How does DevonThink help you? How do you get the most from DT? A beginner still in doubt

This is the only database that is entirely indexed and on iCloud for 2 reasons:

  1. Imagine I am in Japan on a business trip and have been through an earthquake and tsunami. My hotel has been washed away along with my laptop. At this point I can hop onto any computer, log into iCloud and get documents that I need to escape. (Or indeed on my iPhone).

  2. This is part of my “what happens after I am gone” strategy. (see also How to advise family about using DT after my demise - #44 by Luminary99_0). I am making it easy for my family to find things after I am gone. None of them have DT experience, but all of them know the Finder & spotlight!
