Freeform hasn't been saving my boards to iCloud; I've lost data. How can I prevent this in the future?
I just got off a call with Apple support. Maria was really trying but to no avail. Apparently, I've lost my week's work.
I had three quite big boards, worked on them every day since last Friday. A lot.
Today I noticed, that they were not syncing with my phone (iPhone 13 Pro Max, laptop is Macbook Pro 16 M1, all latest updates installed on both devices). I checked if everything was set properly (syncing, updates, all of that), because I've already talked with Apple about Freeform syncing issues two months ago, so I knew what to check (they didn't figure out what was causing the issues at that time, but it seemed like they somehow managed to make it work. Turns out they didn't). All set properly. So I went and disconnected and reconnected it to iCloud and... small message popped out "Be careful..." but my hand was faster and finished the disconnect and that was it. All data gone.
Freeform was not really saving my data to iCloud. But I had no idea because everything seemed to be just fine.
So yeah, my bad overlooking that popup message. But the thing is - I checked online and it seem this has been an issue for quite a few users. Has anyone figured it out? I like Freeform but this makes it useless as I can't really trust the app. Or is there any other similar app which actually saves its content?
