I will switch from WebDav to SyncThing since it turned out to be a very neat and easy to use sync method with enhanced privacy. Apple decided not to support tools like SyncThing for political reasons, so no luck for iOS here.

I'm guessing he means that the syncing has to be event-driven, not time-driven. He wants the sync to happen just before emacs exits: that way, everything is up to date. Time-driven syncing would be racy. I wonder if there is a before-exit hook that can be used. -- Nick

You can use a timer, for instance: I have a few computers and they don't run all the time (let alone run Emacs all the time) and I didn't want to setup a timer on all of them. The need to sync for me is usually typing something in on a PC and then having it available in my pocket. So the corner case for the timer is that it has to trigger between me saving a file and shutting down or hibernating or whatever on the PC which can be a pretty short time. Between Emacsen files saved in Dropbox works fine (although I'd rather not use Dropbox for anything) but on mobile Dropbox doesn't sync as far as I know.

I have this in my emacs init.el (run-at-time "10:15" 86400 'org-mobile-push) This works in combination with a cron job (a few minutes later) that syncs the files to my 'cloud', where my phone picks them up. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

But since initiating manual sync from Emacs seemed mandatory I just didn't get much use out of MobileOrg. So whatever you want to provide, make sure sync is automatic. And preferably supporting private sync options too.

I second this. The inability to use git directly was the main reason I didn't end up using MobileOrg.

I use git, and would very much like to be able to use that as a backend to synchronize (I'm trying to move away from dropbox).
