JHollard 0 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I'm relatively new to Evernote and am very happy with it's performance. I do, however, have an issue. I don't need to sync over multiple devices - Just need to organize, tag, note about 2500 PDF files on a single computer. Early on in my testing it for my use I received a pop-up notification that I had reached my monthly limit - about 60mb I believe and that if I wanted to be able to sync I'd have to upgrade. I don't need to sync - but that error/pop-up seems to stop my ability to tag/note any further files until I do upgrade. Do I have to upgrade to be able to use the product on one machine with lots of files? if I do NOT have to upgrade - is there a work around so that I can continue testing to ensure Evernote will be effective for our needs? Thanks. Link to post

Are you using notebooks defined as local (i.e. non-sync'd)? Do you have auto syncing turned off? Link to post
JHollard 0 Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 I do believe that I have auto syncing turned off... not sure if I have notebooks defined as local... sorry... Link to post

JHollard 0 Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 OK - I'll keep searching on how to define notebooks as local - thanks Link to post
Level 5 jbenson2 2,118 Posted August 26, 2016 Level 5 Share Posted August 26, 2016 In Evernote Windows, you can right click the notebook for its properties The name of local notebooks are grey. Sync'd notebooks are black The newest beta version allows you to >File >New Notebook or >File >New Local Notebook I believe the older versions required you to right click on the top icon above your notebooks. It has a black notebook icon with the word Notebooks. Link to post

Level 5* CalS 4,734 Posted August 26, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) @JHollard If Windows, go to File - New Local Notebook to create a local notebook. And as per @DTLow, create a backup of your local notebooks at a frequency that is comfortable for you. I would recommend the ENEX export option. EDIT: Oops just realized the above is a repeat of @jbenson2. Edited August 26, 2016 by csihilling Link to post
