By doing this, you backup the file to your iCloud folder. This file will be safe even if you do a uninstall or re-install or updating a big update Do this only for the notes/pictures/pdf that are important to you, so Public room, Public question room and LGBT public room is not important, they will be re-install anyway after you do the uninstall/re-install

Notice: it is normal that the ones you selected disappeared one by one (they are moved to the iCloud folder), just move all the important files first, then we move to the next step to confirm the moved files.

  • Step 4: we will recheck to see if all the files are in iCloud folder or not from the right Menu > Organising > Use iCloud Folder as Home Folder
