Tip of the day: Mobile devices have come a long way. They’re surely more powerful than they used to be with increasing amounts of storage capacity. However, not all devices have a large amount of available space. This can pose a problem when trying to import and sync your #DEVONthinkToGo databases. Here are some things to consider in this situation. #sync #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20220531-shallow-sync-devonthink-to-go

Tip of the day: Many people use tags as a way to add some context to their documents. We have blogged on the subject more than once, but one option some people may not be aware of is nested (or hierarchical) tags. These are tags with child tags, or related tags within tags. Here’s how you can make and use them in #DEVONthink. #pkm #productivity #tagging #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20220809-nested-tags

Tip of the day: We have had some requests from people that want to use #DEVONthinkToGo only for capturing data, not for carrying databases around with them. They just want to capture, sync, then clean out the mobile database. Our sync is a mirroring sync, so this isn’t possible on its own. However, it is possible if you’re refiling the items on another device. #devonthink #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20210709-devonthink-only-for-capture

Tip of the day: In #DEVONthink and #DEVONthinkToGo, you’ll see fields for a username and password in the properties of a database. These are the database credentials. While it looks like they would lock a database from access, they don’t.
