why won't freeform synch to my iCloud

I have turned on iCloud for Freemform in my settings on my iPad, and even after several synchs, my project file is still not appearing on Freeform on my Mac. I cannot see Freeform in the iCloud files either.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16

Freeform not syncing between devices Freeform files not syncing between iPhone and Mac Ok..let's get the usual stuff out of the way: yes OS software up to date on all devices. yes it is using the same iCloud account yes Freeform is turned on in iCloud settings on all devices it used to work before, now it does not. So...simply put, the documents are not syncing between my devices. Thoughts?

Freeform work file location out of iCloud I am using Freeform on Mac and iPad Pro; sharing on iCloud is very convenient but for work organisation and archiving reasons I would need to locate the Freeform work file and be able to transfer it out of iCloud to another remote server. It would be convenient to be able to have the Freeform editable file, not just the pdf export. Is this possible or will it be possible in the future? Thank you

Freeform not synching across devices or users As noted in a previous thread, Freeform isn't syncing from iPad where I created and am revising a board to my MacBook. Neither is FreeForm syncing with the collaborator to their MacBook. Portions of the board show up, but the revisions I did today on the iPad are incomplete on the MacBook. It seemed to restore when I went into text boxes and changed the Front/Back settings a couple of hours ago. I tried that again, just now, but that didn't solve the problem this time. On my Mac, I created a text box and it showed up immediately on my iPad, but it doesn't work the other way: if I create a new text box on my iPad, it isn't visible on my MacBook. Toggling between Front/Back for the text box created on the MacBook doesn't help. What can I do to solve this problem? FreeForm is only useful if it will sync seamlessly and completely between devices and users.

Hello Gemlilies,

We understand you've already confirmed the iCloud settings via Access your Freeform boards on all your Apple devices on iPad - Apple Support. In regards to your syncing, do you see Freeform sync over time or not at all? If not at all, do you have functions such as background activity disabled? This can disrupt the syncing, so we'd want to rule that out. You can check that setting under Settings > General > Background App Refresh.

Cheers!
