It doesn’t need to return the single note I need but it should have enough intelligence to prioritize better matches and get me to what I want quickly. A search should find exactly what I need within a few seconds.Here are my top level requirements for taking notes: While moving my files, I also took the opportunity to think through my primary needs and do a little house cleaning along the way. If Dropbox dies a painful death, I’m hopeful that DEVONtech would quickly move syncing to another provider like Apple or Box.com. I’m still reliant on Dropbox (and CloudMe) for syncing but the content is encrypted before it makes it to their servers.

I moved my entire collection of notes to DEVONthink Pro Office and DEVONthink To Go for iOS. I really don’t feel comfortable putting all of my plain text documents in Dropbox unencrypted. I’m also concerned about the ever expanding interest in and power to access personal documents on-line. I worry about their commitment to their core competency, which is document syncing. The tremendous improvements with DEVONthink on iOS and the secure end to end encryption with their Mac application have made it a compelling capture and reference manager.Īlong with my “concerns” about Dropbox I’ve been disappointed with their attention in 2016.

But 2016 brought some new innovations and concerns.

I can search and edit my large collection of notes almost anywhere that I’m sitting. The benefit of this system is that so many iOS applications sync with Dropbox. I’ve long used nvALT and Dropbox to maintain my collection of notes on my Mac.
