douglerner 17 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I understand that the Windows version of Evernote has an import feature to import from OneNote. I don't see that on the Mac. What's the recommended way to get notes from OneNote into Evernote? I can copy/paste, but one-by-one it will take a long time. Link to comment

I’m not aware of any import service The first thing I’d look at in OneNote (or any product) is what export options can be used. Evernote is flexible on importing different file types as attachments to notes. Link to comment
douglerner 17 Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 I don't think OneNote has any export options at all. Link to comment
douglerner 17 Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 The Windows version of Evernote has a File > Import > from OneNote option. I'm going to try to do this in Windows in Parallel Desktop and then sync up and return to Mac. Link to comment

Make sure you backup your data - OneNote has changed quite a lot since Evernote designed their import service, and I wouldn't trust the import formatting too much. I'm sure Evernote hasn't spent much time updating things... Link to comment
douglerner 17 Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 I have Time Machine, Carbon Copy Cloner, and Crash Report backups of everything. It seems to be working, but OneNote is incredibly slow with syncing compared to Evernote. I'm redoing it now because I don't think OneNote had everything synced to the Windows version at the time I started importing. Evernote syncing is definitely orders of magnitude faster than Onenote. I can have over a thousand notes in Evernote and immediately see them synced on my iPhone or iPad. Meanwhile Onenote chugs along at a slow pace trying to sync less than 100 notes. Link to comment
