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

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