Store or link?

[tourdebill]

Hello:

I use UR for storing reference files. I want to know if UR users are linking documents into UR as only items that are linked to extrernal files, or if they are tending to create amd store the documents within UR. I am talking about excel files, word files, powerpoint, etc.

What are the pros and cons of storing files created through UR? I am concerned that in the future I may switch to a Mac OS, and have problems exporting the files and saving the organization.

And if you are only linking, how do you organize the orginal files on your hard drive and keep track of those that are linked? It seems that linking adds an unnecessary file management step. So I am curious what practices are being developed by others.

Thanks!

Bill
