Devonthink pro indexing add zip#
Send the output (it makes a zip file) to iCloud for offsite backup with added feature it’s compressed saving your disk space (which you seek to do). Re backup if you have files IMPORTED into DEVONthink and want to go the extra step beyond TimeMachine or other real backup service, remember you can use the “Daily Backup to Archive” script in the “Export” menu in the Scripts folder. Instead, are you saying that Google Suite does not do two way sync with your Mac’s file system copy of the files on Mac? I don’t use or ever used Google Suite, but I’ve played with Google Drive and it seems to sync both ways–but I never used those files as source to index into DEVONthink (because I never had to). How does it work at all? That is a mystery to me. Google Suite is not on the list of sync service providers for DEVONthink. One last question then I’ll stop bothering you … So job done, I guess.īecause GD does not sync two ways with DT, What you are doing is much different than what I’m doing, but the results seem to be the same with your successful addition of iSync. Why not delete them if disk space a concern? If in DEVONthink, then they would sync up to wherever you have your sync location, and then on the other machine (presumably running DEVONthink and setup to sync), those files would move over. That is why if I wanted the file to be in Dropbox (or Google Suite file system for you), I would put the file there and then it would show up in the DEVONthink index. So that I understand … when you put a document INSIDE DEVONthink (not into the file system directly), you are expecting Google Suite to reach into DEVONthink and sync? Yes, I can see how that’s not possible. I am now able to create the documents in GD, iCloud or DT and they sync across all platforms and apps. It works perfectly syncing in both directions between DT and GD–so my problem has been solved. All of my changes synced perfectly across GD and DT.
Devonthink pro indexing add trial#
I’ve downloaded the trial version and created multiple documents in both GD and DT, revised them, and deleted them. I don’t want to use up that much disk space.

Because my institution uses Google Suite for collaboration, I have to ensure that documents I create for work purposes are available in GD.I have two reasons for indexing rather than importing: Yes, it is simple to import files to DT, in fact, it is simpler than indexing. I don’t quite get why you think that to move stuff will require some juggling of files and folders, but that your choice It’s simple to import files into DEVONthink and then from there do your organising to the extent you wish. Both documents available on DEVON Technologies’ web site.

Devonthink pro indexing add manual#
I recommend you read “Taking Control of DEVONthink Pro” e-book, and then scan the DEVONthink Manual another time. You didn’t really say that in your posting above, but I trust there is a goal in mind. It’s all down to what it is you wish to achieve. Then my collaborators can see and use the sync-ed Dropbox file and their changes will automatically sync back to me and be re-indexed in DEVONthink. Other cloud service providers probably work, but I find Dropbox works best. The files that I keep “indexed” are those files that I need to share with others for collaboration or other reasons to share. You’ve already got the basic segregation of three databases each with a specific goal/deliverable/purpose in mind. Inside databases, basic high-level groups is all that is required to get started.

That being said, I find that it is NOT necessary to do as much organising into Groups (sort of like Folders in the file system) in DEVONthink since with Smart Groups and Searching being as great as it is, you can easily find things. I don’t quite get why you think that to move stuff will require some juggling of files and folders, but that your choice.
