I use a dedicated “handoff” database that is synced with multiple iOS devices and a MacBook Air. iI eventually move items from it to my longterm database on my iMac. I could never get Dropbox to reliably work sync, but CloudKit has been just fine. The devices are rarely in proximity to each other, and I have better things to do than manually sync when they are, so CloudKit syncing it a must for the way I work. (I had numerous problems with the “legacy” method, go figure.) As others have said, figure out what you actually need and implement the simplest strategy necessary.
