I'm a little confused about what those folders are and how they work: I added a couple of PDFs to the "base" iCloud Drive on my iMac, and after I used them as a PDF on my iPad (just by using the iCloud Drive annotation tools), they also appeared in the Preview folder. I can export a new file back to iCloud Drive, and when I do that I see the new version almost instantly appears in the Finder app on my iMac - but I'd prefer to change the "old" one. There's now a newer fully annotated version in GoodReader, and I can't find a way to sync that version back. How do I sync the revised annotated PDFs back from GoodReader into iCloud Drive, and back to my iMac? I succeeded in doing this once - I've got a half-annotated version.What's the "iCloud" folder for in GoodReader? It looks like it should have, well, iCloud Drive files - but it's empty.In the iCloud Drive app, if I choose the share icon, the only GoodReader option I see is "Copy to GoodReader", which I assume makes a new copy - and I don't want to do that. At the moment I'm doing the "Open file" option because I don't want to deal with multiple copies of a PDF, but I'm not sure if that's the best approach. What's a recommended way to open a PDF in GoodReader? In the GoodReader App, I can choose "Import", and then "Import (copy) from iCloud Drive" or "Open file from iCloud Drive".
I guess I'm doing something wrong, because so far I'm only able to make new revised files, rather than sync and update the already existing files - which will quickly lead to a bewildering number of documents. The main PDF reader I use on my iPad is GoodReader. In the past I've used SugarSync for this, but I'm trying to move to Apple's iCloud.
Thank you for reporting spam and other rule-breaking content.I'm trying to figure out how to keep annotated PDFs (mainly academic articles) synchronized between an iPad and my iMac.
