not thousands of dollars (a new Air costs $999). To buy a MacBook or an Air-new or used-to use just for the writing wouldn’t set you back so much, i.e. I suppose that your present work-station is to old (more than eight years) to upgrade to High Sierra and to use the latest version of Scrivener, v.3 (both works fine on my late 2009 MacBook). I’ve seen that there are those brave individuals that are testing “unwarranted” work-arounds, but I wouldn’t risk it. To explain it more accurately than that requires computer knowledge beyond my pay grade. Has apparently to do with how a project is built with often hundreds of individual documents. There has been many discussions on why iCloud and many other cloud services (including Google Drive) doesn’t work for syncing Scrivener projects. I suppose that will be more hands on and less automatic. I haven’t tried it, but I know that it is possible to use iTunes for syncing. If not, I guess my days with Scrivener are probably about over… Since I have my own website with 100 mgbs of space, I wonder if I could somehow just use an address there for Scrivener syncing? Or maybe use Google Drive (for free) or any number of other spaces. And if I actually did upgrade to a new computer, then the devious forces of computer science would have me pay a lifetime monthly fee of $50 month till the end of time to replace my Adobe Creative Suite (that cost $1700 and runs perfectly) and also Microsoft would like me to pay them $10 a month until the end of time also. I wonder if there is any workaround - to reassign the online location of Scrivener so that I can continue to use my iPad Scrivener to sync with my desktop Scrivener?įrankly, I’m tired of buying new $3000 computers that run fine. No doubt I’d need to buy a bunch of new peripherals also… as usual. Yes, wouldn’t that be lovely… it would only cost me about $6000 to do so, to replace a perfectly tuned and running $3500 Mac Pro system that I use to make my living as a children’s book author and illustrator. Today I got a popup message from DropBox asking me to log in again - and then informed me to ‘please upgrade your system’.
