AdGuard Pro Sync- iOS / Mac
- Thread starter ganja24
- Start date
We are working on the sync protocol right now:

It should be done by the end of the year.
The problem with cloud sync in our case is that sync will be cross-platform, and it makes things complicated.
Almost end of the year, when will iCloud sync arrive?
As you may have noticed, I am not really good with deadlines (*hate them
).What can I say for now: the work on cloud sync has started in the browser extension.
Mac, iOS and Windows will be next.
I came from Weblock and Adblock both with iCloud sync implemented ,
but now for past I am using AdGuard Pro on iOS and AdGuard on my Mac. Please implement iCloud sync, issue is on each device I have to block elements on my Fav websites for example my iPhone and iPad , if iCloud sync was implemented I don't have to repeat on every device I own. Also good thing is if I delete and reinstall AdGuard on my device my blocked websites and settings are saved on iCloud as of now they are not saved and have to manually enter all blocked elements and settings for my Fav websites. This is the only feature missing in the best Adblocking app. iCloud sync across iOS and macOS

Status:
First of all, we're doing it in the browser extension as it is the easiest way to do any experiments.
The current status:
1. We have implemented the "Adguard Sync" server, that allows to sync your settings through your Adguard personal account. This will be the default sync provider.
2. Additionally, we have implemented sync through Dropbox and Google Drive and Chrome storage (Chrome extension only, obviously).
3. The current state is "prototype", so there are a lot of issues to resolve.

What's the current state? Will this sync between ios and Mac OS devices? Do you need beta testers? I'll volunteer.
It'll be in the upcoming Win and Mac releases, iOS and Android shortly after that.
The sync will work with any version of AdGuard.
Regarding beta test, here you are:

@Boo Berry, I bumped to show interest in iCloud sync. Also, it doesn't really make sense to me that a sync feature will be added for Win/Mac and then later iOS/Android. This seems like something that would NOT be iCloud sync but something custom?
