Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote-App/issues/1106

Current behavior

I'm following the steps to migrate converted local notes to a cloud space, and all that happens is that I get logged into a cloud account, no notes migrate.

This is really bad because I now can't access my last 2 years of notes. I also tried the new local app but that just won't open, so that's a separate issue.

I'd be really happy to get this working with a cloud account.

Expected behavior

Either the local notes would have migrated by following these steps, or from the logged in app state with a cloud account, I should be able to import an existing local space so that it migrates to my cloud account.

Steps to reproduce

Have a converted local space
Open the latest version of Boost Note, in which you cannot see your notes but can only see the "Local space feature has been deprecated" screen
Click the "Migrate to cloud space" button
Click the "Create Team Account" button
Click "Sign In" - (I already created a team account when trying to do this earlier)
Use the "Open Desktop App" button from the browser window that opens
Click to allow opening Boost Note.app
I'm now logged into a cloud account that didn't migrate my local notes and I can't find an option to do so

Environment

Desktop/Web

Boost Note.next version: 0.21.2
OS version and name: macOS Catalina 10.15.7

Hi,

Did you try clicking on the list of storages in the top left corner?

If you select file system local storage you will get the same deprecation page and then you can migrate the notes again.

Here is a showcase:

Do you have your local storage loaded into the application, or was it removed somehow?

Hi,

This issue of not showing the local space is because the cloud space navigator/selector does not show local spaces, in this case just restart the application and your space selector should show all of your spaces.

Then you can migrate your local space again.

I'm closing this, please reopen if needed.
