Thus, a file-based sync is not only very inefficient, but also prone to corrupting the database. For instance, many large files are modified in small but interdependent ways when the database is changed. Here's the explanation behind this recommendation:Ī simple file-based sync does not work properly for many reasons. I realize this is an old thread, but just to set the record straight, it is not recommended that you store your Brain data in any directory being synced to iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.

You could do this also by just deleting the local version, and then turning off iCloud and then opening TheBrain and clicking the icons (which will re-download the brain from the cloud), but restoring the archives will be much faster if they are large databases.

Restore your Brain archive files (File > Import, browse to the archive file) Make sure you save them somewhere that isn't affected by turning off iCloud.ĭelete the local brains only ( DO NOT DELETE the remote brain) Make a backup by choosing File > Backup to Brain Archive. Open TheBrain, and make sure all brains are synchronized. If you do want to turn iCloud off, these steps should work (I first typed will, but while I've done the following steps before, I haven't with the iCloud document sync, so only have 98% certainty): I think it's because of what macOS did by moving stuff around when that happened, but this might be important enough to e-mail support as well. Switching iCloud Drive back on resulted in a duplicate folder being created but I could delete it with no problems:.So turned iCloud Drive back on for Desktop and Documents and restarted TB and was relieved to see everything back to normal-Brains showed up and synced normally.I realised that TB files are stored in my Documents folder and realised that my turning off iCloud for my Documents folder may have caused something to break.
