(Archived) Can't open database file on networked drive

[olijay 0]

My network is set up in such a way that "My Documents" is synced to the server, so that all of my personal files are available on every computer. This doesn't work very well with Evernote, since I get this error when I log in:

Can't open database "\\*network_path*\My Evernote Files\DataBases3\olijay.exb", error: CANT_UPDATE_NEXT_UID

This isn't a bug per se, but I'd like the option to change the path of the local database, that would surely circumvent this error. As it stands, I can't use the windows client at work

Evernote does not work directly with the database files over the network, and I would not recommend trying to do this, as it is slow and unreliable, and you can easily damage your database file if the networking problem occurs during write operation.

Hi Folks

I have the same issue, my documents is network synced and causing me problems offline. How do I tell evernote where to locate the database file?

Thanks
