wjd 3 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Several updates ago, the Windows Explorer context (right click) menu had a "Send to Evernote" option that could be used to put a file into the program (Start --> My Computer; browse to a file; right click; Send To --> Evernote). This very convenient feature has been absent for several months. Can we have it back? (FYI I am using Windows XP). Link to comment
Garemeister 0 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I'll second this!! It's a tremendously handy feature to have, as I can easily import numerous PDF files, etc for work in just a few strokes. Link to comment
spg SCOTT 736 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Hi, welcome to the forum The send to Evernote option is deleted when you update, but not replaced. I think this is so that they can allow those that have removed it, to continue with it not being there. It is possible to get it back: Manually add it: https://www.evernote.com/pub/spgscott/evernote-help#b=ca136823-f4bd-45ef-9b71-4e942a351b16&st=p&n=1127549d-4937-4b20-aeb5-28f4e7a2c8a4 Scott Link to comment
wjd 3 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Convoluted, but it worked. Thanks, Scott. It certainly must be easier to remove the shortcut than it is to add it, and I don't see what harm its presence would do, so I hope future updates leave it for those who have it so they can continue with it being there and those who absolutely don't want it can delete it. (Or, why can't the update just sense whether it is there or not and act accordingly?) Anyway, thanks again. Link to comment
spg SCOTT 736 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 You're welcome I guess it was a design decision that was perhaps based on feedback at the time... Interestingly, I have to re-add that shortcut but delete the one that it puts on the desktop after every installation. So I can understand for those that don't want it to keep reappearing, but on the flip side I can also see why it should return each time. As I am lazy I added it to my app ENRegEd (in the same notebook linked above) a while ago, so that I can re-add it with just a couple of clicks. Scott Link to comment
CAC 0 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Windows Vista 32 bit Dell Latitude D630 I have the same issue since updating to Evernote 5. The SEND TO EVERNOTE icon in my menu bar returns "'We cannot establish with evernote application. Most likely you have 'Enhanced Protected Mode" and, the SEND option is missing from my right click context menu as well. Even though all the correct files appear in my directory, I deleted them and followed the steps in your post. The problem continues to exist. I have spent two days researching a fix. Link to comment
HumbleOpinion 0 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 After upgrading to Evernote 5, I found that that right clicking the pdf, selecting 'Open with' and selecting Evernote added the file to the default notebook. Link to comment
Mike McGowan 36 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Thanks for the help in this topic. The instructions were clear and this is working as advertised. However, I was hoping that the filename would be come the title. Evernote took the first line of the file for the note. Do I have any control over that -- either in the shortcut or Evernote options?

toruairc 6 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I find it annoying as well that the feature has been removed. I certainly never looked for it.Another workaround is to select "Send to" in the Explorer dialogue box, and then send the email to your Evernote email address. More cumbersome than the original arrangement, but not as convoluted as other solutions. Link to comment
