Unable to export notes


Recommended Posts

Dear all,

I am following the instructions on how to export notes for Windows desktop here https://help.evernote.com/hc/sv/articles/209005557 but I am not getting it to work.

What I want to achieve: A simple solution (preferably just a button) to export all my notes and notebooks with one single click to my own computer. What a great function. There is no point whatsoever to keep things more complicated from a users perspective. User friendliness just increases the value of a service directed to users unless the actual value comes from somewhere else. Anyway, back to my question.

Problem: When I click on a note (left click or right click or choose options on the right) or notebook there is no option to export the note or notebook. 

Anybody knows why? As there is no straightforward option to contact Evernote I am trying to find help here before proceeding to delete my account.

 

Regards,

There already IS everything in a local copy on your computer.

Just use a standard backup software to grab and copy it wherever, and its done. You just need a working EN client for recovery.

With the rest, you have chosen a cloud service when picking EN. If "everything local" is important for you, choose another application. No idea on Windows, on Mac I would propose to use DevonThink.

Maybe a screenshot or two of what you are seeing would help. It works for me exactly like that help article you posted.

My guess is that you are using the Web version (on Windows) of Evernote and those instructions are for the Mac or Windows Desktop version of Evernote. AFAIK you can't export from the Web version.
