Watch Folder feature for Evernote Mac

[Joel Nisson 0]

I know a Folder Watch feature for the Mac version has been requested in the past, but as a new Evernote user, I would like to add my voice to that request.

 

I have a folder containing lots of small text files that are generated and modified by another note-taking program.  It would be great to have all those small text files loaded into EN as notes and then modified/added/deleted as the Watch Folder changes.

 

Thanks.

Search for veritrope - he has a script that does the same as watched folders and it seems to be well regarded by other users on here.

It would definitely be nice to have the watch folder functionality in the Mac like as it exists in Windows. You can pretty easily make your own (http://www.documentsnap.com/evernote-mac-import-folder/), but having it update/delete based on content is a different story.

The Windows client does not have update capabilities. If you overwrite an existing document in an Evernote import folder, you will get a new note, not an update to the note that contains the old copy.

So, what is the answer to the question: is the watched folder feature going to be available for Mac users in the near future?

Evernote don't often discuss their roadmap - the current situation is that it doesn't exist in the Evernote product but there are third party solutions available.
