    Changing from Dropbox to iCloud - process question

    MacBook Pro 2021
    Apple M1 Pro Chip
    Sequoia 15.7.7
    Reunion 14.0
    also occasionally use Reunion on an iPad and on my iPhone

    I have multiple cloud storage locations and want to move files off Dropbox to iCloud. (I've read people's comments on pros and cons, so I don't need that information.)

    Is this what I do? I want to make sure so I don't royally mess something up.

    Menu:
    File/Sharing Status/Reset Sharing...

    Then I click on Reset Sharing.
    I make sure Dropbox has synced from whatever changes I recently made (I checked the modified date and time and it looks current)
    Next time I open Reunion, I go back to this menu but this time tell it to sync to iCloud.

    Is that right?

    Just call me nervous!

      You forgot Step 0: Make a backup of everything. Put it on a thumb drive or somewhere safe.

      After that, your logic makes sense. Make sure your date is updated/synced, move it to the new location, then use Reunion Settings -> Folders to point to your new locations.

          Ah, Step 0, the most important of all. Thanks for that, KirkS!

          I made the move after the back-up.
          Reunion was able to find linked multimedia quickly. For the linked source media, so far it seems to be able to find them after I manually linked the first one.

              On to the next issue I am having - ReunionTouch. I've looked at that forum for posts with iCloud and ReuionTouch and see unanswered responses and old posts, so I'm going to keep going here on this thread and hope I can find a resolution.

              I forget how I got to this point in the migration. I know I had to go find the Reunion FamilyFile in the cloud.

              On my iPhone, I am linked to my FamilyFile in iCloud and I know it's a recent version because I have a change I made recently that I can see is in both.
              On my desktop, Reunion>File>Sharing Status it says "This file is not being shared. This file can be shared.... If this family file was previously shared, open ReunionTouch on your device....."

              I have already done that step.

              What next,
              Thanks in Advance.
