![]() ![]() I know the argument’s been had – DEVONthink isn’t a finder replacement, there’s benefit to being able to organize files differently in DEVONthink vs. This use case is actually why I index instead of import, but it’s super frustrating. To me it looks like sharing needs to be done via a separate service like Dropbox/Box/Google Drive.īut coming back to my use case, is there a better way to do it? To reach “Anyone” I can’t count on them being on the same LAN (and I only have a laptop so port forwarding wouldn’t work either). I don’t quite see how “sharing with anyone” is enabled by DevonTHINK alone. ![]() The DevonThink Office Pro marketing page states “Share your data with anyone, whether they use Mac or PC”. This is not an issue anymore though as everything works fine if I use the DevonTHINK inbox of the database MyDocuments. Only documents from the database “MyDocuments”. No documents from the global inbox appear in the search. The search field in my Mac client (DevonTHINK Pro Office" is at the top right (not left). The difference in behavior here is sometimes a bit unintuitive. But as I just discovered myself if I use the DevonTHINK default inbox, move the document to a group and use “Move to external folder” it works fine. If I move a document from this “MyInbox” group to another group and do a “Move to external folder” this is not reflected on disk (as moves between groups are not propagated to disk). The issue with the inbox (3) was that I was using a folder labeled “MyInbox” (not the standard inbox) on disk that was sync’d. Where are you seeing “Share with anyone” in our marketing copy, please? The marketing pitch for DevonTHINK office pro claims the software can do (scan your data, sync with all your devices, share with anyone) The searchField at the upper left works in the current database, including the Global Inbox. If you need to reorganize, do it in the Finder. There are many use case where the structure in the database wouldn’t match the structure in the Finder. This behavior may change in future releases but that is the current requirement.Ĭorrect, and that is by design. The setup you’ve discussed, using Dropbox and indexed folders sounds like the reasonable approach in your case.Ĭorrect. But setting this up is extremely hard, and in the end it’s not exactly a good user experience. What am I doing wrong here? It seems my use case is pretty much 100% what the marketing pitch for DevonTHINK office pro claims the software can do (scan your data, sync with all your devices, share with anyone). ![]()
