There are examples on this forum of notes being wiped out by EN sync. Then they are lost forever. This has happened to me.
I also worry about the case where EN goes out of business and we can't access our data. The way they continue to "improve" things is resulting in paying customers leaving, and the alternatives are getting better. That creates a risk that I'm not prepared to take.
As you can see I am a Level 1 user on this forum. EN has just worked in the past and I never had any motivation to get on here and comment. Now it has got so bad I am contemplating moving to another software. 10 years and 1500+ notes, I am not taking this lightly. And if I do decide to move to another platform, 15 exports of 100 notes is no problem at all, I will go to that effort, so this crippling change they made to backup is just dumb.
