Storage location and sync

To make sure you store your files exactly where you want them, you can go ahead and set up a default storage location. If you're using MindNode on multiple devices, you can even keep your files up to date across all your devices by syncing them with iCloud. For the MindNode Plus subscription to work on all your devices, you'll have to enable iCloud.

iCloud Drive

Here’s how you can set your MindNode files to store and sync on your iCloud drive automatically:

In your Mac's System Preferences:

1. Go ahead and click on your Apple ID.
2. Make sure iCloud Drive is checked.
3. Now go to Options and make sure that MindNode is also checked.

In your iPhone/iPad's Settings:

1. Tap on your Apple ID account.
2. Select iCloud.
3. Make sure iCloud Drive is toggled on.
4. There, make sure MindNode is toggled on.
5. Next, go back to the first screen of the Settings app, scroll down until you find MindNode, and under file Storage select iCloud Drive.

When saving a new file, make sure to save it in the MindNode folder inside iCloud Drive. All changes you save will now be saved to iCloud Drive and available on your connected devices.

Other services

The great news is, you can also use third-party storage providers like Dropbox or Box to save your files. But there are a couple of things you'll have to set up and/or keep in mind to ensure you can save your MindNode as a supported file.

• On iOS, if you set one of these third parties as a storage location under MindNode in the Settings app, MindNode will automatically save your files in a compatible format.
• On your Mac, go ahead and open up the MindNode main menu at the top of your screen by clicking on MindNode, then go to Preferences. In General, under Default file Format, select Single File. Now MindNode will save your files as single files in the future. To change the file format of existing MindNode files, please go to File in the MindNode main menu at the top of your screen. There under Advanced > Change File Format > choose Single File.

Your subscription status (active, elapsed, etc.) will be synced to other devices via iCloud (tied to Apple ID). Unfortunately, this isn't possible if you're using another cloud service.
