Completely unclear where files are saved. Probably on Mindnode servers without permission of users. It is impossible to associate a mind map with a file or folder. That means that you have to search the mind map structure each time you want to review an associated mind map. The developers of MindNode are not aware of the use of files and folders. They refuse to understand that there is more in this world than MindNode.
I'm sorry you're feeling this way! Documents in MindNode Next are stored in CloudKit and not in iCloud Drive or a third-party sharing provider.Most new Apple apps, like Notes, Photos, and Freeform are non-document-based apps. They all use CloudKit to store data. CloudKit is the backing sever technology Apple uses for all of its web services. Also, iCloud Drive is built on top of it.One great benefit of using a synced database in MindNode Next over files stored in iCloud Drive in MindNode Classic is that the system doesn't offload your documents and they are always there. Even when offline on an airplane. This is why we decided to switch to this storage option. However, we are aware that storing your files in the Finder or on your desktop is a valuable feature. Therefore, we createt a feature called Alias. It allows you to store the files outside of MindNode by draging it on to your desktop. Also, feel free to re-download MindNode Classic from our website, which uses iCloud storage.
