Actually all hope isn't lost just yet. Didn't realize that I would need to re-point all of my import folders again. Time will tell because it usually works after I re-point the folders. I will report back after some time to let you know if it works. Fingers crossed.

I think that was an excellent suggestion and to be honest I had some hope because the version seemed to be a few newer than the one from the Apple app store. Unfortunately after downloading and scanning in another file it still doesn't work unless I remove the specific imported folder than re-add it back. Appreciate all of the suggestions. Think I'm probably just going to stop using Evernote for my attachments and probably just scan my attachments directly into Google Drive and cancel my Evernote subscription. Again, thanks for your effort and appreciate all of the suggestions.

No luck. I do like the simplicity of the NAPS2 software though and may use that instead of the Epson software. But Evernote isn't updating with the new file. I even tried moving a PDF out of a separate folder on my Mac and into the sync folder and nothing. So not even using a scanner. I think the issue is more related to the connection between Evernote software and the folder on my Macbook. Because again, when I delete the import folder from within Evernote settings, then re-add it back, those new files that I just added will then pop up.

Thanks, @VincentC. Going to give this a shot now.

I just tested saving the file into a non-synced folder and afterwards moving it to a synced folder and no luck. Evernote does not recognize that a new file was added to the synced folder. It was worth a shot.

Thank you all for working with me here. If I don't sound appreciative of the efforts then I do apologize. The input is appreciated. Just quite frustrating that there is a feature that would be absolutely ideal if it worked, and the alternatives are kinda horrible. But I do thank you.

My scanner doesn't "build the file" while it scans. The epson software scans the docs first. There you can edit and delete pages as you wish. Then you decide how you want the resulting file saved. I then give it a name and save the file as a pdf in specific folders that I have setup to sync long after the files have finished scanning. The file doesn't seem to get created until this process is complete. Why do I say this? Because if I go to the folder after I have saved it, the file doesn't show up immediately. Once it does I'm able to open it right up without any issues. I'm still having this issue and nothing seems to be working.

I use Epson scansmart to scan PDFs into a folder on my Mac. The folder that it saves to is set to import in Evernote. For example, I have a folder on my mac titled "Scan to Evernote'. Inside of that folder I have subfolders, for example Medical. Epson saves the PDF directly in the Medical folder. I can see the PDF on my Macbook. No different than just doing a file save as. My Evernote is set to import the Medical folder attachments and go into the Medical Notebook that I have in Evernote. It's pretty darn straightforward if you ask me. Edit: Once I delete the import folder in Evernote and re-add it it will bring in the attachments. Why do I need to do that?

I don't want to have to do it that way. The whole point of the sync feature is that I don't have to do this. Evernote has a feature that flat out doesn't work. I'm still having this issue. Every time I try and scan a pdf to a synced import folder Evernote fails to sync it. Every time I need to go into Import Folders, Delete the folder, then re-add it. It's absurdly pointless.

It's annoyingly frustrating. And there really is no support on this. I still have this issue. Every time I save a file to an imported folder it doesn't update in Evernote. Every single time I scan a file into the import folder, I need to go into Evernote, delete the import folder, then recreate the import folder. I'm very close to just canceling my Evernote subscription but it's becoming worthless. I'll just save all of my files in the folder directly without this app.

Bump

Logging out from the app on my Macbook? Not at all. I never have to sign back in.

Yeah I already tried all of that to no avail. Have to delete and reconnect to each folder every time which defeats the whole purpose.

I've had this issue for a couple of years now and I'm really tired of it. It looks like people have had similar trouble in the past and no solution. I think it's ridiculous that Evernote has not addressed it even though multiple users have encountered it. My guess is that there was an update around the 2021 timeframe that caused it. My import folders used to work fine. They worked fine for a couple of years. Then one day they just stopped working. When I save a file to one of the imported folders, nothing happens. Evernote does not sync it to the Evernote app. I need to delete the connection to the folder then reconnect to it. It will work for that session but the next time I go to use it I have to go through that whole process again. It's so annoying. My life would be so much easier if this function worked the way it used to or the way it's intended. Anyway, has anyone else come across this and found a solution?
