(Some people might only have that DEVONthink folder in the “Apps” folder, but others may have other folders that they still want to sync.) The instructions should clearly state that in the Dropbox preferences, you should continue to the advanced view and uncheck only the DEVONthink folder.

This is very misleading and could lead to data loss! Many people like myself have other apps (such as Day One) also syncing, and unchecking the “Apps” folder would probably result in the loss of those apps’ data. The instructions tell you to set the Dropbox preferences ( Preferences > Advanced > Selective Sync) to exclude the “Apps” folder. There are a few points I’d like to raise, and a few questions I’d like to ask about the new DEVONthink syncing method (particularly the Dropbox method), to clarify matters.įirstly, I think the instructions on how to set up the Dropbox sync should be changed.
