So far the info I’m seeing is from remarkable site and the way they word it doesnt answer the real question (like they’re trying to hide something). I dont think I’ll keep it if I cant use it without paying a monthly fee.

Basically I need to be able to transfer files (both directions) in a couple different ways. I need to be able to get files to and from Google drive for cloud storage purposes and would be nice If i could ultimately get files into a git repo on gitlab (even if it means more than one step to get it there). Also it would be nice if i could connect via ssh through the command line on my laptop (running ubuntu linux) to transfer files using the laptop.

Should I send this thing back or is it possible to do these things without a remarkable connect account?

    I have gdrive docs and rm2 docs Docs. connect subscription.

    1. I rarely upload to my notes to Google drive from rm2

    2. I often download pdfs of my Google Docs to my rm2 and then add handwritten notes to become formal typed doc edits later.

    there is no sync back to original Google Doc formats in this case. I am not sure what that could look like. My notes are in margins and figures and typically require formal typed editing to fit in a published document form.

    So I draft notes on rm2 and then create typed formal edits in my Docs by retyping at keyboard.

    1. I love the “read on remarkable” Chrome plug-in to read web pages and some downloaded pdfs on rm2 and then delete from device

    2. I love rm2 for handwriting notes, new ideas, and making checklists.

    3. It is not an input device to Google docs. Though, you can convert handwritten paragraphs to text and send via email to yourself and then copy-paste them into docs.

    tldr: get rm2 if you like to hand write drafts of things that may or may not later become formal typed documents in Google or other formats.
