(Archived) Are note links portable across all platforms?

[snsokstan 32]

I run EN under windows on a PC at work and on a Mac at home. I use a separate task management program that is configured as client-cloud on the Mac and cloud on the PC.

When working on the Mac, I embedded some Evernote note links in the task management program. I like using EN as my repository of data/files.

The next day when working on the PC, I tried to open one of those EN links in my task management program. I found that some links would not work. I got an "invalid link" message.

Are these note links machine-dependent or should they work across different platforms, as long as I am pinging against the same user in EN?

AFAIK "Evernote:..." links should work on your PC if:

- The Windows client is installed on the PC

- You are using the same userid on both systems.

I know this doesn't address the specific use case you've asked about, but I learned recently that Mac-or-Windows-inserted links don't automatically work on the web client, and vice versa; you need to set up your browser to make them work:

Thanks, all.

No special use case. I do the same work at home and in the office, just on a different platform.
