How to Use iCloud to Sync an infolio Knowledge Base
A setup checklist for using iCloud as an infolio sync source: Apple Account, iCloud Drive, device sync settings, storage capacity, network state, and recovery testing.
Quick answer
iCloud is a low-maintenance sync choice for people who mainly use Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Before using it with infolio, confirm every device uses the same Apple Account, iCloud Drive is enabled, and iCloud storage has enough room.
Steps
Confirm every device uses the same Apple Account
iCloud sync depends on the Apple Account and device-level iCloud settings. Confirm that your Mac, iPhone, and iPad are signed into the same Apple Account before you treat iCloud as your sync route.
- Check that primary devices use the same Apple Account.
- Confirm the account and two-factor authentication are healthy.
- Do not mix one knowledge base across different Apple Accounts.
Enable iCloud Drive and check storage
Apple documents that files and folders stored in iCloud Drive stay up to date across devices. Before configuring infolio, make sure iCloud Drive is enabled and has enough available storage.
- Enable iCloud Drive in system settings.
- Check available iCloud storage.
- Wait for system-level sync before judging whether app sync worked.
Select iCloud as the infolio sync source
Choose iCloud in infolio sync settings and follow the in-product prompts. Start with a small knowledge base so you can confirm documents, workspaces, and whiteboards move as expected.
- Test with a small amount of data first.
- Avoid large edits on multiple devices at the same time during setup.
- Confirm infolio has the file access permissions requested by the system.
Keep sensitive material inside vaults
iCloud moves data between devices, but it does not mean every record belongs in ordinary notes. Passwords, IDs, keys, and private records should stay inside infolio vaults.
- Move sensitive records into vaults.
- Use ordinary documents for searchable, non-sensitive material.
- Do not store Apple Account recovery details in plain notes.
Verify recovery on another Apple device
After setup, open infolio on another Apple device using the same iCloud sync source. Confirm documents, whiteboards, workspaces, and vault access recover before relying on the setup long term.
- Confirm documents, whiteboards, and workspaces recover.
- Confirm vault access and device authentication still work.
- Review iCloud storage and sync state periodically.

FAQ
Is iCloud sync a good fit if I do not mainly use Apple devices?
Usually not. If Apple devices are not your main workflow, evaluate the official cloud or a custom object-storage sync source instead.
What should I check first when iCloud sync looks stuck?
Check the Apple Account, iCloud Drive setting, available storage, network state, and system permissions before assuming the issue is inside infolio.
