sinman 3 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Hi I want a tool/app that only uploads files to Evernote. I use the web-based EN because the windows client if horrible (keeps going to busy status upon waking up from background). And sometimes I want to upload 30-40 PDFs, but dont want to using the web as it's tedious. I know Windows client has the "import folder" function, but like i said, i DONT want to use the Win version. Plus, I dont have enough space for all the files I have store (like 30GB or so). Is there a tool that is a "one-direction upload" ? Thanks Link to comment
sinman 3 Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 This is the closest that I've come close to for an answer. Evernote, you need a roadmap for future investors/ Link to comment
ScottLougheed 1,316 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Zapier or IFTTT, combined with a cloud service like Google Drive or Dropbox may give you want your looking for. Have you checked those out? I imagine you could create a recipe to take any file added to a specific Dropbox/drive folder and add it to Evernote. Link to comment

On my Mac, I have this scripted (Mac/Applescript) Although much limited, you might make use of the Enscript tool in Windows. https://dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/enscript.php >>I use the web-based EN because the windows client if horrible (keeps going to busy status upon waking up from background).

I suspect this is the problem behind your Windows woes. If it is at all a possibility I would suggest converting to an SSD (with more space than you currently have). System performance will be zippier on all fronts and will likely fix the EN issues. Windows v6 is actually quite good once the performance issue has been tamed. As others have mentioned, import folders is one of the better ways to get files into EN but I do agree that if file management is your main concern then Google drive or Dropbox would probably be better. There is the new Google drive EN integration that might be a good option for your use case. Link to comment
sinman 3 Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 I use evernote as a PDF inbox, as it has many merits over Google Drive or any other storage services. But one thing it lacks is a means of uploading files without the need to store everything... Thanks tho. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,664 Posted July 3, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted July 3, 2016 You could look at the Google Drive integration that's coming along to all clients - store your file in Drive, but have the URL in an Evernote note. Short term you can open the Drive document directly from the note. Longer term (depending on your platform) you can open and annotate the file directly (?) from Evernote. Downsides: the content isn't searchable from Evernote (although you could add exec summaries or even dump the extracted text into the note to aid searches). And - you need network access to Drive to see your files. Link to comment
sinman 3 Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 Yea, thats what i thought... I want to use Evernote as the "Remember everything" but I guess their financial situation is inhibiting this goal... Link to comment

Evernote has a financial situation??? I know they're currently adjusting their plan prices, and incentives on the free plan. I haven't heard anything about finances Link to comment
