Bring back multiple sync options
UPDATE: Its become rather obvious that the developer replaced the previously reliable Dropbox sync with his own wildly unreliable custom sync backend so that he can eventually charge users an ongoing subscription fee. Rather than being honest about this he continues to tout the new sync mechanism—a mechanism that, as of this writing, has been down for several days.
PREVIOUSLY: Overall a great update and Im happy to support the developer but I think the removal of Dropbox sync is fishy. Forcing everyone onto a custom backend feels like a prelude to charging users a monthly subscription fee. I actually wouldnt have any issue with supporting the app on that basis, I just dont think the baked-in Day One sync is as robust or trustworthy as Dropbox. The developer claims users were experiencing data loss. Ive been using the app for over four years, all over the world, and have never once experienced this issue.
