Is it possible to sync not using iCloud?

I want to be able to sync from iOS to Mac using Drafts, but I don’t want to use iCloud.

Essentially, I have a work computer and then I have a personal account. And I want to be able to brainstorm and brain dump ideas into Drafts and other links and bits and pieces so they are viewable on my Mac before I can organize them into where I want to store them or just leave them as they are as ideas.

Drafts is the quickest way to dump ideas into and be able to action from there. Sometimes I want to do that actioning on my phone. Sometimes I want to do that actioning on my computer. So therefore syncing is important. However, having the same iCloud account on both will be troublesome.

That is not currently an option. All of the sync is based on iCloud behind the scenes. It is a foundational pillar for the app.

Would mailing to Drafts or using the web capture options work for you? That’s how I capture stuff on my work PC that I want to review and process in Drafts on my personal devices later.
