Hi,
I have folders with old Scrivener projects as archives, in iCloud, where I do not use them (only use Scrivener with DropBox), and they appear as Scrivener projects, with the correct icon, both on my two computers and in iCloud via browser (Safari).
I made copies of recent Scrivener projects which are in my DropBox folder (tried with save as, or with duplicate), they appear as Scrivener projects on my two computers, with correct icon, but as folders, with a folder icon, in iCloud on Safari. And there, it doesn’t show a possibility to download them, as you can only download files from iCloud with browser.
Has anybody an explanation to this, and a solution?
I’m not sure what requires a solution here. If they appear as functioning Scrivener projects on your computers, then they have already been made available to the local system.
Also, a Scrivener project is a folder. Mac OS shows it as a single object, but the underlying structure is what you see in Safari. (And also what you would see if you used a browser to visit your Dropbox account.)
Hi Kewms, thank you for your reply. All the files are fully functional on my computers, appear as files with Scrivener icons, and I understand that a Scrivener Project is a folder. But I wonder why just some of them appear as folders. All of them are correctly closed, and they also appear correctly as files when they are in DropBox.
Best regards,
Fred
That would be a question for Apple. Scrivener saves the project directly to the local hard drive. What happens to it after that is not under our control.
