It depends on the platform IOS/Android: no data copy; option for offline notebooks Mac: full data copy Windows: full data copy; option for "demand sync" (only active data) Web: no data copy Note: Web platform can be run on a Mac/Win devices Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,524 Posted February 26, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted February 26, 2018 As @DTLow - I'm on Windows and have tried out the 'on demand sync' option - my 16GB database dropped to a few MB, which was great.. but there are two drawbacks. I like to have a local backup copy of my database, and it's not possible to extract one in this setup, and Every note requires a download, so offline searches or working tends to be impractical.

Joshua222 0 Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 I see. I'm on a macbook and iphone. So there is no way to use Evernote without local storage on a macbook? Link to comment

Joshua222 0 Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 oh that makes sense, thank you Super Guru. How can I remove the all files on macbook? Evernote says drag the app to the trash but obviously all the files would still be there. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,524 Posted February 26, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted February 26, 2018 Not a Mac user so wait for more reliable advice, but if you uninstall Evernote it will remove files too. If you use something like Appcleaner (I'm told) it does a pretty good spring-clean of all things Evernote. Link to comment

You can use the app AppCleaner to remove all Evernote files from your Mac To just delete the database folder, use Option Key Help > Troubleshooting > Open Database Folder Link to comment
