(Archived) Does Evernote Desktop App Sync When Closed


dsmorey

Idea

I have almost exclusively used the web version of evernote. But now I started messing with the desktop app and it's really a pretty nice app, so I'll probably use it much more.

My question is about syncing. I usually open Evernote, make my changes or additions and then close it. I almost always forget to sync. Does the desktop app sync in the background when closed? It doesn't seem to be. I just made some changes and closed it and the online version of my note is not changed.

Thanks

Strange, I thought that was the case. As a developer, I can't imagine not at least offering that as an option in the preferences. I can see many times I'm going to open Evernote, make the quick change that is on my mind, and NOT hit sync before I close.

Well, thanks for the reply. Hoping maybe this will be a setting in a future version.

The WIndows client does have this setting (it's a fairly recent addition). Not sure whether its appropriate for the Mac client, or whether Evernote has plans to make that change.

Probably not the best design, but when I add something quickly in Windows Evernote, I instinctively hit F9 to force a sync before closing.

I did not see an equivalent function in the Knowledgebase for the Mac

Thanks Jeff, at least that gives us hope for the option to leak into the Mac version. :D

Yeah, that's what I've been doing also. But I use evernote a lot between work computer and home. Sucks to think that I could forget to do this one time and have to wait until I get into work to update that note. Sucks even more that if I then update that note at home and sync, then sync next day at work, there will probably be a note conflict. :D

Thanks

I have a lot of personal stuff in Evernote, as I'm sure a lot do. I just don't want somebody from the office to sit down to maybe check their email and there is my personal Evernote right on the screen. That's about the only reason I close it down often.
