# Bug Report Hi Cordova team, I'm not sure if it's a bug or if I misunderstood [the documentation](https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/11.x/reference/cordova-plugin-file/#ios-file-system-layout) about `cordova-plugin-file` so any help/advices would be very appreciated (I'm targeting/working on an **iOS webapp**). ## Problem I'de like to read/write file in a synced folder automatically synced with iCloud. The goal is to be able of writing the file from **device1** and reading the same file from **device2** (and vice-versa). Files wouldn't have to be accessible from the user, only from the app (private files such as user preferences, user infos, etc). ### What is expected to happen? From the [doc](https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/11.x/reference/cordova-plugin-file/#ios-file-system-layout), I understood that files saved into the `cordova.file.syncedDataDirectory` folder would be automatically synced. The value of the **syncedDataDirectory** key returns: `file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/01234-56789/Library/Cloud/` ### What does actually happen? I can write/read file from this folder from the **same device**, everything works as expected. However, files are not synced at all between devices. In a first time, I just like to get a confirmation from developers of this plugin about the goal of this `syncedDataDirectory`? What do you mean by "_Holds app-specific files that should be synced (e.g. to iCloud)_"? Do you confirm that files written on **device1** could be read from **device2**? ## Information <!-- Include all relevant information that might help understand and reproduce the problem --> Of course all iOS devices on which I did test are **connected** to the same **iCloud account**, iCloud **is enabled** in device settings, iCloud Drive **is enabled** (don't know if it has anything to do with), iCloud for my app **is enabled** too. ### Command or Code <!-- What command or code is needed to reproduce the problem? --> I have added to my `config.xml` (from [the doc](https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/11.x/reference/cordova-plugin-file/#configuring-the-plugin-optional) but I'm not sure it would be necessary in my case): ``` <preference name="iosExtraFilesystems" value="library,library-nosync,documents,documents-nosync,cache,bundle,root" /> <preference name="iosPersistentFileLocation" value="Library" /> ``` I also tried to add **iCloud Capabilities** from Xcode (from TARGET > SIGNING & CAPABILITIES). I have created a new iCloud container `iCloud.com.company.container-name`. I have checked the box **iCloud Documents** in my **iCloud Capabilities**. I have upgraded my app build version number (such as explained in the [Apple Doc](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/documents_data_and_pasteboard/synchronizing_documents_in_the_icloud_environment#3743498) about `NSUbiquitousContainers`). I also tried to add these new key/value in my info`.plist`: ``` <key>NSUbiquitousContainers</key> <dict> <key>iCloud.com.company.container-name</key> <dict> <key>NSUbiquitousContainerIsDocumentScopePublic</key> <true/> <key>NSUbiquitousContainerName</key> <string>TEST NEW CONTAINER</string> <key>NSUbiquitousContainerSupportedFolderLevels</key> <string>ANY</string> </dict> </dict> ``` ### Environment, Platform, Device • cordova -v: 11.0.0 • platform ios: 6.1.1 • cordova-plugin-file: 7.0.0 • Devices tested: iPhone7 Plus, iPhone 12 Pro, iPad Air Pro, iPad Air Thanks for your help. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
