Hello Alex, Thank you for your explanations! Actually, I am not trying to use the FTP to sync with Android, mainly because the Android app doesn't have that feature. It was more like a feature suggestion... I understand the formatting issue, but they do not need to upload the native binary file from each platform... I was thinking in a standard file format they could have in common (the desktop and mobile apps), like the XML export.
I personaly have a batch file in desktop to export my tasks to XML and keep those in a version system, where I can check and compare individual changes on the files and so on.I personally migrated my data from AbstractSpoon ToDoList to MyLifeOrganize, via XML ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPk2ZN5e27Q ), so I always keep everything in XML just in case MLO goes out of business, in order to be able to migrate back my data to TDL... Sorry but my data is the most valuable asset for me, I cannot put all eggs in one basket... Of course, if they implement something like that, I'd better use Dropbox or similar, but FTP still have the advantage of privacy, as you said.But it would be enough for me that the Android app just where able to select a different local file to open in XML format, one that I can take from Dropbox for example. That way I could at least read with the mobile app the changes I made with the desktop app... Do you know any way to import data from a file in Android, without using the MLO Cloud?
