iCloud Sync
PastePal uses Apple iCloud to sync data across your Mac, iPhone, and iPad, ensuring your data is safe and secure.
To ensure iCloud sync works properly, follow these steps:
- Enable the iCloud Sync option in PastePal settings on both iPhone and Mac apps.
- If you want to sync copied images, enable Sync Image via iCloud Drive in PastePal Settings. Currently, only copied images are supported, not image files.
- Ensure both devices are signed into the same iCloud account.
- Make sure both devices are online.
- Verify that PastePal is running on the Mac.
- Disable Low Power Mode on both devices as it can delay iCloud syncing.
Ensure that both iCloud and iCloud Drive are enabled in system settings.
-
On iOS, go to “Settings › Apple ID › iCloud › Apps Using iCloud” and ensure PastePal is enabled.
-
On macOS, go to “System Settings › Apple ID › iCloud › iCloud Drive › Apps syncing to iCloud Drive” and ensure PastePal is enabled.
-
If using a work device, confirm that no restrictions are preventing iCloud or iCloud Drive from syncing.
-
If using a VPN, try disconnecting it as some VPNs can block iCloud syncing.
-
Check if the iCloud service (opens in a new tab) is experiencing any issues.
