    Reunion 14 and Reunion Touch

    How many devices can I use with my Reunion 14 and Reunion Touch? I work on a desktop, two laptops and an iPad.

    For the free account with Dropbox the limit is 3 devices. If you have a paid account, it is probably more. I don't know what the limit is if you are using iCloud.

      Thanks so much - the synching issue makes sense now. I'll try iCloud.

        I made the move to iCloud to sync Reunion 14 on my Mac with ReunionTouch on my iPhone. I proceeded as follows:
        1) I disconnected from Reunion.app.
        2) I moved my family .familyfile14 file of Dropbox (previously upgraded to Reunion 14 format) to somewhere in my Documents folder of iCloud Drive.
        3) I opened ReunionTouch on my iPhone.
        4) While I could see my latest family file (version 14) followed by
        1395 people - Dropbox
        I clicked
        Download family file from iCloud Drive
        5) I clicked on my current file in the Documents folder where I had just placed it.
        It uploads from iCloud, but I then get the error message:
        Host family is missing
        The host gamily file on Dropbox "..." can't be found. It may have been moved or renamed.
        with the following two choices
        Locate the Host Family File
        Continue in Unlinked Mode
        This means that ReunionTouch (which is version 1.0.21 seemingly the latest) expects to continue working with DropBox!

        If I click
        Locate the Host Family File
        it fails to find it and sends me to a page with
        ReunionTouch would like access to the files and folders in your DropBox. Learn More.
        Allow
        [old e-mail address]
        Use a different account
        and pops up:
        "Dropbox" wants to open "ReunionTouch"
        Cancel Open
        Why is DropBox still working on ReunionTouch? Can I get rid of it? Should I remove DropBox from my iPhone?

        If I exit, re-open, re-upload the Reunion file I had just placed on my iCloud folder, and click instead on
        Continue in Unlinked Mode
        I am in my family file with ReunionTouch, but if I modify it, the changes do not appear on why Mac's Reunion. So I suspect this is a DropBox file.

        What should I do to avoid seeing DropBox everywhere and have a smooth synchronization via iCloud?

          On your Mac, after you move the family file from Dropbox to iCloud Drive, you need to open the family file, choose File > Sharing Status and then click Reset Sharing.

          On your iPhone (or iPad) you need to open ReunionTouch and delete the Dropbox family. Do this from the Welcome to ReunionTouch screen. Swipe left to delete your family file.

          Then you can download your family file into ReunionTouch from iCloud Drive.
