Steps to reproduce:
New install of Orion on MacOS (Ventura 13.0), iOS (16.0.3) and iPadOS (16.1). Import from Safari (all available options) on MacOS.
Nothing appears to be synced between devices. I have tried disabling and re-enabling Sync in Orion preferences/settigns on all devices, and disabling/enabling Orion in iCloud Drive settings with no effect.
Tested creating new tab groups on MacOS and iOS, these do not sync either.
Tested creating new bookmark on iOS, this does not sync to Mac or iPad.

Expected behavior:
Expected functionality as described in the Orio Features (see below, showing tabs from iOS devices on MacOS and vice-versa)

Orion, OS version; hardware type:
MacOS 13.0
Orion 0.99.121.1-beta (WebKit 614.1.20)

iOS 16.0.3
0.99.121.1-beta (WebKit 614.1.20)

iPadOS 16.1
Orion 1.1.7 (2) (WebKit 8614.2.9.0.10)

    borderlander42 changed the title to ICloud Sync Not Working (Tabs, Bookmarks and Passwords not showing on other devices) .

      For clarity / completeness, Safari sync works as expected on these same devices / connections.

        Same problem. Checked all the boxes but Orion has only imported the bookmarks and does not sync them with Safari any further. 🙁

        If it's not fixed, I'll be going back to Safari. No point in messing my bookmarks up.

          and does not sync them with Safari any further

          What do you mean by this? Orion and Safari do not sync data between themselves.

              I've installed orion browser on 3 macbooks, nothing is synced.
              Definitely not the profiles, and bookmarks.

                  I don't want to start a new post, so I will add more to this one.

                  The cross-device sync is not working for me too. I am adding websites to reading list on my iPhone, and they don't show up on iPad. The same applies to favorites tabs, none of the changes I made on my iPhone syncs to iPad.

                  I tried troubleshooting - which is, disabling and enabling back the sync - it does not help at all (I tried disabling on both devices, then enabling on iPhone first and then iPad).

                  I even tried to delete Orion on iPad completely - and - it pulled in some iCloud data, but the things it synced on new install are all the same as I had minutes before THE iPad. So, it looks like it just loaded back what was there stored for the iPad (not sure if this was from local storage, even after the removal of the app, or from the cloud) instead of pulling in what I would need - the data from the iPhone.

                  I wouldn't blame iCloud itself here, because I have dozens of apps with much more data than just tabs and reading lists, and they all sync seamlessly between my iPhone and iPad using the iCloud, I believe there's something more to it than to just blame Apple cloud.

                    I have the same issue with tabs not syncing between devices. I would love to be able to continue with a tab from the iPad on my phone or from phone on the mac. I have tried turning off/on the iCloud settings for Orion and also turning off/on the sync setting in Orion itself on each device.

                    If it was working, would I expect to see a folder named "Orion" in my iCloud drive? I don't see such a folder.
