Alternative syncing method

Was going to second this. iCloud Drive has been disabled on my work laptop which means syncing Anybox between it and my phone doesn't work. It would be amazing if there was a way to rig up some other kind of solution.

Ben Silverman Same here. I can use Dropbox (file folder) but not iCloud even if I am signed it. Sadly, I am going to have to look for an alternative.

Yes, similar use case. Can't use it in my work laptop due to this.

Varun Rayen: I believe if you can log in your Apple ID on your work laptop, you can use Anybox in macOS Sonoma. I will have to confirm it’s the case. But WWDC 2023 suggested this.

Anybox it tightly coupled with CoreData + CloudKit. Another syncing method basically means rewrite the infrastructure, which is not affordable for a single-man team.
Also, it will bring privacy concerns.

iCloud syncing is a big reason I'm using Anybox.
I'd personally prefer to NOT have Google or Dropbox SDKs in the app, if for no other reason that I don't trust third-party SDKs and what they do "behind the scenes". So if it's possible to support "alternative sync methods" without SDKs, then fine, otherwise please try to minimize third-party SDKs.

Big plus one to this! Alternative to icloud drive would be helpful, even if it was less frequent (ie. Google Drive or DropBox storage)
