Jamovi file inaccessible from macOS iCloud
Posted: Mon Jul 06, 2020 10:36 am
Hi,
I found that I could not open .omv files and after a bit of head-scratching discovered that I could if I moved them from my ~/iCloud/Documents to my local drive, I could.
I haven't tested but I seem to remember that working with Jamovi files in Dropbox was fine.
So my thoughts are that there's a limitation, not with cloud-based files in general, but with iCloud in particular. I believe that Dropbox and iCloud work differently: Dropbox (unless you arrange things otherwise) keeps files locally and syncs to its servers, whereas iCloud mirrors files locally to its server.
Has anyone else noticed this limitation?
Thanks, Jasper
