What's the best way to copy DT3 databases to a new device?

With the portable Mac, your situation doesn’t necessarily require a remote sync option.

It’s a good idea to start your sync exploration with this question, “Do I need a remote sync option?” Consider these things…

  • Do you have a colleague, assistant, significant other, etc. that needs frequent updates to synced data?
  • Are you using a shallow sync, i.e., Download Files: On demand in DEVONthink To Go?

If the answer is no to either question, a local sync on your network is suggested. Beyond that, you have to accept the inherent weaknesses in remote sync options. This is laid out in more detail here…

So while we are supportive of making choices, we also try to suggest options that lead to less friction for all of you :slight_smile:
