KrisHD 11 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) I am a longtime user of Evernote but the recent price increase has me looking for an alternate platform. I see that exporting files to Onenote was an option but it seems that is no longer an option. Any suggestions? UPDATE I finally got the answer from Evernote support. The trick is you can only export files from the desktop version!! What you get is a file that looks exactly like the online one. I will still have to manually move files into Onenote by copy & paste. Here are the instructions: To export your notebooks on your Evernoteapp for Windows and follow the steps below: Select a file format (ENEX, single-page HTML, or multi-page HTML). Check or uncheck the attributes you'd like to export with your notes (e.g., tags, created date, author). Click Export. The file will be saved to your computer's desktop. Click notebook on the left panel list. Select the notebook you want to export. Click the three dots (more action) on the right side of the notebook. Select "Export Notebook".

Evernote Expert agsteele 3,059 Posted June 11, 2023 Evernote Expert Share Posted June 11, 2023 The OneNote importer is not supported by OneNote any longer. The often suggested route is to cancel your Evernote subscription and drop to the Free package. Keep your old notes as an Archive and start afresh with OneNote. Copy content across whenever it is needed and just use Evernote as a store for your historic notes. 4 Link to comment

Have a look for another provider and check whether they offer importing from Evernote - it's in their best interests to make it as easy as possible for new users to move across... But I agree with @agsteele - I have 60K+ notes, and last time I tried to import that many into a third party solution, their support took about a month to confirm it had completed - with lots of errors.

Yeah, but I mentioned the html backup as an alternative way to access your old notes without EN free or any other tool in case EN would disappear for some reason. Unfortunately, as long as real html isn't supported in V10, this is no option. I month ago, support advised me to use the legacy windows client for real html export! Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,773 Posted June 12, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted June 12, 2023 How shall it convert the links between notes ? There are 2 basic methods: Local links (in-App) or web links (to the EN server). The local links won't work, because there is no local database any more that could handle the links, and no cloud server to which the link could reference. There would be absolute local links, and relative local links as options - both easily destroyed when moving content in the export. For an export, links are a challenge. That not even the links (that exist) to the attachments do work is IMHO a relatively small formatting issue - still unresolved. Link to comment

A local note link should be implemented as a relative html link to another html note in the html export folder. It's important to use a relative link to ensure that you can move the export folder in its whole to another location. No rocket science, this is how it has already be implemented successfully in the windows legacy client. It should be noted that note-ids aren't required in this implementation, just plain html links (actually not different from links to other attachments). 3 Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,773 Posted June 12, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted June 12, 2023 About Backlinks: They are an active service provided by the database. You can see this, because they are not embedded into the note itself, but show in a little icon provided by the database. Plus they update within a short moment when a link is inserted - they are created in that moment by a background task. So basically, the backlinks will be gone on export. 3 Link to comment

In a next step it can export from there to ENEX-Files, one per notebook. What it requires is to install the project, and run it. Some terminal work necessary, but it’s all well documented.

Well I decided to check for myself and, lo and behold, they fixed this issue. Now when I export my test notebook as HTML or MD, all attachment names are preserved. This was literally the biggest problem I had with Joplin. I also tried exporting a MD file with attachments and a table from Onenote (using the Onemore plugin) and it imported to Joplin - not as an exact copy (markdown tables are not great), but a whole lot better than I expected. Now if they add OCR and freshen up the iPhone app… it could be interesting. Link to comment

John Jablonski 36 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I compared the price quoted for essentials for one year at about $200/3TB. That is close to the price I paid for Professional last year. I've been using Evernote since 2010 and now my choice is to continue. Earlier this year, I played with Notion. Too structured and not so intuitive. I still love Evernote. I have so many intra-note links (I appreciate the recent Backlink feature to point to "parent" notes) I guess I worry a bit about migrating this giant interconnected network of notes to another tool. -- John 3 Link to comment

Siz 0 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Hello all. A long-time (paying) user, I also want to move from Evernote. For me, it is not the charges that are the issue. But there are other things that have made me lose confidence in the organisation. Over the years I have built up quite a large collection of notes, many of which link to each other (the links are of this form: evernote:///view/19258324/s133/ba6400e8-0c21-4294-b109-c4cd36f2fd7e/62cb6c82-bdbf-416f-b2cb-d202376b475a/) Is there a way of preserving the functionality of these links so that notes that were linked in Evernote are still linked in the new application? From reading of this forum, my understanding is that the answer is 'no', but I might have missed something (I got a bit lost at the github stage). In this case, how do people deal with this problem? Keeping my existing notes in Evernotes and starting afresh somewhere else will not really work for me, since the notes I create in the future will often need to be linked to historic notes.

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,773 Posted January 24 Level 5 Share Posted January 24 The links all use the UUID, the unique note identifier as a reference. Up to now we have found no way to preserve the links when the notes have lost their identifier.

