using Android phone for note origination without storage

[mafug 0]

I'd like to use my coffee shop/waiting room/idle time to collect notes and send them to EN [and my desk top without storing or syncing the Android.  A one-way device.  Is there a way to set that up?  Thanks

Hi.  No.  The android has to sync to transfer the information via the server to your desktop.

Maybe there is something about syncing I don't understand.  Can the Android be synced with EN without my entire database of notes being copied onto the Android. I have a massive database of notes and do not need to store them on the Android and do not want to pay for that storage.

Thanks

On mobile only metadata (headers, thumbnails, search index) will automatically sync. This is appr. 1/20th of the size of the full database.

To sync more, you need to set notebooks in the mobile client to "offline". You can do this for a single notebook, or with one switch you can set all notebooks to offline. By this logic you can fine tune how much data will be used on your phone.
