DropBox support

[Martin75]

Hello,

The backup and mail function is great. To make things even easier would it be possible to use iRealb in a cloud? Like google drive or dropbox or irealcloud?

I now have iRealBook on my iPhone, iPad, and iMac. It would be really nice to have (and relatively simple to implement) support for DropBox for synchronization between devices. This way, if someone emails me a chart and I import into my phone, when I open the app on another device, the chart is already there. Ditto for making modifications to charts.

I am in for this option!

100% usefull and a MUST HAVE.... Please all reply to this post that we get this feature very soon

thank you for your request.
Just to make it clear, saving a song, playlists or backups can already be saved to or imported from Dropbox (or Google Drive) (on Mac, use the .html file format if you want to import to iOS or android) but yes, sync has not yet been implemented.

(Both Dropbox and Drive have their own apps for iOS, Mac, Android.)

PLEASE make this a reality. I have a real mess on my hands between Mac, iPhone and iPad. It's really hard to keep track of what I added to which device and where the latest version is.

Dropbox or iCloud syncing would really make this package rock, (or jazz, if you will.)

I would LOVE to see shared playlists where I could have the rest of my band connected to a playlist and as soon as I move a song into that playlist, it appears on their devices. Simple and elegant.

Is SYNC something that is in the works or am I wasting my breath? I think this would take this package to the next level. It's already awesome and I know hundreds of musicians that use it daily. This would kick it into another realm.

EDIT: I would pay to have this feature as an in-app purchase.

+1 for iCloud sync!

PLEAS PLEASE PLEASE Make dropbox SYNC on of the next PRIO KILLERFETURES.

I use Dropbox

This. But sync, songs & playlists.

For me the great part about iReal is the speed at which you can enter and edit formatted chord sheets.
This is very handy on iPad when creating and rehearsing new music with a band.
But at home the computer is handier and good for finishing it up.

Yes, iCloud would be great too.

What they said. Please, take money off me for this feature!



Really.

Importing

I’ve read a section which says that a file can be imported as long as it is in HTML format , can anyone tell me exactly how that is archived. I can’t find any area where I can import fron iCloud Drive whereI am keeping my files for the moment. Can some one explain the process from start to finish in fairly simple steps please.

iCloud
iOS11 Files app

You can save a playlist or song to iCloud, using Share>iReal Pro format>Save to Files, (presumably) tap on a folder and Add. (You cannot make a new folder there, so if you need to, make one in the Files app in iCloud first.)

To import a file from there, use the Files app, find the song or playlist iReal Pro file, tap Select, tap to select it, Share>Copy to iReal Pro. Or you can tap on the file to download it then use the normal Share icon>Copy to iReal Pro.

This applies to (new) iOS11, using the Files app.
The HTML file it can import is only a iReal Pro song or playlist file originating from iReal Pro itself.

Does this help?
