Sync between devices
I would like to have my notes automatically appear on my other note devices with papyrus installed. E.g. Create a note on note 2 and it appears on my note 10 1. If possible allow editing too from that device.

I know that everyone has been waiting a long time for sync and I want to reassure you that it is high on our list of priorities. As users of Squid ourselves, it’s something we really want as well! We appreciate your patience.
This is something we’ve been investigating since the app’s inception and we continue to investigate constantly. Syncing is a very difficult problem to solve, especially with regards to handwritten notes which can be combined with images and text and contain backgrounds from multiple PDFs. I don’t have an ETA for when sync will be supported, but rest assured this is a high priority for us. We appreciate everyone’s feedback on this idea.

Mutex and autosync with timestamp.
Merge would be a pain as you described. But you shouldn´t think about cross-sync than about a triggered backup to a reasonable cloud (box: filesize limited to 250 MB and dropbox limited to 2GB; all others would cause monthly fees) with a restore, when there is wifi or manually triggered.
This means, if you could actively trigger a backup and restore it, maybe by a view tab or automated, I think most of the users could live with this solution.
Most of the used features already exist.

I would happily pay a higher monthly fee if synch was available. It's a tough feature to implement correctly, but if you started with notebook-level locking, for example, that would be a major improvement on current import-export only feature and buy you more time for note-level and content-level locking.

hey, premium user, i wish you guys would have an option to link with a pc too, so i could use the app on windows and see my notes. i hope you would do this too. tnx

Are you guys over thinking this? You can already do backups and restores. This needs to automatically on all devices periodically using the same backup destination. I thought of doing this manually all the time in order to work on multiple devices but sometimes I forget to do the restore before I use it.

Hi, when synching between devices is going to be ready??. Love the app, but reality is that one always work with at least two devices and is important to have the chance to edit and see every note in every device.

Ending up with a very disappointed customer base here - everyone loves the app but not having sync just kills it for business use. Such as shame, otherwise it'd be far better than OneNote and Co.

The lack of sync makes a very poor solution. I do love the functionality in the app but the lack of proper sync sucks. The interaction with drop box had its issues too. I am paying subscriber but will end it if this is not solved properly.

Hey team. Any update on the sync feature which was a "high priority" on your development list over six years ago? We're all waiting in anticipation. 😊 Thanks!

I just subscribed for a year thinking I found the perfect note taking app, but sadly I regret it almost immediately. I think I just have to stick with S Note or OneNote, so I wish Squid good luck.

I don't think the developers even care. It's been almost six years since feature was requested. Almost everyone wants this feature. I am a developer. I know that adding a sync option cannot be that difficult. OneNote has it. Very disappointed. I am switching to OneNote and the only reason I am doing this is because of no synchronisation. I loved squid but the lack of synchronisation has made me kinda hate it now.

Stop wasting peoples time. It is clearly what we can get for 1 euro per month. Not developing a synch system in 4 years is harder than actually doing one. Despite the great futures, lack of synch is an essential problem these days because most of the people are working with several devices. I am working on a project right now. Once i am done with it, i think i will quit squid.

Goodbye Squid :(
I can't use you anymore, you becoming covered with a dust on my phone(s).
If you can't implement idea for 4 years, I can't wait anymore.
Hello, S-notes and other apps. -

Whoa 4 years in and still investigating a top priority feature requirement. If it was a novel feature we would all understand. But many apps have dealt with this with many approaches.. some good some bad for UX but they had something. Squid has nothing for sync besides the crude backup...
