Cloud Services Windows

Having access to your documents on multiple devices makes life easier.

Here is a quick look at working with compatible cloud storage providers in iA Writer for Windows.

Adding Cloud Storage

Open the left panel (Library) of iA Writer with Ctrl+E. Click on Add to Library at the bottom-left and then choose Add folder to the Library.

Supported storage folders (both cloud and local) will be displayed in a popup window allowing you to select and add to your Library.

OneDrive

OneDrive is Microsoft’s built-in cloud storage. It is usually preinstalled on your PC, so it may be your first choice.

iCloud for Windows

If you are using iA Writer on Apple products, chances are iCloud Drive is your primary storage.

The good news is you can keep using this storage provider on your PC by downloading iCloud for Windows.

Note that older versions of iCloud for Windows suffer from a number of compatibility issues. Updating to the most recent version of iCloud for Windows before adding iCloud folders to Writer is highly recommended. You can find the most recent version here: https://support.apple.com/HT204283

Dropbox

Effortlessly sync your documents using Dropbox. As long as you have an internet connection, any documents stored in Dropbox will be synced automatically.

Google Drive

iA Writer for Windows supports linking Google Drive in the same intuitive manner as Dropbox.

Potential Issues

An internet connection is required to access or synchronize files stored in cloud locations. Please ensure that your device has a proper internet connection.
