JellyFox 0 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and now my import folder isn't working. I've deleted and reset it, but no luck. When I search Evernote help, the only thing that comes up is "What's New in Evernote Web", but I don't see where import folders are a specific problem with the change in Evernote Web. Is there something I can do to fix this? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,524 Posted June 3, 2019 Level 5* Share Posted June 3, 2019 Hi. Don't know how Import Folders are connected to the Web client. Here's the standard support page - if removing and recreating the folder doesn't work immediately, restart your system and retry - and consider uninstalling / reinstalling the Windows client if that fails...

Level 5* EdH 1,670 Posted June 4, 2019 Level 5* Share Posted June 4, 2019 It works fine on my Windows 10 machine, so it isn't an Evernote general issue. Have you fully deleted the Import setting, closed/reopened Evernote, and tried again to ensure no setting is messing it up? Link to comment
JellyFox 0 Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 Finally it's working! Deleting/closing/opening/adding the folder back didn't work, but that folder was on a campus network drive. When I put the folder on my desktop it worked- maybe that was the problem. Thanks for your help! Link to comment

Thanks for your help! Network drives are specifically not supported in this scenario. I'm not exactly sure why, but this has been the case for many many years. Glad you figured it out and got it working. 1 Link to comment
JellyFox 0 Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 I would have sworn on any amount of money that I'd always done it that way, but clearly not! 😀 Link to comment

(Not the same reason we don't support putting the exb out there - that's because file locking is notoriously bad.) 2 Link to comment

For me it was always frustrating because I am an Import & Delete guy, so once the file existed, I just wanted it in Evernote. I eventually set up a robocopy script to sync a network folder our copier scanned to to a local folder on my PC. Link to comment
