…

A new iPad, clean install of MacDive and it hangs at 1% on trying to synch from Dropbox. The iPad had Dropbox access via the app and browser.

What am I missing? Thanks!

@nick

Can I please get some help getting this working on a new device. Dropbox synch just hangs at 1%, no errors and the device is authorized for Dropbox. Thanks!

Switch to iCloud sync. Dropbox sync is broken since iOS 18.0. I already reported it, but unfortunately there is no follow up. I had the same issue, it started when I bought a new iPhone that was shipped with iOS 18 already. I was forced to migrate from Dropbox to iCloud.

I think this may be a general issue with Dropbox integration in the newer iOS version. I also have another app that syncs with Dropbox, and it stopped working as well.

The problem with iCloud synch is that it does not let my wife and I see each others dives since hers synch to her cloud and mine to my own.

IF we could configure a shared iCloud account (which iDevices allow, we use it for contacts for example) then this would be a great alternative.
