(Archived) Can I keep my data if I decide to close my account?

[XJSevernote 0]

Dear all,

I was about to get a premium membership when I thought about this :

What if I decide to close my account in -let's say- 2 years time. Will I lose all the notes I gathered on evernote? Would I be allowed to save them on my Mac or export them to another software?

I've been keeping my notes and sources on my mac for a while now, and I have to admit that Evernote would make my life easier in many ways. But before I commit, I just want to make sure that I can step back whenever I want.

Many thanks for your help

Xavier

ps. Sorry if that matter is known to everyone, I just discovered Evernote and couldn't find any similar topic.

What happens to notes that have files attached to them? Do the notes get deleted or just the file attachments?

If you close your Premium account -and then switch to a free plan- you still have all your notes: you just switch back to the free limitations of transfert to EN and recognition/indexing restrictions.

On the other hand, you can export your notes to the .enex format and re-import them whenever you like in local-only notebooks.... even using EN client as standalone, i.e. with sync disabled.

You can also export your notes to HTML or MHT at any time.

And you always have to have an account with at least one sync'd notebook. You can have a single, token note in that notebook, if you wish.
