Menu File > Add to Sidebar
Of course only Apple knows the answer (at best). There is a menu item though—and a shortcut (CTRL-CMD-T) too—just not in the context menu. While removing a folder from the sidebar is possible by context menu … well …
It’s Menu / File / Add To / Favorites at me.
And it adds a DT folder to the Favorites of DT but NOT to the Finder - and esp. not within the file system:
But this does not seem to be accessable in the file system for other Apps, like a terminal session.
At least, I cannot find it there.
Cryptomator does something similar, but offers regular access over the file system, visible as mounted Volume.
The above method is only a virtual entry, but does not offer file system access.
I think that we have a misunderstanding, because I misused the name “Favorites”.
I meant access to any other application, as I wanted to offer access to DT content in the file system - i used “Favorites” wrong, because the Global Inbox could be added to the Favorites and I thought that this meant the folder to be accessable in the file system, like for Cryptomator:
mini:~ tja$ mount | grep Crypto
Cryptomator@macfuse0 on /Volumes/CRYPTOMATOR_ONEDRIVE (macfuse, nodev, nosuid, synchronous, mounted by tja)
So, the content is accessible in /Volumes/CRYPTOMATOR_ONEDRIVE
I missunderstood the option to add the DT Global Inbox to the Favorites as doing something similar.
Sorry for the confusion
This
refers to the Finder, doesn’t it?
Finder menu File > Add to Sidebar
We still seem to misunderstand.
I meant accessing DT content in the file system, which i thought that adding a Favorite would also give.
Like in my Cryptomator example:
mini:~ tja$ cd /Volumes/CRYPTOMATOR_ONEDRIVE/
mini:CRYPTOMATOR_ONEDRIVE tja$ ls
total 480

Access for all other Apps!
That’s possible with indexed
folders:
But you can’t access non indexed
, i.e. imported, DEVONthink contents from Finder.
This has already been explained in the thread you linked.
Not sure why you think all other users and DEVONthink staff didn’t mention a way to do it if it were possible.
Yes, and this is what I try to explain again and again.
I meant access to DT content, really imported content!
NOT indexed content, as this is - total logically - automatically available in the Finder and the file system!
And again, this was a misunderstanding!
I thought that this would be possible with the Global Inbox, when added to the Finder Favorites and had the hope, that this way I could access all of the content in the Global Inbox.
