![]() ![]() ![]() For example, if you’re using a Dropbox sync you must authenticate to the same Dropbox account, use the same sync store name, and use the same value for the encryption key. You must set up the same sync location on both devices.This is covered in the in-application help of both apps as well as their manuals. ![]() Syncing is always set up in DEVONthink’s Preferences > Sync or DEVONthink To Go’s Settings > Sync: Locations. Only imported or copied databases will sync as they are true copies of the database with the same internal identifier. Note: You cannot sync two databases that were created separately but have the same name. Possible sync locations are cloud services like iCloud, Dropbox, or a WebDAV service or server, or another device running DEVONthink or DEVONthink To Go. On an iOS/iPadOS device, you don’t have the option to copy the database in the same way, so you need to import the database from an active sync location in DEVONthink To Go.You can import the database from an active sync location instead and regularly sync it so the two copies are always in the same state. However, unless you’re using DEVONthink’s sync, the content of the two copies will soon differ. On a Mac, you can copy the database to another Mac via external hard drive.Every device has its own local copy of a database and sends changes to other copies of the database through sync. The first thing to understand is that there is no “copy” of a database in the cloud nor are you “connecting” to the database on another device. In order to have this happen you need to sync the databases in DEVONthink and/or DEVONthink To Go. But you want to have the same database in the same state on another Apple device - again, Mac or mobile. It all starts with this basic situation: An Apple device, Mac or mobile, has a database. Initial ConceptsĪs detailed in the chapter In & Out > Sync of the documentation, syncing is actually a simple process. Here are some tips and things to understand about syncing. When it comes to syncing in DEVONthink and DEVONthink To Go, some people wonder or get confused about how to “get my databases on both devices”. ![]()
