OneDrive for Business + Quine

#1

Is anyone here using this combination? I just bought Quine (iOS) hoping to edit wikis stored in OneDrive and despite any combination of “bookmarking” as the app tells me, I can’t create or edit existing wikis on OneDrive from Quine, despite it looking like I can. Can’t tell if this is a “me issue” or if this is just not supported. I’m open to any other way of editing a wiki from OneDrive on an iPhone if there are other reasonably easy options.

Well looks like I’m alone here, but thanks to @XLBilly I found a way to at least view wikis from work.

For others (and future me), here are the steps:

  • On iOS, open the OneDrive for Business app, goto “My Files” and find the wiki file
    • Don’t bother trying to just open it, won’t work
  • Click the three dots and select “Make Available Offline”
  • Go back to the Home tab and at the bottom there’s a section for “Offline Files”, click to open it
    • Don’t bother trying the right click the “Open in Another App” here yet, won’t work
    • It’ll open in that “This TiddlyWiki contains the following tiddlers” way
  • Click the three dots in the top right and now select the “Open in another App”
  • How you’ll see an option for “Open in in Microsoft Edge”, that’ll now work.

Note that (somewhat obviously) it won’t work if you’re using external javascript like I was, had to revert.

I’m using quine 2, on iPad, but have only minor problems so far.

I’m using the local save option under on my iPad/Quine.

The file opens directly.

Every time it saves though a message pops up that says no backup could be made.

I can upload directly from there to tiddlyhost.

I duplicate before exporting to tidlyhost, after dumping the old backup to a backup directory. at 3.5 Mb each the 90.000+ i can save should last me a while, so i keep all versions.

When downloading from tiddlyhost after making changes with a friend there. the download predictably ends up in downloads and after dumping the original in the backup directory it can be moved and renamed.

So aside from the minor annoyance all works very well.

Do you have the Quine 2 version of the app? If not that could be the problem.

Hello Terry, yes I have Quine 2. To be clear, it works fine “alone” when using the standard files area. Where I can’t get it working is to edit a file through it’s cloud connectors to OneDrive. OneDrive and Edge work to read. But since I’m limited to OneDrive for file storage, I’m trying to bridge the gap.
