Go to and install the small free app: Macdropany.Scrivener has created two folders: Draft and Notes Now, open and look at the Scrives folder in dropbox.Create a blank folder in Dropbox called Scrives and choose that folder in the sync dialogue. Before you write anything in it, go to File menu and Sync. Now, start up a new blank project in Scrivener.
First, store your notes in nvALT, as a plain text file in a folder in dropbox (finder). Therefore, my agenda is to show you a small trick to make the two best text editors work flawlessly together using Scrivener’s FolderSync feature. Suddenly you decide not to use Scrivener, well, everything is in you hard open your texts in another editor. The best part, you are still maintaining your clean plaintext files in your dropbox folder. Syncing: This is better method for working in Scrivener directly updates the notes in nvAlT and vise-versa. As a principle, I personally don’t like importing because all the notes I saved in plaintext in my dropbox folder will be eaten up by a proprietary file format…the reason I don’t like Evernote and confused about Tinderbox. The problems is, any of the changes you made in Scrivener will not be saved back into your nvALT notes. Importing: importing the notes saved in nvALT into scrivener. After collecting your short notes for a long time into nvALT, now, it is time to use them in your writing. NvALT is one great fast note writing app.
