hpc 2 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Hello, I spent about three hours this morning preparing solutions to a homework using Evernote on my chromebook. When I finished the note, I tried to share it with another person. A message popped up saying that the person may not have access to the note. After that, when I tried opening the file, Evernote threw a message saying the file was unavailable for opening. I tried opening the file several times and each time, the same message (that the file was not available) popped up. Then, I tried syncing the files. Post-sync, the file disappeared altogether from the list of notes. Interestingly, the sync icon has been spinning for the last 3-4 hours. I checked evernote web interface for this file but couldn't locate it there either. Is there a way I can recover this file? Any help is greatly appreciated. Link to comment

If not, it may be in your conflicting changes or Trash notebooks. Check also by signing in online via Evernote.com Not sure I understand On 07/10/2017 at 7:06 PM, hpc said: when I tried opening the file, Evernote threw a message saying the file was unavailable for opening ..do you mean the note has completely disappeared, or are you trying to open an attachment?

hpc 2 Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Thank you for responding. The note completely disappeared. It was there right after I created it. But when I tried opening it (after creating it), I kept getting an error message saying that the note was unavailable for opening. Eventually, the file just disappeared mysteriously. Based on other posts on this disucssion forums, I had already searched with keywords and also looked in Trash and conflicting changes. I couldn't find the file anywhere. I know that I didn't manually delete the file. So, it is very puzzling to me. In any case, I recreated the note and this time, everything is fine. Link to comment

If a note completely disappears, this won't help you - but if it's just missing some updated content Note History might. Also it's useful to keep local backups of your work just in case unexpected thing like this happen. Link to comment
