Back to Scrivener¹
Because Dropbox wasn’t the issue
To use Scrivener on all three of my devices, I had to find a way to sync my files. That’s because Scrivener itself has no way to do it.
After trying a lot of ideas, I settled on Dropbox. I already had it on my iPhone, iPad, and my Windows® laptop, so it was just a matter of configuring Scrivener to find its files there. But there was a problem: whenever I launched Scrivener on my laptop, it seemed to take forever to load.
Being the Type A personality (read: whiny impatient spoiled brat — and not necessarily in that order) that I am, I reconfigured the program to find its files on my hard drive.
But that didn’t seem to make any difference, so I simply deleted Scrivener.
And that’s when the problems started.
See, while I wasn’t actually writing in Scrivener, I was using it as a kind of fies cabinet for everything I wrote. Which meant I had to reinstall it.
Which I did.
It doesn’t load any faster, but in keeping with Robyn’s First Law of Computing², I use both it and Evernote as my filing cabinets (aka off-site storage.
You might consider either one or both yourself.
