Rekaba 2 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 On the Mac Desktop App, my internal app links are not working. When I click on a link, it shows the linked note ever so briefly, then reverts back to the note with the link. My setup, for each notebook, I generally have a "table of contents" note, which consists mainly of internal app links to other notes, but now this is not working. Any ideas? If this is not the right forum for the question, then please let me know where I should go. Basically, can't work without links. Thank you! Link to comment
Solution Boot17 1,386 Posted January 5, 2023 Solution Share Posted January 5, 2023 Which version of Evernote do you have? And did it just start doing that? Also, regardless of version, this doesn't sound like normal behavior and it sounds like a bug that would impact a large number of users. My guess is it's some issue local to your machine. Have you tried restarting Evernote and/or your Mac? Link to comment
Frki2 75 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 It looks i have this issue. Internal links were normally working, and now they stopped. Format is as usual: file:///path but it is not opening file anymore. Anybody have same issue? UPDATE: It started to work after i confirmed with a mark in popup "always allow opening internal links". Maybe this popup in EN needs to be checked before this works. Link to comment

UPDATE: It started to work after i confirmed with a mark in popup "always allow opening internal links". Maybe this popup in EN needs to be checked before this works. This is not the same issue as in the original post at all. That post concerned app links within Evernote, IOW links from one note to another. You're talking about links to local files on the computer. All that said.... What Evernote app, and what version of it, are you using, and on what operating system? I find that in the Windows desktop app v. 10.57 (and also v. 6.25), a link with file:/// followed by a properly formatted, fully qualified file path, e.g., file:///C:\Users\myusername\Documents\Texts\Light.doc can be inserted in a note, linked to a string of text such as "the Light document," and when I click on it the file opens in the appropriate app. However, when I try the same thing on the same computer with the Web client, I always get an error message "The link to file "C:\Users\myusername\Documents\Texts\Light.doc" cannot be opened on this device." (This is a known issue.) I never get a popup asking permission to open internal links. Hence my question about your setup where you're seeing this. Link to comment
Rekaba 2 Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 Thank you @Boot17 for your reply. Uninstalling the Evernote Mac Desktop App and reinstalling solved my problem. Internal links work again. I hope that this helps others. 2 Link to comment

Level 5 PinkElephant 7,912 Posted October 4, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted October 4, 2023 If you miss a share, go to the „Shared with me“ tab on the left panel. Click on the ADD button behind the shared item (note or notebook). Link to comment
