For my academic Workflow I have been testing Onyx Note Pro and Alita. Currently I am using Onyx, because they allow to directly open PDFs from Dropbox, handwritten annotate them and if you close, they are instantly and automatically updated on Dropbox with the annotations.
Further, the notes app of Onyx also can sync new notes directly with Dropbox. You can even set it to automatically activate WiFi for note sync if a new note is written and then it disables WiFi again after sync.
These cloud integrations and stability of workflow are key to me, that’s why I have quit Alita so far, even though Alita has several advantages. These are: better handwriting smoothing, which also works if PDF later opened on PC, better cropping of PDFs in PDF reader, sd card...

I would like to buy an Alita again if the following points are met:
1) Cloud Sync with Dropbox or Google drive

2) Direct opening of PDF files from Dropbox/Google drive, making annotations on the PDFs and directly syncing/Saving them back to Dropbox/Gdrive

3) automated sync/backup of new notes of notes app to Dropbox or g drive.

4) stability of workflow and no lost notes or annotations anymore. For example, when I tried Alita, this was the case if you made annotations, left the reader a bit and it went into sleep (without saving).

Could you let me know whether these points are resolved now?

Thanks
Dennis
