I have just recently started using the User Documents feature, with the aim to add POH, checklists, helicopter circuit maps etc to try achieving a paperless cockpit.

I have noticed however that there is no way to sync these documents between devices. There also appears to be no way to rename documents. This causes problems in linking pdfs to airfields as you need to rename a pdf, then email it to yourself, then open it on skydemon on each device.

An alternative/workaround could be to sync User Documents to a Dropbox/google drive etc. So that any changes to the pdfs would be picked up by any device on loading.

I would suggest an improvement to be able sync everything with the save to/load from cloud option, rather than this being limited to settings/preferences and having to sync aircraft separately and documents manually.

As it is often easier to plan routes on an iPad but create/amend pdfs on a PC, I would like all devices to be in sync with as little effort as possible.

Good point, unless limited could be a big overhead for SD. Was thinking more along the lines of the data being stored in iCloud (like some other apps) or google/Dropbox etc and downloaded onto devices when required. It’s mainly the convoluted route of loading new docs that’s the issue. A “sync docs from Dropbox/iCloud etc” would be great, keeping the data off SD systems. Maybe the post should have been titled better!
