Managing Sharing Under Evernote 6.0

[P-TAK14 0]

I know that the new mac version of Evernote - 6.0, comes with some pretty significant changes - which is great and wonderful. However, I just wanted to point out that it appears to have lost the ability to manage sharing permissions like the old version did.

 

More specifically, I often share a class notebook for school with some buddies in the class, and then revoke the privileges once the term ends for my own safe keeping. As it stands, I need to open up the web version of evernote to do this.

 

Just wanted to point that out. Thanks

 

p.s. if there is a better place for me to post the occasional bug report, please let me know.

- Go to the Notebooks view

- Ctrl-click on the shared notebook

- Select 'Manage Sharing…'

Right, of course. That's how I would go about doing it. However the menu item doesn't exist for notebooks that I started sharing before the update, and although the menu item does exists for notebooks that I started sharing since the update, after clicking "Manage Sharing" there is no option to remove folk who I am sharing with - only a publish public link option.

 

Thanks for the quick response. You're on the ball.

That’s strange, I’m seeing the menu item for both previously shared and newly shared notebooks, and the sheet that comes down shows a list of people I’ve shared with, allowing me to stop sharing or change their permissions.

 

Questions to help me track this down:

- Are you a free, premium or business user?

- are you using 6.0 or 6.0.3?

- What OS version are you using?

I see that P-TAK14 didn't reply, but I'm having the same problem. I'm a Premium user of 6.0.5, running on Mac OS 10.8.5. I can't view or edit existing shared folder settings. All I seem to be able to do is to add another share.

 

Going to the browser version, I was able to find it although it's sure not as obvious as before. I clicked on a folder to select it. It says "Shared with 1 person" but I can't click on that. When I click on the "Share" button it allows me to add shares, but doesn't show who it's currently shared with. Finally I found the little info button in the upper right and clicked on that. It says "Sharing: Shared with 1 person" and has a "Modify Sharing" link. So then I have to click that. Wow that's a lot of clicks. I have new clients and this year and no longer have an intern, so I need to review all the folder sharing. I figured it would take about 10 minutes but it's looking more like an hour.

 

I hate to be a cynic but it feels as though Evernote is removing ease of use so that I'll be pushed to upgrade to a Business account. For a single freelancer that seems excessive.

Sorry about that - I guess this one got away from me.

I ended up using the web app to manage the sharing settings that I needed. It appears I still can't do it via the mac app.
