“Alles neu macht der Mai,” Germans are saying. We do it already in April! We have just released maintenance updates for all three editions of DEVONthink as well as for DEVONnote. The update improves the reliability of synchronization, clipping with the Clip To DEVONthink browser extension as well as the bookmarklets, and many other parts of the apps. If you’re using the new web interface of DEVONthink Pro Office you’ll like that we have made it a lot faster. We...
DEVONthink 2.5 is here with syncing and web sharing
Using multiple computers, working from different places, sharing data with coworkers: In today’s highly connected world it’s essential to always have access to the latest data. And because we know that, of course, we worked hard on creating the most versatile yet robust synchronization technology and rewriting the build-in web server of DEVONthink Pro Office. All editions of DEVONthink 2.5 synchronize databases between multiple computers and locations either directly or via Dropbox, WebDAV, file servers, or just any mountable disk....

Last betas before Christmas
Christmas is near but we have worked up to the last minute to provide you with the latest builds before we switch off our Macs and spend some relaxing days with our families. Public beta 3 of our sync technology fixes a few minor but annoying bugs and public beta 4 of the web sharing plugin improves the whole user experience. How to get them? First check the system requirements. Sync need DEVONthink Pro or Pro Office 2.4.3 or higher, web...
Syncing and web sharing explained
In the recent weeks we have released both DEVONthink’s new sync feature as well as a rewritten web interface for DEVONthink Pro Office as public betas via my blog. If you installed the plugins but are still unsure if you really exploit their potential check out our two new screencasts. Thirteen minutes well spent! Ray demonstrates how you can work on one database with multiple users on the local network and how you set up sync locations, e.g Dropbox, and keep your...
DEVONthink sync technology — public beta 2
In June we announced the first public beta of our sync technology for DEVONthink. For several months now, we’ve focused on making our sync technology reliable and easy to use regardless of your situation. Whether you have several small text-only databases or several large databases with gigabytes of PDFs, whether you use Dropbox or WebDAV or a direct connection (or all three!), whether you’re using a low-bandwidth mobile network or a corporate intranet, you should be able to rely upon Sync...
How to use DEVONthink Pro (Office) in a team
Out of the box DEVONthink is a workplace solution for one person. You install it on your Mac and use it. There are, however, possibilities to use it in a team. Use a mountable file server (AFP), WebDAV drive, or Dropbox account and our new sync plugin to keep multiple copies of the database(s) in sync. Every team member uses DEVONthink Pro (Office) locally with full performance and access to all its advanced features. The sync plugin draws changes from...
DEVONthink sync technology — public beta 1
As announced two weeks ago, we are releasing our sync technology for DEVONthink as a first public beta today. We have spend time fixing various issues and laying the foundation for much faster Dropbox and WebDAV syncs (as soon as the rest of it is implemented in beta 2, syncs will automatically become a lot faster) in the meantime. So, here’s public beta 1 of our sync technology that allows you to synchronize databases directly between your Macs, indirectly via e.g. shared folders on a...
DEVONthink sync technology public beta 1 on Jun 11
After my update on March 20, here’s another update on our sync plugin. We spent the last few weeks testing and fixing all the found issues. This leaves us for the public beta 1 with only minor issues left: a few memory leaks are annoying but harmless, the Dropbox and WebDAV syncs still spend too much time checking the state of the remote sync store (but work very efficiently otherwise), and a couple of user interface changes we would like to do. So, what’s...
Update: DEVONthink sync technology
Many people are asking us what happened to our sync technology that we announced a while ago — and rightfully. It’s time for a FAQ about the state-of-the-sync. What will it sync? It will sync databases directly between Macs or using sync stores on file servers, Dropbox, or WebDAV. Using sync stores it can keep many copies of the databases in sync. A sync store can hold multiple databases. Why does it take you so long? Synchronizing is a complex...
