I had two Word files in a note. I opened them, I edited them, I saved them and then I erased them from the note to attach them again...

... and I realized that the files were not downloaded when I opened them. For some reason I thought that once you open a file from a note it goes to the download folder or somewhere else in Evernote.

Is there any temporary folder where I could locate these files that I don't have anymore in Evernote?

You can check the note history.

But why did you delete them from the note? If you open the file from within Evernote (desktop), when you "Save", it will save the changes to that note.

I didn't know... I thought Evernote downloaded the files once you open them in Word... but I SOLVED IT. I opened the Word and then "Open recent", then "Save As"... both files were here:

~Library/Application Support/Evernote/external edits/[temp folder]
