If Agenda and Ulysses and half the other applications I own can do this, why can't Alfred after all these years and all these PowerPack upgrades? Is there some way at least that Alfred can modify this file in such a way that iCloud Drive regards it as "actively used" so it doesn't get purged?Īs an aside, why does Alfred not support some kind of proper built-in syncing mechanism? I find it just a bit frustrating that sync is left to the user to sort out. Pretty much every other app on my Mac uses iCloud and it works well generally. When I look at the file's modification date, I see it's many years old. Under iCloud's Optimized Storage, Alfred's preferences are often the only thing in the folder they're in that gets purged. Since I'm not willing to install and run Dropbox continually just for Alfred, I'm in a bind.

Unfortunately I can't disable it because I don't have room on my secondary Mac. The sync settings help page basically just tells me I can either 1) install Dropbox or 2) use iCloud Drive only if Optimize Storage is disabled. I would like the preferences to sync between the two.


I have two Macs, and I like to have Alfred running on both.
