Not possible to select zip file of Apple Journal backup.

uli_25

Hello!
I tried to import my Apple Journal files (file size 328 MB) using the Diarium migration tool. I selected my OneDrive account and navigated to the correct folder, but I couldn't select the correct ZIP file because it wasn't clickable.
I also tried a local download with the I also tried a local download with same result.

Enough RAM on iPhone available (see screenshot):

Diarium version: 3.1.87
OS + version: iOS 26.2
Device model: iPhone13

Does selecting the "AppleJournalEntries" folder work or does this just open the folder?

Can you please clarify what you mean by that and how exactly you tried?

I can choose the folder. This is working with each system (iPhone local storage, oneDrive, iCloud, ...), however the zip file is not clickable.

@uli_25 I tried to reproduce this issue and I'm a bit confused how you were able to get/create the ZIP files because (at least in my tests using) the latest Apple Journal App does not create a ZIP file, but instead a folder structure when exporting to "Files", iCloud or OneDrive.

And to import from a folder, you need to click on the folder in the picker UI from your screenshot and then use the "Open" Button on the top right. Is this not working for you?

I've made some adjustments to the Apple Journal migration that should allow selecting both ZIP files and folders (even though newer versions of Apple Journal only seem to export as folder structure)
