Broken Cloud Sync Android
It's been more than a month now, since SwiftKey stopped predicting my saved words, emails etc. Its very annoying and not at all time saving.
I'll appreciate if someone can point me to another keyboard other than gboard. I'm done with SwiftKey now. They couldn't care less about their customers. Tweeted them few times, no replies or anything. Just pathetic and sad experience now.
i agree. I used to love swiftkey, but now i have lost sync to all my new devices.
Pretty pathetic from them! Moved to Gboard for now.
Same problem here.
Hi. I hope someone form the company will take care of the issue. Lost all my predictions a week ago. And still predicting nothing.
It's sad to see such a good keyboard going down like this. They aren't even admitting the issue, let alone fix it.

Requested Swiftkey in 2019 about the restore functionality and cloud possibilities for shortcuts.
It would be great if a developer can create a way to edit the shortcuts and download and upload to a cloud,
Swiftkey needs to create this option, because users make a lot of shorcuts and they can't edit them easily.
It would also be amazing for an overview and alphabetical ordered system.
Importing and exporting shortcuts from friends and overwriting old ones but keeping the ones you want to use on all devices is a future we need to work on.. because this can help people to create faster devices and systematically use the shortcuts faster.

Yes i have the seem problem
Ok after efforts of many days I have found a work around and resolved the issue now my account is syncing.
First Uninstall previous SwiftKey keyboard, then download and install any old version app from Google and and sync your account then update the app from playstore. In my case I installed SwiftKey version 7.0.9.28.
How do you find older versions and when installed, won't it automatically update to the current version 7.3.7.20?
I'm very frustrated having lost over 7 years worth of prediction data and am unhappy with the new layout that shows numbers and symbols above the letter keys which I'd never seen until the latest updates. I also see no way to return to the simple layout without them. Thanks
Download the old version from this link.

You can switch to the simple layout by applying simple theme from the settings.
Thanks.. my phone won't allow it since it's an unknown source. Instead I removed the standard version and replaced it with the Beta and with luck it may sync with my old data.If not, the layout is FAR better than the standard version since it lacks the stupid numbers and symbols above the letter keys. The Swiftkey support seems to be nonexistent.
You can allow the installation from the settings if you wish
I tried the link for older versions but still didn't get my sync :(
Try installing the beta after removing and clearing the cache...Word prediction seems to be working well though I'm not sure yet whether all my data has been synced. It's much better than the current standard version was working though
