Access to iCloud Drive by non-MAS apps may be more open than I previously thought. I’m intrigued.

@mjtsai@mmunz@danielpunkass iCloud drive (whatever udb was renamed to in Yosemite) would still mark a file as busy during transfer.

@rosyna @mmunz @danielpunkass Right, but you have to check each file's individual icon, and no support for packages.

@mjtsai You can set the busy field on a folder. And Safari downloads in progress are packages. -
@rosyna I mean if you want to read a folder or package on iCloud Drive. Sounds like the daemon is not going to report the overall state. -
@mjtsai But when you read a folder on package on iCloud drive, you're just reading it from ~/Library/Mobile Documents/. -
@rosyna Right, but you don't know that the constituent files are all done syncing or even in a consistent state. - View other replies

@mjtsai If it's like other syncing stuff that use atomic saves with a temp folder, files in there will *always* be consistent -
@rosyna I doubt that would apply to most of the cases I'm thinking about. Still, would be nice to test it with TextEdit. -
@mjtsai Examples of the cases you are thinking of? (And shoving huge applications in rtfd documents is a good way to test a lot of things!) -
@rosyna For example, any "library" style application or an application that wants to sync its non-document App Support folder. - Show more

@mjtsai@rosyna@danielpunkass No pending status, but pretty sure FC will notify you if file is updated by iCloud Drive daemon. -
@mmunz@mjtsai@danielpunkass Are you able to test this? (I'd like to know for sure) -
@rosyna@mjtsai@danielpunkass Haven’t had a chance to test it yet. Basing comment on Apple’s File Coordination presentation.
