I mostly use Simplenote for ideas and loose notes, and Quip/Evernote for more structured notes. All three sync to all my devices, and while neither are perfect for my needs, they are OK.

The problem comes from keeping everything organized (impossible with Evernote and Simplenote with their lack of structure, impossible with Quip since it's docs/spreadsheets-only) and in a way that works with my mind and workflow.

I'm working on sketching out what a unified personal knowledge management product might look like, which combines a kind of "inbox" of sorts of resources and notes coming in, and also a "personal wiki" with structured docs, and a number of people I know are also thinking about what a 'perfect' knowledge management system would look like. Let me know if you want to bounce around some ideas around.

What I would like is a way to organize not only written notes but files too, keeping them where they are in my disk or dropbox/google drive without having to duplicate them in another online service

Tagspaces (http://www.tagspaces.org/) is worth checking out if you're interested in files organizaiton

I've also been thinking about this problem a lot. On my phone now so I can't expand but I would also love to discuss this further with anyone. (Email in profile.)

I'm very interested, will send you an email when I'll finish processing all the information from this thread ;).
