The Inbox folder in /Library/Application Support/DevonThink Pro 2/Inbox.Plugins and FunctionsĭevonThink comes with an number of plugins and functions too, such as: You can get this same layout by using COMMAND + 5 to switch to the 3 panes view then OPTION + COMMAND + W to switch to widescreen. Click to Enlarge.Īs you can see I like my fonts big and my layout in widescreen. Here’s what my actual DevonThink configuration looks like: My DevonThink Layout.

Smart searches appear at the bottom of your folders list. One thing that I have found them useful for, is for creating simple smart searches, such as this “Reminder” tag which highlights documents that I review on a regular basis. I personally am not a huge fan of tags in general, so I don’t use them all that much. Includes itineraries, confirmation printouts etc.ĭevonThink comes with a very powerful tagging system. /profile photos – Some profile photos for uploading to various social media sites etc./roadmaps – Roadmaps for goals, system maps for areas of life./recipes – Kitchen recipes in text files./receipts – All receipts scanned and tagged with date and vendor.Think of them as recipes for things that are not food. /processes and scripts – Various scripts or directions for things that I commonly do./personal – Various letters and documents (sorted into subfolders), notes on hobbies (e.g., boardgame tactics), miscellany./life management – Documents related to goals, stories, motivation./identity documents – Scans of commonly used identity documents, like my passport, driver’s licence etc./health – Subfolders for dentist, doctor, gym, insurance, physical therapy, test results./finances – Subfolders for banks, countries, types (insurance vs banking vs investments), financial planning stuff./fashion – Notes, documents and media related to fashion and style./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.

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. Travel itineraries and related documents.Personally, I don’t use DevonThink for storing “information sets” like processes and scripts – those go into Evernote instead. I like the idea of being 100% paperless, so every sheet of paper that enters my life is scanned and stored within DevonThink. I personally use DevonThink for storing files and documents. 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.
