Document Management - a bit OT

I don’t know if iCloud requires one to store word processor files separate from spreadsheets, but if it doesn’t, I wouldn’t see a reason to do it.

The reason I asked about where the files would be located is that their path should be the same wherever you access TheBrain or other organising software of your choice. Otherwise the links will not work.

An alternative would be to link to the cloud version of each file, assuming that iCloud provides a specific and permanent URL for each such file. In Dropbox, this is possible, but you have to ask it to create a link for each file.

The advantage of the latter method is that the cloud link would be the same for all locations (home and work). The main disadvantage would be that, each time you would want to access a file, you would have to download it—unless iCloud allows one to view and edit files online directly.

But then, if you store the files on the cloud, the storage service itself might be all you need; e.g., Dropbox supports commenting on files, which I understand is what you need.
