I could (and maybe I should) use DTPO instead. Instead, a "copy" of every email that I ever receive gets forwarded to an Gmail "archive account". I choose to NOT import all of my email into DTPO. Everything that we get electronically that we want to keep gets pushed into DTPO. Everything that we have that is paper gets scanned and inserted into DTPO. I am one of the guys who uses DTPO as a document management system. and it happens instantaneously (maybe a second). and the other machine will keep itself in sync. Either of us can search our local copy of the DTPO database, add new items to it, use it's AI to file things away, etc. and DTPO keeps our two databases in perfect sync. Regarding the sync functions: I do keep a "parallel" DTPO database on my wife's iMac. so there is nothing in common between DTPO and my OSX file system to keep in sync. I have DTPO set up to delete items that I import into the database. and quite frankly, I do not think it does that at all. I do not use it to manage any data outside of the database.
#DEVONTHINK PRO OFFICE SYNC PRO#
I can clarify a few things about DevonThink Pro Office (DTPO)ĭTPO is designed to use with data in its own database. I do not use Curio, so I really cannot comment about it. Look forward to hearing how others use both Curio and Devonthink and in particular if people find Devonthink really useful in day to day work. The "sync" features of Devonthink seem to be aimed at keeping Devonthink DBs in sync, but I could be wrong about that. Related to this, if files change on the local file system (new, deleted, modified), do I need to re-import them into DT?
#DEVONTHINK PRO OFFICE SYNC HOW TO#
One thing I haven't figured out is how to keep what's in my trial version of Devonthink in sync with the file system (on the local mac) from which I imported it. Just wondering if these applications are essentially redundant or so close, I really would never miss Devonthink.

I've read postings where people say to think of Devonthink is a "document management" system, so perhaps I could use it to track other project aspects. So much in fact, I'm not sure how Devonthink could even approach that.

I use Curio every day and find it an excellent note taking program. I've read other posts here about the merits of both DevonThink Pro Office and Curio, but am considering adding Devonthink to my workflow.
