Hi. After weeks of interesting reading about GTD integration on Evernote I decided to try to organize my entire 120 GB hard drive (that is fully synchronized with Dropbox) with Evernote / GTD philosophy.
BUT the main question is:
1) Is it possible to create in Evernote the same structure of hard drive tree (using tags as folders) without physically transfer files/attachment but only the path (i.e. Dropbox remote path)? It could save a lot of space, because if I could have a shortcut to a Dropbox file I could save storage EN space... So I could use EN to tagging and make order to the same files in a different way, leaving an archive structure to the hard drive, and leaving to hard drive the function of simple storage of large files..
Having a Dropbox remote file could also make me able to reach the file through iPhone or iPad..
Another important thing to consider: If I have a paper bill and I want to transfer it on EN I create a redundancy: I scan the paper bill.. I put the PDF on my Documents/Bill/Taxes/2013/etc.. folder on my computer, and I put it on EN notebook "Tax" (so on my computer I have two same files, even if one of them is inside a EN database)..
What I'm searching for is a way to use Evernote as an improved, super, extension of my OS
If it could be possible, I think that we could save million of bytes, reserving the storage space only for services (like Dropbox) that are made just for this function.
Bye!

P.S. Pardon for my bad english (I'm italian ) but I hope to be understood..
