Can't Share A Note

[CajundD 0]

Hi Folks,

I have two Evernote accounts (for testing purposes). However, I can't share a note between the two accounts. When I try to do so, Evernote hangs and I needs to force quit it. On the web version, I get a message that says: Sorry we couldn't send your chat, please try again in a moment.

I suspect this is related to the fact that account #1 had one address that was then changes to a different address. I then used the original address to create account #2. I can share to others, but I want to get a sense of the experience so I can train my coworkers.

Thanks for any help you can provide. It is unfortunate that Basic account members can't email support directly.

Hi.  Evernote uses the email address of an account to identify it in share and chat situations,  so yes - effectively 'moving' one address between two accounts might have messed with its recognition a bit.  Contacting support as a Basic user is not quick,  but you can do so via Twitter @EvernoteHelps if you wish.

Will you be wanting to share notes purely as read-only information,  or as editable text?  Read-only access is pretty straightforward - send a public link,  and the note will be visible in a browser. 

If you wish to set up a more interactive connection,  you need to use the Work Chat systems - these are the help pages for that... Quick start for Work Chat

Thanks for the reply.

It doesn't seem to make sense to report a bug that crashes the software to the company via public means (but, I guess this is public...). It makes even less sense to force me to upgrade to a paid account to report a crashing bug, specifically while I am evaluating the software as a solution for our business. I hope some support people are reading this.

And thanks for the hint about Work Chat - but I fear that the sharing issue is getting in the way of this happening.

Since this is happening for both the desktop and the web versions, I suspect that the issue resides in the online sharing mechanism. Probably something that they will have to look for. In the meantime, I will try some other testing.

Thanks again.
