I know this is not very helpful - but when things go wrong there is no point calling the developer. This is all ‘by design’ (from Apple) in the name of privacy and security. The app has no idea where its documents are coming from (or going to.) The app has no visibility or control over when, how or if a document is synced. The iOS Document Picker hides everything from the application. There is no way to control or determine this. I’ve seen it happen in seconds and I’ve seen it happen in hours. Apple will sync when Apple is ready to sync. If you’re using the iOS document picker approach - there is no definition. Will look in the iThoughts System Settings to decide if it can sync when on a cellular connection (and so costs money)

Will download remote changes each time the app is launched (but only if it’s been at least 2 minutes since it last tried.) Will upload local changes each time you switch away from the app. If you’re using the Linked Folder approach then the rules are: So you should EITHER use the Linked Folders (in the On my iPad Location) OR use the Dropbox Location - but NOT BOTH. The problem is that this totally confuses my built in syncing logic - resulting in lots of ‘conflicts’ (duplicate files) being created. Why wouldn’t you - it’s arguably quicker and more obvious. OK, so you’ve got some linked folders configured syncing nicely with Dropbox? You might now be tempted to use the Dropbox Location in the iOS Document Picker to open/create maps. I wouldn’t recommend starting to use them now - but if you did want to then you can enable the option in the System Settings for iThoughts (scroll to the bottom and enable ‘Legacy Sync’.) The clue’s in the name… Finally the REALLY confusing bit… If you don’t see the Cloud option, it means you didn’t have Linked Folders configured previously. If you edit/create maps in these folders then they will continue to sync as before (indeed, the syncing should be even faster now since it’s done in the background!) If you want to change the configuration of the Linked Folders then close all maps and tap on the Gear toolbar item - where you’ll see a ‘Cloud’ option.

There is nothing (visually) to distinguish them as linked folders - but I would hope you’d recognise them as such by their name and contents. If you had Linked Folders configured prior to updating to v7 then they will still be configured (and syncing.) You will find them in the ‘On my iPad’ location in the document picker.

Prior to using the iOS Document Picker, iThoughts had its own document picker and built in syncing logic - called ‘Linked Folders’ (which would sync to Dropbox or WebDAV.) This syncing logic was really rather powerful - it could sync multiple formats simultaneously to multiple accounts - and many people relied on it. Summary: Don’t even think about syncing - just navigate to a Location (Dropbox, OneDrive etc) and open/create the map.
