Hi

Just bought the OmniFocus iphone app and installed the OmniFocus 1.1 beta.

I don't have a WebDav server or a .mac account, so how can I sync my iphone with the desktop app? I noticed the 'Disk' option, can anyone shed any light on how that works?

Please tell me I'm not going to have to shell out for a mobile me account just to sync my tasks!

Thanks
Leanda

Ja...does this refer to the database location?

Thanks!

Omni should be clearer that users without access to a WebDAV server will not be able to sync with OmniFocus on the desktop. I suspect that many users see "Synchronized with your Mac via .Mac or WebDAV" and don't realize that means they must have a WebDAV server.

To avoid loosing those customers looking for syncing but without a WebDAV server, Omni should put up a clear tutorial on how to set one up (or, even better, make a free WebDAV setup utility).

Otherwise, there are going to be many disappointed customers...

This would be extremely helpful

count me in... I'm a web dev so I'm sure I'll figure how to setup a wevdav server locally, but a good old synch when pluggin the iPhone in the doc is an assumed functionality when you pay for an application... You should point that out clearly somewhere...

Do you know of any easily understandable resource that could guide me in setting up a local webdav server?

At the moment, OmniFocus needs a WebDAV server or iDisk between your computers or phones in order for them to sync up. The disk feature isn't used in OmniFocus for iPhone -- it's just a way to use a local location to sync your database (say to a thumb drive perhaps).

Fixed my syncing issue. I needed Sneakypeek. Be nice if that is there somewhere when first installing.

Greetings,

I've been using OmniFocus for quite awhile now and find it incredibly useful for managing my business. One major driver for buying the iPhone was the ability to run OF on it. However, I'm professional opposed to opening up unnecessary services on my laptop or leaving sensitive information in the cloud.

Are there any plans to allow a sync option via something other than through the cloud? (Running a local WebDAV server on my laptop means exposing that service, something I'd really prefer not to do.)
