Will not synch via iCloud or Dropbox – MacJournal for iPhone Review
Despite their claims, MacJournal cannot be synched via iCloud or Dropbox. Mariner Software has MacJournal synching instructions which were posted on its website in 2012. The instructions are wrong. Specifically:
8. On your Mac, locate your main MacJournal document
9. Move your main MacJournal document (or any other documents you wish to
share via Dropbox) into Dropbox/Apps/MacJournal/
This does not work.
When the MacJournal original document is dragged over to the Dropbox location, an *alias* of the MacJournal document is created. The original document does not go.
And then, even if you were able to sync (which you can't) MacJournal instructs you:
"As a precuation(sic), never have the same Mac Journal document open in two
places at the same time. Always make sure to quit the app or close the file
when you are done working with it before you acccess(sic) the file from another
device."
So *if* you could sync (and you can't) you'd be relaunching and launching the
app on one of your devices throughout the day and then opening all the windows you had open originally every time you wanted to sync across devices.
