I love having folders and local file access. I hated the DB approach of Bear and having to use tags to organise my content. If you could add a web clipper to Lettera that would be great. I’d pay the same subscription price as I do for Bear and then just move over to Lettera.
Interesting idea to have that in the app. But I guess you think of Bear? 
;Before anyone else wakes up to censor me, may I suggest clipping extensions that produce e.g. .textbundle files where images and content are saved together for you? There’s this open source one that I happen to maintain:
Install in browser, use, import from Downloads into your folder with drag + drop.
I doesn’t have to be in Lettera itself. It could be a browser extension like the one Bear has. Thanks for the suggestion of the extension - I’ll take a look and use it for now. But it would be more convenient to have one that just automatically sends the content to Lettera like the Bear web clipper.
“Sending to Bear”, which only has 1 note collection synced across devices, that’s easy. Everything ingests into the same place.
For Lettera, you’re in charge of managing files, folders, workspaces that are open. So making this “just work” in a do-what-I-mean way is tricky. Saving files, then dragging them into the folder you want to use, is probably the state-of-the-art solution for a while Let’s see.
I agree, and suggest that this hasn’t been made clear enough in the documentation/description of how Lettera works. iCloud directories are just another macOS folder that can be accessed from the Finder, so Finder files and directories can simply be moved or copied into the Lettera iCloud directory. They then appear in Lettera’s sidebar in all their ordered glory.
I’d suggest not moving all your files and folders into iCloud but instead opening them directly with Lettera (File 
Open), or via drag and drop on the Dock icon.
