Ok, maybe it is now time to leave #evernote as they are suddenly demanding I stop syncing across too many devices and writing too many notes. Alternatively, I need to pay them even more money than I already do.
The best alternative seems to be #obsidian but I am wondering how to sync my Android device and Mac notebooks to Google Drive. Is there an easy way to do that? Last time around I tried Syncthing, but it was not a good solution. Obsidian sync is a bit pricey.

Tip of the day: In #DEVONthink and #DEVONthinkToGo, it’s easy to make as many databases as you’d like. However, there are times when you’ve made and synced databases you now deleted or perhaps just no longer want to sync but the unwanted databases keep showing up in the sync location. Here’s how to get rid of them. #pkm #productivity #sync #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20220308-remove-databases-sync-location

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: Smart groups are a good way to view items matching specific criteria, like all the flagged #PDFs in your #DEVONthink database. While it’s easy enough to make a smart group, if you find yourself doing the same search over and over, you can use it to create a smart group in a few clicks. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday #workflow https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20240102-reuse-search-devonthink-smartgroup

Tip of the day: When it comes to creating documents with images in #DEVONthink, the file format matters. For rich text and formatted notes, the data is embedded in the file, what can cause the documents to become overly large. Our utility ThumbsUp can help you resize images. #freeware #notetaking #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20231219-resize-images

Tip of the day: There are two ways to get data into #DEVONthink, importing and indexing. Importing copies files into your databases. Indexing allows you to keep your files in their locations in the Finder but still be used in your databases. Moving indexed files can cause them to appear as missing in the database. Here’s how to successfully handle such a move. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday #troubleshooting https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20211130-relocate-indexed-files
