peterskouhus 8 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I have used Evernote for about 10 years now. With the latest version I decided to get out of Evernote and into Google Drive. Thinking I could export my notes (some 16,000) in 150 or so notebooks I got a very long nose because I can only export 50 at a time. On top of that the app is now a very slow web page with a nice boarder around saying Evernote.... Needless to say, one cannot use a software application that hijack data this way, imagine that Evernote goes out of business. I tried Zapire but can only get it to work with new notes. I want everything out and into a file of some sort so that I own my data. How do I get all my note out in some kind of logic fashion, and how can one mix attached files with notes. This is tricky and any help and suggestions are very welcome. Link to comment

The 50 note limited is properly because it is a webpage being loaded, and they are trying to figure out how to load more and faster. If i export the ENEX file how do i get data out of it? I just dont get it. Link to comment

If i change to legacy version, do I need to download all notes again - some 30 GB 😞 before I can export the heck out of Evernote. Link to comment

A download should not be necessary When you upgraded to Version 10, your legacy database was not deleted Link to comment
