Export thousands custom iPad fonts to use as back-up when re-install app and disappear?

[markdouglasgrant1]

Every few months my Photoshop on iPad will fatally freeze and become unresponsive. So I delete the app and reinstall. Every time, my brushes are missing -- not the standard ones, but my thousands of custom brushes. I repeat the process. Same result. The Photoshop App is not overloaded with files, nor is the iPad itself with files or apps. But that's just background info...

It takes well over an hour to replace the brushes. Since this happens so much, can I export or just copy the iPad fonts as a whole into iCloud, OS Photoshop, Creative Cloud or elsewhere? So that next time they all disappear, I can import them back all at once.

Oh man. That sounds frustrating. Can you share your system info? What iOS and Ps version are you using? Exactly how many brushes you're trying to use?  ^CM

Hello.

Photoshop iPad 5.5.2

iPad Pro 2022, 6th gen, iPadOS 17.6.1, Model MNXU3LL/A

Have around 2,500 custom brushes. And not "trying to use." They all work great. They just disappear when app is re-downloaded from Apple Store after it fatally crashes. But I've already been over this extensively with Support and there is no answer. I'm only asking about exporting them in whole as a back-up next time this happens.

Thank you.

I'm so dumb. Obvious solution. Individual files are already in iCloud and Downloads Folders. Make a copy of each and put in one folder. Next time it happens, import that folder into Photoshop.

And this is why I'm a Community Beginner.

No, you are not a beginner at all. We're glad that you found the solution and thank you for sharing with us too.

Have a great day!
