it's been 10 years bro please fix ts 🥀

I don't want all my files to be uploaded onto my cloud as I have a limited space. I only want some files on my cloud. We should be able to manage which files we want to remove from or add to the cloud.

I've been using more and more files on Goodnote and I realized it would be great if we can select which files/folder to sync to other devices while keeping the rest locally. For 1, this saved much space in icloud, especially for those who has many files in Goodnote. For 2, people can have more freedom in synchronizing while having access to necessarily files in Goodnote on other devices.

Allow me to select which notebooks are synced to which device. I use GoodNotes on multiple devices with different storage capacities. Right now I have to download all notebooks to every device. I would prefer to be able to only have certain notebooks on smaller-capacity devices.

Please consider the request "Show GoodNotes Documents in a folder in the new iOS 11 Files App"

It makes enhanced file management possible

Please

I have multiple devices all synced, but with different sizes of storage. It kills my storage in my smaller devices to be synced to all the docs I need in my large storage devices.

Any update on this? It's 2024, 8 years since the original post. I'm having the same issue. I've turned off the sync option completely.

This is so important lol, why would I want to sync ALL my files with icloud...

My iPad has more storage than my iPhone.
Sometimes I need to have my flashcards on my iPhone, but not the whole library.
For this reason, I am not able to have iPhone app dowloaded.

So I have to carry my iPad all the time.

Honestly, it’s one of the main reason why I regret buying the Mac version, I don’t need to upgrade my iCloud storage and I don’t need to have all of my GoodNotes file on my computer, but I would really like to have at least my planner and some time sensitive notebooks. I don’t want to delete all of my old notebooks from my iPad. I might just stop using GoodNotes and switch to OneNote or a note shelf or even notability

Yes, essential for notes with private health information not allowed to be synced by the cloud.

This feature is absolutely required and, if not resolved, May drive me away from using GoodNotes.

It seems a lot of people have to turn off sync because GoodNotes can quickly take GB of storage if we sync every file

After years of use and many tens of gigbytes of content, my ipad is full from goodnotes content. I dont want to delete older notes because I occasionally refer to them. I request allowing us to selectively sync some content to our devices and allow older content to be stored in the cloud and downloaded when needed directly within the app.

Highly requested when working with sensitive data that is not allowed on the cloud.

Same issue here as SW below noted: This is also useful for data that can’t be allowed on the cloud. I’m currently stuck choosing between not syncing my data and not using Good Notes.
Would be useful to be able to select a folder or a notebook for sync.

Can you allow iCloud only for certain notebooks? I dont want to back up everything on Icloud since I have unlimited google drive storage, but I need to sync a planner between my iphone and goodnotes so this would be really handy! Thanks <3

As noted by other commenters, this is a privacy issue, a security issue and a storage issue. At present, GoodNotes users can’t use the collaborate function without making all (at least up to storage limitations) their documents accessible on the cloud. This may also affect users with many local files but a poor internet connection who would like to sync only a small collection of documents.

Select only these folders or books you want to sync on iCloud (so that you can work together with a other person).
