My only warning is to make sure the sync has completed before opening Scrivener on another device or platform.Įven if you fail to do that, and somehow managed to work on the same files in the same project on two different machines, Scrivener will still be able to resolve most conflicts by looking at the last updated timestamps.
Literature & Latte (the inventors of Scrivener) have built sophisticated syncing and conflict resolution capabilities on top of Dropbox, so it’s easy to sync and it can be set to happen automatically.

(The free version of Dropbox works just fine).

I use Dropbox to sync projects across my Windows desktop, Windows laptop, Mac desktop, two iPads and an iPhone. Therefore, I have a man bag to carry my iPad and keyboard with me wherever I go, so I can write anytime, anywhere! You share your Scrivener projects from the iPad to the desktop and vice versa? The external keyboard is so much faster than using the inbuilt iOS one. Mine is the Logitech K480 and that allows me to use a full-size keyboard for up to three iOS (or other) devices. I highly recommend using an external keyboard. Impressive setup! What other equipment do you have? While it is possible to do all of that on the iOS version, it’s not as direct or robust.Īlso, if I’m cutting and pasting between multiple projects or other apps, I like to have my dual-screen 28-inch and 23-inch monitors for multiple windows open at once. And, at the end of my writing, compiling output.Any heavy-duty cutting and pasting between projects.At the beginning of a project, creating and saving templates.Seriously though, there are a few things I still only do use the desktop version of Scrivener: Yes! No, actually because it’s dry under the pergola. Do you only work at your desk when it’s raining? True … but I’m more comfortable using a minimalist approach of the iPad as it’s lighter and easier to move around. You could still use your laptop in the garden? I can write better and quicker in this relaxed position, using my iPad, than I can in the office. I just love sitting out on the back deck in my IKEA chair, enjoying the views and wildlife and letting my creative juices flow. I always have my iPad and/or iPhone with me so, during what used to be ‘wasted gaps’ in my day, I now take the opportunity to write or edit, even if I only have a few minutes.Īlso, I realise that I’m most creative and do my best work, outlining and drafting, when I’m not sitting upright at my desktop. I’m spending 80% of my time with Scrivener on my iPad, 10% on iPhone and the remaining 10% still on my desktop. What’s your balance of work: at your desk versus using Scrivener for iOS? Scrivener for iOS allows me to fill in time, writing and editing on my iPad or iPhone.
I love it because, whenever I’m on the move and find spare moments, I’m more creative, and can draft my work faster.
Why should we be excited about Scrivener for iOS? It is 90-95% compatible to the desktop versions, and cleaner and leaner for writing and editing your work. No more being chained to your desktop or needing to carry a laptop around. Scrivener for iOS is the companion version to Scrivener desktop on Mac and Windows. I’m writing this blog post at my desk and cannot imagine working on my iPad, but Steve is here to enlighten me! What is Scrivener for iOS? Rather than discussing how Steve uses Scrivener for writing his two books and scriptwriting stage plays, today’s blog post focuses on how, as an early beta tester for Scrivener for iOS, he came to write his course: Scrivener for iOS, available to my readers at 70% off … and how Steve uses Scrivener ‘on the go’. Today’s guest is writer, publisher, Scrivener trainer and author of the Udemy course Scrivener for iOS, Steve Shipley.
