Boostnote.next: File based local storage(Google drive, iCloud or Dropbox)

[Rokt33r]

Currently this app is not supporting file system based local storage. It means you can not use your own file system based cloud service like Google drive, iCloud or Dropbox.

But we're going to introduce it one day. https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote.next/issues/67#issuecomment-548216591

Until then, you can use our cloud storage or keep using the previous app(We won't deprecate the app until the new app can do most of things of the old app).

This, and #243 are what's holding me back from switching to the new version.

@Rokt33r , Now that mobile app is released, is there any ETA on file based storage? Thanks.

Still not switching to the new app, while it doesn't support file system local storage. Still using the old app, syncing my notes folder to Box.

@manastalukdar @juanlopez4691 We will give you an announcement soon. For now, we're expecting it is completely shipped in the end of June. Until then, please keep using the old app.(FYI, we probably won't stop maintaining the old app even if we introduced FS based storage because there would be still more features to implement to the new app)

@Rokt33r how do I download the old iOS app?

[Rokt33r]

@AlJohri Impossible for now. You should build it yourself. The maintainer of the previous mobile app left from us. So I don't know how to build it.

Personally I started liking having git repository as storage backend. I don't make commits by hand, they are created by app every time I save. It's provide me with history for every change (just not really useful commit messages). https://stackedit.io/app have something like that, you can configure whole workspace to be Github repository (private in my case).
