In addition while the Drafts action would allow to edit the same DTTG note over and over again in Drafts each editing iteration would create a new version of that note in Drafts. But it does not require DEVONthink on the Mac. The Drafts action scenario described requires DTTG as the starting point. Of course this would not be the same as notes in a place where different apps simply have access to them and each of them can always display the latest state of these notes, no matter in which other app they have been edited. If it works it would also be possible to combine the Create New Note in DTTG action with the Edit Note from DTTG action by letting the script look if there are x-devonthink-item informations in a specific paragraph of the note (trigger Edit Note action) or not (trigger Create New Note action). Of course this action should only hand over everything below the x-devonthink-item line as note content. Then you can edit the note in Drafts and it should be possible to create a second Send to DTTG action that does not create a new note but uses the provided x-devonthink-item informations to alter the linked DTTG note. If you do so the note opened in Drafts looks something like this: Test Note To edit this DTTG note not in DTTG but in Drafts you should NOT use “Open In” but use Draft’s Share icon in DTTG. So far, so good, but again, just one-way. So all of the above Drafts note will be the DTTG note. I modified it because I rarely do write notes with headings and want the whole of the note to become the content. When you use the DTTG action provided by Agile Tortoise, the creators of Drafts, the first line will become the title, the rest the content of the note. Say, you have written this note in Drafts: Test Note I just haven’t tested it because I did see no need to. Nonetheless I dare to contribute to this thread because I think there might be a way to go both directions. Most of these notes I do not edit on my iPad and for the almost always minor edits of the rest the editing capacities of DTTG suffice. Simply because DEVONthink is the place to be for informations of all kinds, as you all well know. But in my case most of the notes created in Drafts I sent to DEVONthink To Go. Because of its flexibility it has the power to be THE text hub on iOS/iPadOS devices. I am using Drafts as my note taking app on the iPad. With the current iOS options, I guess to make this kind of Dropbox workflow work seamlessly, it would require DEVONthink To Go support directly indexed folders through Dropbox API, or something to that extent. It’s not optimal and takes some mental burden to consider what is editable on DEVONthink, etc. I have some other databases that I primarily manage on DEVONthink, such as a scientific documents database and office/receipts kind of database that I can modify on DEVONthink Mac and iOS. I use DEVONthink to Go basically for searching data from this source along with other data I have in DEVONthink, but I’m careful not to modify these notes in DEVONthink To Go. On iOS I use 1Writer and some other apps to directly modify the files. I have it indexed on Mac, but modify the files in it only when working on Mac. It’s not optimal, but currently I have my main Markdown (etc) notes folder in Dropbox. Browsing to DEVONthink folder in iOS from other app seems like too much hassle. I’ve also struggled to find some optimal workflow for this. But what you see in iOS devices after this in DEVONthink is a “stale” version of the actual files instead of the current Dropbox situation, until you again open DEVONthink on Mac and let it sync the indexed folder. If you have indexed the same folder in DEVONthink Mac, the notes will get synced to DEVONthink sync store and therefore to iOS devices as well. If you modify a file with 1Writer on iPhone and then open the Editorial with Dropbox, you’ll see the same changes. There are many applications such as 1Writer, Editorial, Dropbox app itself, etc that sync directly to a Dropbox folder.