Up to now we have found no way to preserve the links when the notes have lost their identifier. This is true for all exports or imports - the links will only work between the original notes inside of the EN ecosystem. If I had infinite patience, I could go through the manual process outlined below. The key is to create a table which has one an entry for each note, containing the UUID in one column and the note's title in another. So: Within the Evernote application, open a note and copy the internal app link. Paste this into a table (in some text file). Then copy the title of the note and paste this into the table. Repeat for all notes. Now you have a text file which has a table showing the UUID and title for all notes. Export the notes Open each exported note and search for links. For each link you find, the UUID contained in the link, together with the table you have created, will enable you to look up the title of the note that is linked to. Search for the exported note with this title. Change the link to point to this note. It relies on each note having a unique title. But if this is not the case, the process could be tweaked by creating an additional column in the table containing date created. My coding abilities are pretty much zero, but I would have thought that it should be possible to write a script to automate this. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,773 Posted January 24 Level 5 Share Posted January 24 You wouldn't try to do this through the client interface, if you talk about coding.

One question you might know the answer to: My default view for internal links has always been 'text'. Looking at the ENEX file in a text editor, the title of the note does not appear to come across. But if I go back into Evernote, change the view to 'title' and re-export, then the title is included. As part of the initial tidy up process, is there any way of doing a global change from 'text' to 'title' or do I have to edit each link individually? Link to comment
Dave Green 261 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) I am using view as text, and the process deals with that. This may be my issue of when one changes the text, the matching fails. ... Alas, I just tried looking into this (changing an existing link to title) -- it looks like while the title style link changes when you change the note pointed to, the underlying Yarle linkage is using the old text in builing the link AND the underlying text link is not changed. That said, you can toggle a link from text to title and back to text in Evernote to fix the text link -- again a manual process. It also seems that if you set the link default in Settings to Title, then things will work as desired for new notes when you later change it. Of course, you have to like the way title looks in your note -- I have used text since it has been the default and I have used it in my workflow to advantage (inside sentences, etc. (and I have 8000+ notes done the other way.) A second set of changes after an initial export had an earlier version of the text used as the text for a link not following the title change. In the documented process, the note's filename is the title. The link is based on the displayed text matching the file name which occurs as long as the text or the note title did not change since link creation. I don't know of a way to toggle existing notes to change them or fix them. Edited January 26 by Dave Green Updated text (see strikethrough) 1 Link to comment

To export them via any other version than the mobile app, would mean exporting them without the recordings. Is there a way to export the notes while using the mobile phone app ? Thank you Tape Link to comment

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,773 Posted February 14 Level 5 Share Posted February 14 What sort of recordings ? Audio ? It would be unusual if they don't show everywhere. They may be not playable, depending on the platform, but they should be there as attachments. Link to comment

There are several options available, do as you please. Hint: Save your adrenalin until you learn about the export options of many competitors. They are more than happy to take your data, but as unhappy to release them. I mean a lot of them use md or similar flat formats and allow you to save on your own disk... so yeah, you don't even have to export and it's in a human readable format that computers will be able to read for the next 1000 years... happy to take that over one that has issue allowing me to export.. Check out Obsidian, Dendrite, Notesnook, and their competitors. Some are even opensource. Unless Evernote catches up, I'm going to be moving my money to Obsidian because these traits are worth the money to me. At the moment I'm paying Evernote and can't really use it because it's ***** on Linux, I need the internet to access my files, and I feel like I could lose my data at any moment, while Obsidian is polished, doesn't lock me in, and has better privacy policies (my data is on my networks only and since it's all flat files and network independent, I've spent the 30 min to setup my own synchronization between my devices, so they never even see my notes). The fact that I am completely internet independent alone is worth my money, so while I can use it for free, I'm going to pay them soon as my renewal for evernote comes up. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,773 Posted March 2 Level 5 Share Posted March 2 You can choose what you want. If you will be around in 1.000 years to find out if you can still read your notes from 2024 remain to be seen. I will greet you then … Link to comment
sidorvm 0 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I used Evernote since very beginning of 2010 or 2011. I'm ok paying for a software but I think changing pricing policy in a way which leave no choice but to pay is not fair to existing users. Device limit is ok, why to limit number of notes to 50 when I already have thousands of them?? I hate being held hostage. The reason I move is because Evernote don't care about users. Link to comment

You have been using a free app to build up a library of (apparently) thousands of notes. You still have access to those notes, you just can't add more because the company has decided it can't afford the cost of maintaining a free service. Do you work for free? No hostages here - you're free to find another free note-taking app to use in future and to export your existing notes if you wish. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,773 Posted April 11 Level 5 Share Posted April 11 @sidorvm talking about fairness: Somebody needs to pay for your free app use. Under the former plans, 1 paying user carried the expenses for roughly 10 non paying user. Let us assume you are one of the 10 users my subscription fees were diverted to. And now, in all fairness you claim: Can you give me one single good reason why MY subscription payment should be used for YOUR continuous free ride ? Link to comment
