iOS App: Is it possible to define / access custom notes location? #1391

Closed exislow closed 2 years ago

exislow commented 2 years ago

I would like to either by an Apple developer Programm subscription to build the app myself or the FSNotes app from AppStore but before I do so I would like to know the following:

  1. Is it possible to access custom notes location on my iPhone using the app? Or is the notes location save path predefined and not changeable?

Background of my question: I would like to sync my notes with a specific app to my iPhone (no I do not want to use iCloud) and afterwards access the synced notes with the FSNotes iOS app.

Thank you in advance!

@glushchenko could you maybe answer this question?

You can add external folder like in FSNotes for macOS app. Seems it written in features.

But I cannot manage the content of the external folder in the macOS app. E.g. I cannot create new sub-folders within an external folder, correct?

My question was rather, if I can freely chose the "Default Storage" location in the iOS app the same way I do it in the macOS app?

No, you can not change root storage and it is by design. iOS API limited to detect changes only in app root storage. So if file changed outside, you cannot know about it if you use external storage.
