Location of DEVONthink database

DEVONthink Tips
1

I am sorry if this has been answered before…

I am running macOS High Sierra and DEVONthink Pro, my main databases are stored on my documents folder but which is now in the cloud, which I believe is not recommended. How do I go about moving my databases to a more secure location and then synchronising it to a cloud based service? How do I make sure I don’t lose any files in the move?
Thanks for your help…

Imported files (DEVONthink’s default behavior) are copied into the database’s internal structure, so they travel with the database file.

  1. Quit DEVONthink.
  2. Make a new folder in your Home Directory.
  3. Drag and drop the .dtBase2 file(s) into the new directory.
  4. Double-click them to open them in DEVONthink.

Regarding Sync, it is covered in the manuals: devontechnologies.com/downlo … nuals.html.
Also, there are two Sync tutorials posted here: devontechnologies.com/suppor … rials.html
