@mjtsai @danielpunkass @rosyna Sounds right. File coordination is Apple’s shared files access solution. NSDocument just does it for you.

@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.

@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. -
@mjtsai I'm hoping only the changed files in a bundle/folder structure are synced (the "truth" can be learned server-side).

@mjtsai I only have access to one mac so I cannot look at the file as it is being downloaded. But I hope they are saved in an atomic manner! -
@mjtsai If you have two macs, you can test it. Make a text edit document, drag a huge application (yes!) into the document, save it.
