Hey guys,

So i have an app which saves json files to the apps directory. I'm just wondering if there was a way to save them into iCloud instead, or even have the ability to mov them into iCloud. I'm at a loss as i can't really find any information on it.

I'm wondering if the following options are okay to use? and does anyone have any examples of them?

.fileExporter
.fileMove

Thanks!

Hi,

do you wan't your user to be able to access them? If so, you can use the iCloud Drive approach and copy it there. I have written a guide how to do this - https://nemecek.be/blog/6/saving-files-into-users-icloud-drive-using-filemanager This uses the FileManager and the only difference is in the URL :-)

There could be a way to save files into iCloud Drive without them being publicly exposed but I have not yet explored that.

The second option is to use CloudKit framework https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/DataManagement/Conceptual/CloudKitQuickStart/AddingAssetsandLocations/AddingAssetsandLocations.html https://developer.apple.com/documentation/cloudkit/ckasset

I have used the CKAsset to save video files and I imagine JSON is going to be very similar.
