Syncing a folder without the app running

Would it be possible to sync an app’s folder - without the app running?

I am just assuming that Corona does not support this, I am trying to figure out if this would be possible to achieve through platform-specific implementations. I see Apple has Core Data, iCloud and now the CloudKit - would any of these have services running in the background which could sync a sub-directory of an app?

Specificly, the data would be sounds.

As far as I know, in Corona, you cannot do anything while the app is not running.

This is a peace of cake on Android (Java). Don’t know about iOS natively.

The files in your system.DocuementsDirectory should be back up to iCloud when the device backs up.  That’s independent of the app running.  Other storage to the cloud is dependent on the app running.  Corona SDK does not currently support these directly.  To access this technology you would need Corona Enterprise for this.  Some people have gotten some non-Apple cloud features working through Parse.com, coronium.io, etc.
