mickmel 2 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Over the years I've accumulated quite a few "business" notes in my Evernote. Now, of course, I'd like to drag those into the new business section. However, I can't drag/move in either the Windows or web version. Is this intentional for some reason, a bug, or a feature coming later? Link to comment

Oh boy do I wish I could help with some advice, but I have no idea what you are talking about, and I suspect very few people do here. I am assuming you got in on the Business beta, right? Would you mind posting a screenshot? I'd sure like to see it I've been applying (several times) to the beta since the minute it was released, but no responses yet... Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted December 4, 2012 Level 5* Share Posted December 4, 2012 Using the Windows version, I can drag notes to a different ntoebook, no problem. You can also multi-select them, and change the current notebook for all of them using the notebook dropdown on the multi-selection panel.Just curious -- is the "new business section" you mention denoted by a different notebook, or a different tag?

If so, then this would make sense, since AFAIK, you can't drag notes from one account to another. However, you may be able to export them as enex & import the enex file to the business account.

So with Evernote business you get two upload allowances. Each person gets bumped up to 2 gb. Notes uploaded against personal noteobooks go use up this allownce. You get a separate business upload allowance. The business allowance is a pooled allowance that anyone can use. In the US, it's like a cell phone "family plan" that anyone can draw from. The total pool is calculated by 2 gb X Number of employees. So you should have a 30gb business upload allowance. We're allowing anyone to freely use this pool because we've found that often a handful of people use up a large proportion of the quota (esp if one person is responsible for archiving or scanning documents).2 & 3. Don't have a way of avoiding this. Even when if we did a move, it is a client side move. So it'll process and re-upload everything. We don't something on the server-side for this. If you have a computer you can leave on overnight, it might be worth kicking it off at the end of the day and coming back to it in the morning4.

dlu 628 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Oh forgot to call out. This will remove note history. When we do a client side move, it will not have note history. You can keep the old notes around and rename the notebook with "archive" or something similar. Link to comment

Jeff J 0 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I really hope you guys come up with a way to MOVE personal notebooks to the Business section. Exporting wipes out your upload quota. It also loses the sub folders. Most of us that we're on Premium before had many business notebooks that really would fit nicely in the notebook plan. Link to comment
Brickey 39 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 One of the issues with moving, or 'converting' from personal to business is network concerns. Your personal data is physically stored in a separate server from the business in our data center. So to move that data over is, with regards to network resources is 'costly.' Not that this necessarily matters to you, the end user. The product team is working on ways to make the transition to business easier. Link to comment

dlu 628 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 It's one of our top priorities. It involves some other sync functionality that we're going to improve all at the same time. A move, however, will still count against quota. Personally, I've been doing a mix of copying and moving. I'm not quite sure what you mean by subfolders. Are you referring to nested tags?

maslakovic 28 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 What would be useful is the ability to specify in ipad or iphone - which business folders you want to sync. Due to capacity issues, you may not want to sync all business folders as you would on a pc or mac. Also the ability to store business folders locally on an iphone/ipad would be really useful!Thanks,Marko Link to comment
Admaque 9 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Yup this is a bummer.

OneHeWasRubix 6 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I've having a different issue. I would love ot be able to add notes to a business notebook.. Seems like a pretty common interaction, also a very basic use case. I've tried exporting using the "Export notes" option. this basically dumped a bunch of HTML and JPGs into a folder I was using as repository. I tried the suggested way, of selecting the notes I want to export, and dragging them to my desktop (seriously guys?). That worked... until I tried to import the notes back into the Business Notepad I have selected... This is what I get... I tried to import twice... and both times, it just hangs there... I should note my OS and Versions.. Mac OSX 10.6.8 (latest revision and updates) Evernote Business Version 5.0.3 (400675) Link to comment

I don't dare roll this out. Instead of having everything in business notebooks, we'll just have a lot of data in multiple user's accounts. Even I find I am too lazy to move this stuff this way, so I wait until I have a lot to move, and eventually forget to do it. Link to comment

