### 3/5 — datagist -> dropbox function

*2022-09-19*

i reaLLY like the parts of this app that work, which seems to be all of it, Except: has anybody gotten the dropbox function to work??!!!????? is 5 Stars IF the dropbox function can be gotten to work, without that working, files in this can not be shared with others, and cannot be transfered to other machines. bigProblem! i have the premium version, so whatever the problem is with this app connecting with dropbox is, it is not an issue of premium or not. if there is a way of getting DataGist's dropbox feature to work, i will happily write a longer glowing review of more of DaraGist's otherwise excellent features. Any DataGist -> DropBox solutions?

### 2/5 — DropBox Support...

*2020-06-02*

DropBox Support...

Dropbox is not working...

It's ’Pending Review’ for some reason..

Also, strangely there is no version number...?!

### 3/5 — Great tool but wish it had desktop access

*2018-06-26, version 1.0*

This tool reminds me of an app I used on the Palm Pilot. Other than the dotted tree lines to show alignment of folders and subfolders it has everything else and more. I would like to see the following enhancements if possible:
1.  Desktop access to add content
2.  Ability to add a reminder to any note at any nested level
3.  A basic Calendar to assign tasks to
