kbfprivate 2 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I'd like to upgrade to EN Premium because I am interested in the sync feature for attachments. When syncing to your computer, does it download all the attachments to a place I can access or are they stored in a proprietary format? Currently I scan using ScanSnap and it uploads to EN automatically. I then download the attachment from the new note onto my local hard drive. If I can eliminate this 2nd step through syncing, I'm sold and will sign up for Premium this weekend. Thanks! Link to comment

In Windows, attachments are stored inside the note database (implemented by a SQLlite database), along with the note data. You can save attachments to disk using the Evernote client, in the original format, and access them there, or just use the client's ability to open an attachment for editing, if that's what you are trying to do.

Interesting I didn't realize it was stored in a database. I'll have to look at developer forum to see if anyone has implemented an application that can suck all the attachments out of the database for storing in a different location. My concern is storing the PDFs only in the database and nowhere else. If anything ever happened to EN (unlikely at least in the near future), I'd possibly lose access to all my documents. If no solution exists, I'll probably create my own so that I don't have to rely on EN being around forever. Thanks! Link to comment
kbfprivate 2 Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 It turns out it's pretty easy to select all my notes in EN and then select "Save Attachments". That should work fine for now since I can make an offline backup of all the attachments. No need to make the process overly complex Link to comment
