Sync Bookmarks + Highlights

[screfield]

Hi do I sync my bookmarks and my highlights between my iPhone and Mac Laptop? Both devices are updated to the latest version.

 

Thanks.

You can use either dropbox or Accordance's own 'sync with mobile' direct sync

@A. Smith answered your question well. I'll add that in 14.1, we will be moving to our enhanced syncing that will no longer rely on Dropbox.

For any future users struggling with sync via Dropbox, I found that i have two Dropbox files, "My Highlights.hlt" and "My Mobile Highlights.hlt". I must have created the latter on my iPad, and that is the one that the iPad was syncing to while my Mac was syncing to the former. There is a setting in iOS to select between the two files, but as far as I can find, no such setting option is on the desktop. I solved my syncing problem by copying "My Mobile Highlights.hlt" to "My Highlights.hlt" from within Dropbox (first making duplicates for backups).I selected "My Highlights" on iOS, re-synced on both machines, and I am a happy camper. But it took a while.All this may have been covered in an Intro video that I ignored, but it took references to two Dropbox files in another post to get me on the right track.

 

I will add that the link provided above (https://accordancefiles2.com/helpfiles/Mobile2/Content/Topics/02_Install-Update/syncing.htm) refers to a podcast that is no longer there (http://www.accordancefiles2.com/podcasts/p55_accordancesync.m4v).

Thanks! We'll look into that link correction.
