Shared Link

[shekala 24]

It looks like the behavior of shared links has changed and I could use some advice/confirmation. I often create a shared link to insert into other apps I use (like rememberthe milk, etc). Today I noticed that the link (created via right clicking on the note (in the Windows client), the choosing Share/Copy Shareable Link) takes me to a webpage that shows the note, but doesn't require me to be logged into Evernote. This leads to a few questions:

1) Are the links readable by anyone? It used to be that only someone logged into my Evernote account could access them. Obviously I would prefer the links to be private

2) Can the links be set to open in the desktop client? It used to work that way, although admittedly inconsistently and I had to constantly reset it.  But now doesn't even seem to be a possibility.  

Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

There are three types of links

1. Classic in-app  (evernote:///view/...)
2. Public browser (https://www.evernote.com/...)
3. Private browser (https://www.evernote.com/...)

>>Are the links readable by anyone?

The public browser links can be opened by anyone who knows the link

Thanks but how is each created?

On my Mac, I can force the classic link by holding down the option key when using Copy Note Link.  Otherwise it has dual functionality; in-app if pasted within Evernote, private browser if pasted outside of Evernote
To get the public link, I use the Share Note menu selection

Curiously, #2, the public browser link, also required me to sign in to Evernote in order to see it.

Does anyone know how to generate the different links on a PC? The only choices seem to be "Copy Internal Link", "Copy Shareable Link" (which is public). I don't see the private link choice.

This is what I see in the current Windows beta (6.8.4.6134):

With a note selected in the note list,

• Ctrl+Alt+L : evernote:///view/48005074/s244/afccaae4-c681-43f1-824a-363a60a2291d/afccaae4-c681-43f1-824a-363a60a2291d/
• Note / Copy Internal Link : https://www.evernote.com/shard/s244/nl/48005074/afccaae4-c681-43f1-824a-363a60a2291d
• Right-click on note / Copy internal link : https://www.evernote.com/shard/s244/nl/48005074/afccaae4-c681-43f1-824a-363a60a2291d
• Right-click on note / Ctrl + Copy internal link : evernote:///view/48005074/s244/afccaae4-c681-43f1-824a-363a60a2291d/afccaae4-c681-43f1-824a-363a60a2291d/

You could try the Sharing the note, either from the Note option in the menu bar or right clicking on the note.  Not sure if sharing the note with a specific email address generates a private link or not.  Would test first, pending someone coming in with a specific solution.  FWIW.
