How does Evernote use iCloud? @Shane D. Is there anyone on the team that could elaborate on this? I just recently discovered it as well and have no clue what it does. I tried messing with it and decided to ignore it for now because it doesn't seem to have any pertinent use at the moment. Link to comment
Steven Eff 35 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Is this in the iOS iCloud settings? Mine is automatically switched on but looking at my iCloud storage there is nothing being stored there. I am guessing it is so you can add documents from your iCloud drive? Link to comment
Matt Stevans 6 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I also have this question. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,695 Posted January 27, 2022 Level 5 Share Posted January 27, 2022 EN does not store anything on the iCloud. They run their own server infrastructure. I think (without knowing) that the switch controls whether the apps data are included in the devices iCloud backup. This would load the app, settings and data as they are on the device into iCloud. When a new device is started with the option „from iCloud“, EN would be among the apps restored from iCloud. It is noticeable that there are not all apps in that list. The Signal Messenger for example (known for privacy) has no iCloud switch. Link to comment
Duhtch 48 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Hi EN friends. I have a iPhone X 64 GB. 16 GB is used by my EN offline notebooks. Even though EN is not selected in my iCloud backup, I strongly suspect my EN offline notebooks are being backed up to the iCloud. In the "iCloud Storage" list (Backups, WhatsApp, Health...), Backups is huge. I suspect that is where the EN backup is included. EN is not in the list of apps backed up showing the specific backup size: like WhatsApp is, for example. To test my suspicion, I selected EN to backup to iCloud and did a "Back Up Now": the "iCloud Storage" list doesn't change. Then when I deselect EN and did another "Back Up Now", the "iCloud Storage" list still doesn't change. Any thoughts or guidance? Thanks... fyi, as my iCloud backups stopped as my storage limit was maxed out, I temporarily bought more iCloud storage to ensure my other (non EN) data is backed up. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,695 Posted February 20, 2022 Level 5 Share Posted February 20, 2022 iCloud backup is controlled in the iPhone settings, your account (right on top of everything in settings), iCloud. You can define per app whether to include it into the backup or not. If I understand iCloud correctly, the size will not change immediately by toggling the switches. Since it keeps versions of the data, it will only delete „old“ data after (I think) 30 days. In case you want more details, check it with Apple support. Link to comment
