HugoAlcala93 2 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Dear friends from the Evernote community, I have to say that I am fed up with Evernote on Mac... The newest version has problems to update my notes and it seems as if Evernote was forcing me to pay for the premium version in order to have stability (notes need now permanent Internet connection to update). I have just written a paragraph in a note and twice it has been erased because it could not be uploaded. Has anyone had this error before? Any tips on what to do? My WLAN connection is not always strong... Very frustrating since I have everything on Evernote since 2012... Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,791 Posted February 4, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted February 4, 2021 How large is the note ? Upload limit for a single note (Basic) is 25 MB. There is a certain overhead, so probably the net size is appr. 20MB. A few pictures or a large pdf can be enough to go beyond that. Link to comment

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,791 Posted February 4, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Then I don’t understand your concern about „being forced to go Premium“. The software is the same, the permanent updating is the same, so the problem would probably be the same. You could try to go offline, edit, go back online and see if it syncs. You could do the same, copy the content to a new note, delete the problematic one, back online, maybe it syncs The ultimate solution at the moment is to install the legacy client: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052560314-Install-an-older-version-of-Evernote Link to comment

Now, Premium says: UNTETHER YOURSELF Capture and access everything that matters on all of your devices, even when you’re offline. I have already had problems when I have no connection (notes won't open) and now this... It's just frustrating to write a long paragraph and, after 5 minutes writing, its gone, no conflictive notes, no automatic backup note... just write it again and try. I may try that legacy client though. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,791 Posted February 4, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted February 4, 2021 My advise was not to work offline in general. It was to try switching offline in this case to unlock the problem with your single note. That the „permanent“ sync approach is prone to problems was discussed in other forum threads already, no need to repeat this discussion. Many of those who posted were Premium users, so I assume the subscription does not fix the syncing problem. Link to comment
