Sorry if this has been asked before… I just purchased RM2 and my files and notes seem to be syncing wirelessly without ever having set up connect. Am I missing something? I don’t see what the value of connect is…

Files will sync wirelessly if they’ve been edited in the last 50 days. Once you go 50 days without editing a file, it will no longer sync to the cloud.

With Connect, you won’t have that limitation. That’s not the only advantage of Connect but it’s probably the main one. If you want to try Connect, it’s free for a year

Can't we use Google drive to sync files we need and bypass remarkable subscription requirements?

Kind of. The Google Drive integration lets you easily make copies of files from your google drive to see on your ReMarkable but it’s not actively syncing that file, it’s a copy. And if you want to update the file in drive, you can export the ReMarkable copy and import it into drive and delete the original, but it’s a several steps.

I’ve found that if I don’t edit a file for 50 days, I might need to reference it but I probably don’t need it changed. If you do need to edit it, I think you can make a copy in ReMarkable and delete the original
