Switching from Dropbox to Todo Cloud

Modified on Mon, 25 Jul, 2022 at 7:20 AM

If you're syncing to Dropbox using the original Todo app you'll notice the app reporting the following message: 


" The old version of the Dropbox platform is being retired on June 28, 2017. The developer of this app has yet to acknowledge the change, so this app may not continue to work in the future. "


What this means is that you'll no longer be able sync via Dropbox using the standalone Todo app due to the app being deprecated and there are no further updates planned. We recommend making the switch to Todo Cloud. 


On Your Primary Device


Note: If you have already performed these steps on ONE primary device, follow the steps below in the "On Your Other Devices." Performing these steps on multiple devices will upload multiple copies of your tasks to your Todo Cloud account, resulting in duplicate tasks. 
  1. Update your device to the latest available version of Todo (the standard Todo app – not Todo Cloud...yet)
  2. Choose ONE primary device that contains the most current and correct version of your tasks
  3. On your primary device that you selected in Step 1, switch sync services to Todo Cloud
  • Todo for iOS Devices:
    • Tap the Settings button at the bottom right
    • Select Synchronization
    • Select Switch Sync Service and tap the Switch button to disconnect from your current sync service (or ignore this step if you do not sync with any other service)
    • Select Todo Cloud as your new sync option
    • Sign up for a new Todo Cloud account or connect with the account you already have
  • Todo for Mac:
    • Open the Todo app's Preferences... (from the Todo menu)
    • Select the Synchronization tab
    • Click the Switch Services button to disconnect from your current sync service (or ignore this step if you do not sync with any other service)
    • Select Todo Cloud as your new sync option
    • Sign up for a new Todo Cloud account OR connect with the account you already have
  • Synchronize your tasks to Todo Cloud
