/book summaries – Book summaries, subfolders for type (business, health etc)./bills – All regular bills, dated with company names and year/month.The structure of my folders (“groups”) within DevonThink itself is the same as per our article on Organizing your Files and Folders: It’s a little slower, but hey, no data corruption. What you need to do instead (and I just tested this) is put your database in /user/Documents/, then to select File > Synchronize inside DevonThink and authorize DevonThink to create a folder on your Dropbox which will act as a transactional/backup space for your database.
SYMBOLICLINKER VS MAC
The actual /user/documents folder on my Mac is basically empty, because everything sits within DevonThink.ĮDIT: As pointed out in the comments by Bill and Jim from DevonThink, you actually shouldn’t put your DevonThink databases in your Dropbox. Unlike iPhoto/Aperture, I haven’t had any issues with syncing the entire database file to Dropbox. I have one DevonThink database inside my /Dropbox/Documents/ folder on my Mac. One of the big features that I personally find very useful is to sync all select DevonThink documents to my iPhone/iPad and have digital copies of everything with me everywhere I go.

I’ve never tried the Pro or Personal editions, but most of this article is about basic setup so it should be applicable to all editions.


I personally use DevonThink Pro Office – the top-end edition. What I do know is that the basic setup I use works pretty well for me and most people I’ve shared it with. There’s no right way or wrong way to use it, and I’m pretty sure that I don’t personally know all the functions, workflows and options available within the program yet. In this article I want to provide you a basic introduction to how we use DevonThink.įor the uninitiated, DevonThink is a “Smart Document Management” application, that helps you manage your information and helps you go paperless.ĭevonThink is a very complex and customizable program.
