Newbie here - possible to specify download rules for DTTG?

I’m a new user - working with just one database for now. If I understand correctly, if I download an entire database to my iphone, all items are fully downloaded and take up space on my phone. If I select On Demand, only items I select are downloaded. he

Is it possible to automatically download items based on file type, tag, or label? I would like to download my notes (rich text, markdown, or text) but not other file types (pdfs, videos, etc.).

Thanks!

No, this is not possible. If you have them in a specific group, you could set the Download Files option for the group to Always. Otherwise, you would have to download items manually as you need them.

OK thanks! Do you work at Devon?

One more question - can I specify that all new items go into the global inbox instead of database inboxes? Or can I delete database inboxes completely?

  • Yes, I work fit DEVONtech.
  • Are you referring to DEVONthink or DEVONthink To Go?
  • No you can’t remove the inboxes.
