Maps can be recovered from the trash (so long as the trash has not been 'emptied') If a map is deleted in the cloud then the corresponding map (on iOS) is moved to the trash. To the iOS version, a cloud rename/move looks like the original file is deleted and a new file created - so if you rename a map on Dropbox that is currently open in iThoughts, then it'll warn you that the file has been moved to the trash (deleted.) A new map with the new name will then be downloaded. It's best to rename/move files 'in the cloud' then let the iOS version sync those changes down. This is a technical limitation with the sync logic. The previous map (in the cloud) is then redownloaded - resulting in a duplicate. A renamed map is considered to be a 'new' map and thus uploaded. Renames and Moves on iOS are NOT replicated up to the cloud. Dropbox also maintains a version history of files - so you should never lose any changes. On the Mac, a 'version' of the map will be saved before it's overwritten by the cloud copy. On iOS, a copy of the previous version will be created and given a suffix of '(conflict)' before the cloud version overwrites it. It will always choose the version in the cloud. This usually happens when the iPad has no network connection. Unfortunately iThoughts cannot merge changes, so it needs to choose one version of the map to take forward. If you edit a map on your iPad then edit the same map on your desktop before it has been sync'd then you will get a 'conflict'. I'm trying to avoid inadvertently creating a DDoS ! Having every installed copy of iThoughts constantly hitting the cloud servers asking for updates will not make me popular amongst my colleagues in the cloud! Why the 30 second and 10 minute delay - why not sync instantly and constantly? This means that maps can be modified when no network connection is available. Multiple copies of your maps will reside in iOS, the cloud and the desktop.

When iThoughts (iOS) subsequently looks for any updates in the cloud, it will check the 'revision number' for both the iThoughts file and the Mindmanager file and download the most recently modified (ignoring the PDF version - which can't be imported.)

You can then view the PDF version of the map or open the Mindmanager/iThoughts files using their respective apps on the desktop (Mac or Windows.) Changes made on the desktop are automatically uploaded to the cloud by the installed cloud sync software (Dropbox etc.) In that case, whenever a local (iOS) change is made, all 3 file formats are uploaded to the cloud. A typical configuration might be to enable iThoughts, Mindmanager and PDF file formats. When configuring a linked folder you also supply a list of file formats to keep in sync. The contents of each folder (and sub folder) are then kept 'in sync' by software built into iThoughts. This is known as a ' Linked Folder'. On iOS, the basic concept is that you associate a local folder with a corresponding folder in the cloud. This is disabled by default for obvious cost reasons. NB: You can enable automatic sync using mobile data in the System Settings. NB: You can override all the above by selecting 'Start Sync' from the 'Cloud' menu. Remote (Dropbox) changes are checked for when the app starts (but no more frequently than every 10 minutes) Local (iPad) changes are synced (up to Dropbox) 30 seconds after the app is closed (by default.) Syncing only happens on WiFi (by default.) There are some caveats to be aware of when syncing:
