Mac: How to import from OneNote?

[Sverre4E 0]

Hi, 

I want to test out Evernote and need to import all my notes in OneNote. Old searches describe a very good import functionality for OneNote. I have tried both new and legacy app, and cannot find the option to import from OneNote.

Hi.  "Old searches" almost certainly pre-date major changes in both apps,  and I don't know whether there is a foolproof method any more - especially since OneNote and Evernote are architecturally different.  Also unless you're subscribing,  the note size and upload limits on a free account will probably get blown out of the water if you have a large number of notes.  Maybe copy and paste a few notes to try Evernote out?

I'm on a 7 days trial of Evernote, so that shouldn't be a limit.

I don't see the point to test much without import. Because I will not move if I have to keep OneNote in addition with all my existing notes...

OK - you will know more than I about any restrictions there might be on importing.  I'd suggest you do a web search  while you wait for any resonses here - there have been some independent solutions over the years,  but I don't know whether any of them are still viable.

I have searched and found some old posts describing import from OneNote works like a charm, than some later posts saying this functionality is not implemented in new app yet and refer to legacy app. I downloaded legacy app and this function seems not to be present in Mac version at least...

The challenge is not just Evernote. OneNote head changed too so the old ways of doing things are dysfunctional at both ends.