OneHeWasRubix 6 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Daniel, I tried using the right click > move option, and it was provided to me the first time I tried to move all the notes. I gave it a second to finish up before switching away and this is what I was looking at after the progress bar was finished loading... I tried to move the notes inside the personal notebook(top) to the business notebook(bottom) using the right click option. Now that I've done that... Inside the personal notebook, this is what my right click menu looks like... The move action never executed or failed to transfer the notes. Link to comment
OneHeWasRubix 6 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 After giving it a few moments to digest the input, assuming it takes a minute to transfer all those images and notes, this is what my personal notebook looks like. and this is what my business notebook looks like post "move" Link to comment
OneHeWasRubix 6 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Wow... So, out of habit, I restarted EverNote Business, and this is what I'm looking at... The newly created Business Notebook (UI - StyleGuide - Rebel Scum) is no longer in my list of notebooks. Also the trash now has 11 items in in, it was empty when I closed EN-B, two notebooks (why?) labeled "conflict Changes -date & time-" are back in the list (I deleted those earlier). Also, my "Style Guide - RebelScum" notepad is still empty... Looks like my notes got nuked. Hopefully I didn't nuke my entire styleguide because that would reeeeeeeealy suck. Link to comment
OneHeWasRubix 6 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 * Face Desk * I installed the old Evernote 5.0.0 from the App Store... I managed to export my notes from the style guide (even though you cant see them in the notebook anymore).I imported them, and it said it imported 25 notes. Well... Nothing there still.The style guide is thankfully still available on the web, and as an .enex file, it's just not visible in the notebooks.

ianfm 68 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I just came across this thread after signing up for the EN business account and then finding I can't move my business related stuff from my personal notebooks to my business notebooks unless I start doing exports to .enex files and imports back in. Not only does that destroy the dates it is far too onerous a task.So what's the point, I get an email, forward it to evernote, it goes into my default notebook and then when I want to tag it and move it to a business notebook I can't.This is something evernote "forgot" to mention when they launched EN business with all the hype.

Level 5* EdH 1,670 Posted December 17, 2012 Level 5* Share Posted December 17, 2012 Note that supposedly the Mac client can move files, but not the Windows client. Right now I have 3 major issues preventing me from moving to this:Cannot move notes between business and personalCannot delete business notes. Documentation says you can, but you cannot. I apparently have a "corrupt" note, and that has halted all business syncing for me as I cannot delete it. Support is aware of this.Evernote on Windows creates new notes in the UI in the notebook you are in, not the default notebook, so users can accidentally create personal notes in the business notebook. Because they 1) cannot move them and 2) cannot delete them, this is a big risk to personal info being in corporate systems. Link to comment

You then have to delete the same personal note.Best regardsChris Link to comment

Evernote doesn't seem too concerned with the note links/URLs in this and the merge scenario.If that isn't fixed, then it sounds like all of my notes that are business will stay in my personal notebook when the other issues are fixed and the new notes can be put in the EnB account.

I use them extensively to document where I get source information in Excel, and it works beautifully. I wish I could count on them being fixed. The Merge issue is the one that kills me, to the point I won't merge once linked, but rather link within a note to another note, which is supremely ugly. Link to comment
ianfm 68 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Hi Ian,To move notes from personal to business, you select the note, right click then select 'move' and the business notebook you want to move it to. You then have to delete the same personal note.Best regardsChrisThat isn't moving. That is copying and deleting. And it isn't the same thing because the note URL/link will change. Evernote doesn't seem too concerned with the note links/URLs in this and the merge scenario.If that isn't fixed, then it sounds like all of my notes that are business will stay in my personal notebook when the other issues are fixed and the new notes can be put in the EnB account.Yes you can copy but that is not moving. What I need to know is will Evernote be addressing this issue which I think is a serious flaw because without the option to move notes between notebooks then I don't see any advantage of Evernote Business.

RedHead 0 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I used the workaround on Windows (move to a Windows folder etc..) and something VERY BAD happened: I lost all the "created date" field from all the moved notes.. Did I mention it's VERY BAD for me? Link to comment

Did I mention it's VERY BAD for me? I would delete those notes you imported, and try on our latest RC here: You can copy or move notes on this Link to comment

It sounds like you're using the Mac and Web versions of Evernote. The Mac version should allow you to move notes between personal and business. The Windows RC does, and that should be coming to a public GA soon.The crashing and backlog from ScanSnap on a Mac seems unusual, I would leverage the customer support you get as an Evernote Business member and see if they can fix it (I'll ping the Mac folks casually).cheers!

lindseycholmes 32 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 So there's definitely no way to move personal notes to business on the iPhone client then right? When you search or scroll for notebooks only personal ones come up. Is there a workaround for the iPhone client? Link to comment
Brickey 39 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Currently, you cannot move a note on an iPhone from personal to business. I'm not familiar with a workaround. You can create notes directly into a business notebook by taping notebooks then tapping the notebook you'd like to add to, and then clicking the plus sign in the top right corner. Link to comment
Level 5* EdH 1,670 Posted April 30, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted April 30, 2013 Currently, you cannot move a note on an iPhone from personal to business. I'm not familiar with a workaround. You can create notes directly into a business notebook by taping notebooks then tapping the notebook you'd like to add to, and then clicking the plus sign in the top right corner. Cannot do it on the website either. AFAIK, the only way to do it is with a desktop client, which is limiting. Link to comment
