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.

I was using Samsung Notes for this functionality. I want the notes to sync, not overwrite.

In the meantime, can anyone recommend any other S-Pen compatible Android note apps that support sync? This would be a really useful feature.

Hi Andrew (http://feedback.squidnotes.com/users/28523344-andrew-hughes), I have been reading the comments and realise that is there a way we can assist you as users of the product. Are you in consultation with Google or other 3rd party vendors to assist with this sync issue? An ETA is an 'Estimated' time of arrival. I am sure that letting us know a rough time would be a good thing. We are not on tenterhooks waiting for you to reply with a date. How does this sound to you?

Greetings from a former Cal Poly Pomona prof! Squid is great, but please please please, bring on sync! With the proliferation of devices, it's essential.

Would be great to see this update soon. I have a Samsung Chromebook for school, a Galaxy Note 10.1 for easy access, and a Pixel 2. It would be nice to be able to rely solely on squid. At minimal I would enjoy the auto back-up to be less than 6 hours. Maybe more like 5 min to a half hour and then some easy tool on the main screen to restore the back-up to other devices. I've been a Premium Subscriber for over a year and, while I love the app, syncing is the only thing it lacks!

Given we live in the age of the cloud and syncronised devices this is a must have. I use a Note 8 and a Tab S4 as my daily drivers and not having the simple ability to sync between them is a real pain. It doesn't help that I do not use Dropbox or Box so having them as the only 2 cloud export targets is really a missed opportunity. I'd have no problem moving to Premium if that was the only way to get this critical feature but until then, I'll save my money for apps that actually make my daily workload easier, not harder.

I get that it's difficult to provide sync, but the LACK of effort to even STREAMLINE the process of BACKUP and RESTORE is infuriating.
You guys need to take that process out of the settings and put it into the UI of the notes.
There should be some sort floating button that I can hit before I close the app and I would then hit that same button when I open the app restore to the latest version.
It's not that hard. I realize my tone is harsh, but like many others, I love the no lag writing experience... BUT the more I use the app, the more aggravated I get. I know file sizes get large, but I (Like many others who have tried everything to keep using this app) archive notes I don't need anymore as PDF's in dropbox or google drive. So file size should not be an issue.
Just... please please please streamline the backup and restore process!

"And, while I love Squid, the lack of Google Drive support makes syncing my handwritten keepsakes a bit of a pain. I’ve forgotten to set up syncing multiple times and lost meeting notes just as many times. Sure, I switch Chromebooks more than most, but with everything else that auto-saves in my Google-dominated universe, I have a hard time remembering to manually set up syncing with Squid and it bites me sometimes." - https://chromeunboxed.com/news/chrome-canvas-draw-chromebook-google-web-app/

At least let us save edited or currently editing notes to our own cloud services Dropbox and Google Drive for multi device support please.

I don't understand how it could take this long to implement this?? I mean if Google, Microsoft, Apple, for example, can implement auto sync between devices, why can't you as well? If you can't figure out how to do it then outsource it to someone else who can. Collab with Google to implement it even. Something!

This would be great because I am always going between my Google Pixelbook and my Google Pixel 2 XL and I am used to the Google system where everything automatically syncs as you are updating it at that very moment. Please add this feature!!!

I finally thought I'd found a note app that worked and then realised it has no concept of accounts or syncing. Gutted.
Don't overcomplicate the requirement, you don't need to merge conflicting edits as the first step, just sync docs and only allow them to be open on one at any time.
If squid supported sync and eventually live collaboration it would win hands down.
