Shamatix 0 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Hey fellow users of Evernote, I am a fairly new user and I was wondering if there is any ways to attach a document as so: And not it's contents, for the above picture I have renamed its fileextension from .txt to .txte, but is there some sort of option / method to simply have a .txt document ATTACHED and not just copy paste all it's content? I dont want 100+ pages of text in my note, but just the attachment ATTACHED to the note. Link to post

I just drag the file into a note (Mac) For some formats, I have an option of right clicking on the attachment and displaying inline or as an attachment Link to post

I dont want this inline, but rather as an attachment Link to post

Even using the menus (File > Attach Files), it copies the actual text of a .txt file into the note. That's quite annoying and unexpected. However, it is possible to drag .txt files into a note as attachments using the Evernote Web interface (https://www.evernote.com/Home.action?login=true). That might be the way to go. Link to post

I also tried on my Android phone, and attaching a .txt file to a note (through the menu; there's no dragging) did attach it properly. And when I opened the note in the Windows program it was present as an attachment, not as text. Link to post
Level 5* s2sailor 1,037 Posted January 16, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted January 16, 2018 Another thought, in Windows you can create a shortcut to the .txt file and then drag the shortcut to Evernote. Evernote will show this as a regular file attachment. I'll do that if I just need a pointer to a file and not the actual contents within Evernote. Link to post
