Syncing option for drafts between devices on different iCloud accounts

Feature Requests

I think there should be an option to create an account, and have drafts sync through that account.

Because for example I have my iPad on an iCloud account that I use for work. But then, I have my personal iCloud account on my personal phone.
I would like to be able to switch between my iPad, work phone, and personal phone and keep my drafts through them all.

But, however, I can’t because there is only an iCloud sync option…

For info - the sync system is built on Apple Cloud Kit, so it is fundamental to the current architecture. Adding and supporting other sync solutions will certainly have some technical dn resourcing challenges.

We do not have plans to support non-iCloud sync methods at this time. Understood that this is a limitation for some but we are not interested in running our own backend sync service.

We prefer the current situation where you only have to trust Apple (with their industry-leading security and privacy protections) with your data.

Any updates on this? Is it too much to ask for other options? I’d like to use, for example, something like Proton Drive so I can sync data to solve the same problem OP is encountering. I assume this would not require you to run your own backend, it’s just an integration.

Thanks!

Does Proton drive seamlessly replicate the required database sync requirements that iCloud is doing,and how would this integrate with the web capture and mail drop interfaces to Drafts? It looks like a plain secure file storage system to me rather than the tech Drafts is tapping I to on the Apple infrastructure - see my previous note above.
