Linearity has decided that they will force you to upload files to their cloud servers, with no opt-out. iCloud is being deprecated, and files cannot be stored locally anymore - everything will go into their cloud.

For context, you should read through these topics where objections were raised:

The Subscription Model

I should have no problem if a company wants to make money by sellings its products. Infact personally I am willing to pay for vectornator or any other product that you have in line. But I have a problem if a company tries to play around on how and when (subscription) I can own a product. Its one of the reasons why people flocked to vectornator because they were dissatisfied with other products.

Coming up next: Linearity Cloud

Hi everyone Today I’m excited to give you a heads up on what’s coming up with our next update! With our rebranding, we’ve announced that we have ambitious goals on stepping into the realm of more collaborative working. Linearity Cloud is the first step towards that and it will be a way for you to safeguard your files and work from any device at any time, online or offline! We wanted to give you a tour of the changes that are coming and what to expect. You can read all about Linearit…

There is no workaround apart from disabling Internet access (if you’re on a Mac you can do this for only Linearity using an application firewall such as Lulu).

Thanks for the concise reply. I feared as much as I could find no option to control where I want to store my files in preferences. There are some very good non-subscription paid alternatives for iPad for the cost of a couple burgers and fries that include options for icloud , dropbox, G-Drive etc like most other apps on the market. It’s time to move on.

Thank you both for your feedback. As mentioned in the other topic, we communicated our business approach and the changes coming beforehand.

In order for us to be able to take the next steps towards a more collaborative suite and seamless communication between both Linearity Move and Linearity Curve, a cloud functionality was essential. I understand how this might impact your decision of sticking to Linearity moving forwards. Rest assured, we are aware of your valuable feedback.
