Excellent information and detail. I like how you showed us step by step and made me learn where to find things in the preferences folder. I would love a video on all the preference options to see if there are some I am not utilizing. Thanks again!
I have scrivener on my Mac and also in my iPhone but it is not clear how I can sync between them. I have some documents on the Mac and different ones on the iPhone. But I would like to have something like Notes in which whatever I write on Notes is synced automatically right away on all my Apple devices. I know I have to use Dropbox but I can’t understand how to get the same files on Mac and iPhone.
You need to put all the Scrivener projects you want to share across devices into one folder in Dropbox, then you can set up sync between your iPhone and your Mac. It’s not as quick a sync as with Notes, though. And it doesn't happen automatically upon making a change. If you’re working on your iPhone, then you have to sync the file from the iPhone version of Scrivener to Dropbox. Then you need to sync from Dropbox to the Mac version of Scrivener.

You can save your compressed zip backup file to Google Drive. However, the makers of Scrivener warn against synching live projects through Google Drive. You can learn more here: scrivener.tenderapp.com/help/kb/cloud-syncing/using-scrivener-with-cloud-sync-services
The iOS versions of Scrivener don’t have the same type of full toolbar as the Mac OS version. However, if you’re looking for the editing/formatting toolbar, that appears in iOS when you tap inside a document.
@@VanessaKier I actually found it. The only way I can describe it is that when using an attachable keyboard with the iPad, the second tool bar set from the bottom. If I press and hold any of those, the extended capabilities I’m looking for come up I’m using scrivener for resumes today. What I cannot figure out is how to remove page numbers from the bottom of my resume . Any ideas?
@@EarTipper Page numbers are set from within the Compile feature. If you’re on your iPad, go into Compile. Look for the Footer box and remove the code. That will get rid of the page numbers.

Thank you for this video. It certainly cleared up some questions I had about where the projects were being saved and where the back-ups ought to go.
Very helpful video--thank you!
thank you this was helpful... :)

Can Scrivener be synced or backed up using Google Drive?

Hi, i was wondering. I am using an iPad Air 2, iPadOS 14.7.1
And i don’t see the whole toolbar at the top or how to get it. Do you know off hand?
