NEW to DT. Syncing local files to DT

DEVONthink
1

This is my first day as a paid customer.

Here’s what I did

  • Imported a dropbox folder to set up a database.

  • created a Pages document and saved it directly to the dropbox folder OUTSIDE of DT.

Here’s what I observed.

  • The new file IS NOT in DT.

NOTE: I’m only needing to be Local-to-local at the moment. No need for shared devices right now.

How do I set DT to read the dropbox folder that is local on my M1 Air?

I suggest to read up on indexing vs. importing in the documentation.

Welcome @sidvicious

I strongly advise you to read and understand that section of the help before jumping into “automating it”. It’s not an option to jump into without forethought.
