So, DEVONthink To Go has its uses to sync the relevant files from your DEVONthink database to your mobile device (iPhone, iPad, iPod) - but it also has a couple of risks. Especially if the iPhone and the iPad both have 64 GB - more than enough to hold the important files (although not enough to hold all files).
DEVONTHINK TO GO SYNC FULL
After all, if you deal with file sizes up to 300 MB (for full color textbook scans), it’s just no fun to use Cloud services. However, they do require an Internet connection and there are just a lot of situations where you do not have or want to use it. There is currently a lot of focus on Cloud services (iCloud, Dropbox, Google, etc.) - which do have advantages (esp. Thinking a bit more about the last posting about DEVONthink To Go, I still think that it is - essentially - a much needed App. “The Cat Who Walks Through Walls” by Robert A. Now they massed only a few grams and occupied space no larger than my middle finger-twenty million words of file storage. Before the days of electronic filing these records would have been a tonne and a half of paper in half a tonne of steel, all occupying several cubic meters. I now had all the files necessary to my business: contracts, business letters, file copies of my copyrighted works, general correspondence, address files, notes for stories to be written, tax records, et cetera, and so forth, ad nauseam. Then I removed all my memory wafers from the terminal’s selector, fed them into the cylinder that is the “shinbone” of my prosthesis, closed it and put it back on. I sat down at the terminal, took off my prosthesis (peg leg, if you prefer), opened its top. I use Sony Megawafers, each good for half a million words, each two centimeters wide, three millimeters thick, with information packed so densely that it doesn’t bear thinking about. This dichotomy could have made me schizoid were it not for the most wonderful invention for writers since the eraser on the end of a pencil: electronic files.

DEVONTHINK TO GO SYNC PROFESSIONAL
Writers are pack rats, mostly, whereas professional military learn to travel light, again mostly. (Example: DEVONthink to Go for iOS does not have smart rule support at all, so it wouldn't be possible to use that in service of this goal.Having dumped ninety percent of my packing onto Gwen I tackled the hardest ten percent: my business records and files. However, watch out for the fact that it probably wouldn't work on iOS. That said, I think if you were only looking for a way to send files from DEVONthink to Zotero, it probably wouldn't be difficult to implement.
DEVONTHINK TO GO SYNC PDF
My approach to using the two has been to put papers always in Zotero first, and use Zotero only to manage the bibliographic data and generate bibtex everything else, including reading notes and annotating PDF files, I do in DEVONthink.ĭEVONthink think can index external folders, so by indexing Zotero's PDF folder, it's possible to view PDFs in DEVONthink and use DEVONthink's excellent PDF reading/annotation interface to mark up the PDF, and have the changes stored directly in the PDF that is kept in Zotero.ĭeveloping a habit of always turning to Zotero to ingest articles, instead of adding them to DEVONthink first, was not difficult for me. Regarding the direction from DEVONthink to Zotero: I'm sorry to say I've only worked on the Zotero to DEVONthink direction.
