RemoteStorage doesn't work #6

It still does not work. I haven't forgotten about it.

I'm not sure any of the RS code included from laverna is usable. I don't think it has worked there since 0.7.51 as the dev branch code looked entirely different. There are some JS modules for interfacing with it, so I'm going to start reviewing those and seeing what I can use.

Don't worry, it will be available one day 😄 You only need to be patient

Huh, glad I found this. I've been testing out various note apps with end-to-end encryption, and so far like Encryptic the best. I had selected RemoteStorage as my sync option. I just got around to setting up my 2nd device, and my notes were not showing up. Couldn't figure out why until I found this issue. :) remoteStorage.js is not even in the download zip for Windows, so I'm now surprised I was able to select RemoteStorage at all.

Thanks. Guess I'll try setting up a DropBox account.

[UPDATE] Hmm, I switched to DropBox, and I'm still not able to sync between installations. I have a desktop version running in Windows, and I'm also running through a browser. Each of those remembers the note that I typed in directly, but neither is retrieving the note from the other. Not sure I'm doing this right. When I switched to DropBox for sync, the instructions had me enter a URL into a browser, and DropBox provided an access token. Following directions, I entered that token back into Encryptic and saved.

Do I use the same token in all instances of Encryptic (Windows desktop and browser), or do I generate a different access token for each? I tried both ways, and never seem to get the note from the other installation.

I'm working on implementing RemoteStorage sync right now (see my progress), in maximum 2 weeks it should be available :)

You need to export a backup from one of your installation and import it into the others, the private key isn't stored in Dropbox (maybe this will be changed later). See https://github.com/encryptic-team/encryptic/issues/27#issuecomment-438078640
