Der Eisgraue

Hi! This is the information that Evernote gave regarding this question: https://evernote.com/blog/evernote-free-note-limits From December 4, the Evernote Free experience is changing. Going forward, new and existing Free users will have a maximum of fifty notes and one notebook per account. These limits refer to the number of notes and notebooks a user can have in their account at one time: you can always delete unwanted content to remain below the threshold. In keeping with Evernote’s 3 Laws of Data Protection, and to ensure that you retain full ownership of your data, any Free user who currently has more than fifty notes and one notebook will still be able to view, edit, export, share, and delete existing notes and notebooks.

I follow the threads of people waving goodbye because EN changes, with curiosity. EN is Information Technology. The very nature of IT is transition. Nothing stays the same, because some people want it to stay the same. Solutions are developing, methodology is being adapted. How can I work in the IT or with IT without taking that into consideration? What I do not understand too, is, how people manage to have 1000 of notes and clippings in one tool and keeping them like treasure. I mean, hell, yes, if you write a novel, this is a treasure. But notes are notes are notes. Every time when I have changed the tool for managing notes, I was doing a big clean up and I deleted every time more than 60% of the accumulated notes. And finally I do not understand the katechism of software users. Software is not a religion, it is not an ideology. It is just a tool. Use it or leave it. Simple as that.

This becomes boring: people stepping in just to spit on the floor and say that they want to leave.

Thanks for the response! I think that CalDav is pretty much standard and must be easier to implement than Outlook. But okay, it would be just a nice to have 🙂 Cheers!

Thanks for the explanation 🙂

I think that the question could be if it is possible to export the Evernote notebooks with the attached files. I never did that because I do not have files attached - I keep it stupid simple. So if one export one of his notebook with notes that have files attched (eg pdf): are the files also in the enex file? Cheers, Peter

Well, the thing ist that you can put the "Vault" with the Obsidian content e.g. to Dropbox or pCloud or any other cloud service you may trust, and then it is being synchronized without the need to pay the syn function in Obsidian. If you need to sync it to Android or iOS, there are countless sync apps to sync your cloud to local folders which can then be used for syncing the Obsidian vault. The reason why I moved from Obsidian back to Evernote (yes, I have been there for more than one year or so ...) was that the plain text notes are filled with markdown signs and wikilinks like [[this is a link]] ,... yes, your data is yours but it is being modificated to a kind of propriarity, text full with special signs, bounded together by the markdown engine which is being used in Obsidian. They tell you, your data is yours but in fact you are just captured in another bubble. cheers, Peter

Got that strange bar in the header too: Anyway, I submitted to be part of the new ui testers 🙂

Are you on Windows or MAC? I have the new interface on Win11 and there I have tested a new note with a table and everything works as expected.

I have now also received the new UI on Win11. For me it is like that only the sidebar has turned from black to light-grey. Do not see yet another big change. But I like the view. cheers, Peter

I see. My fault. I have totally overseen the main page of the forum: https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/ But as far as I see, the other boards are not very busy - last updates are from 2021/22 - right?

Good morning from Vienna! Are there plans to divide the forum into sub-forums again? I think that used to be the case and now there is only this one "General Discussions" forum and everything is merging into an unpalatable mash of complaints, technical questions, detailed questions and requests for invoices. For a (paying) customer, the forum is a desolate wasteland, the tone is harsh and toxic. I understand that BS is in the process of getting EN under control and I understand from a process manager perspective that this includes some unpopular decisions such as capacity management related restrictions. But BS (and some of the long-time users here) should not forget how the forum acts as the only, quasi-direct point of contact for ordinary customers who are not here to discuss their frustrations, but simply want to exchange ideas with other users. The way the forum is now is off-putting and disturbing. A division by topic could help users to find their way around and simply leave sections they are not interested in. General Discussions seems more like a makeshift solution to me, an opinion dump. That's enough for now anyway, but I hope BS doesn't underestimate the importance of customer interaction, support and the customer experience when dealing with customers. Regards, Peter

But will be a major release, no?

Hi! I was not specifically writing about security data. I was writing about memories, information, stuff that a worth for you to take down into a note app. Sorry for being misunderstandable. Cheers/Peter

What's about paying the costs of a personal plan? If you don't pay a product, you are the product. Why should everything be free forever and to all? And how can you entrust your personal data to a solution for so many years without knowing how to get out if you ever need to? I cannot understand this irresponsibility towards your own personal data and information. I have been there with the free products and I go, where I have to pay to have assurance that I am a customer, not a user. Cheers! Peter
