  1. The evernote team gave me a solution by increasing my upload limit to 60 GB for 1 month. Meanwhile, using the legacy version, I converted all my local notebooks to regular notebooks and synchronized them.
  2. Thanks very much for the tips and responses. I am going to work on it: a) find out if I can upload my 55GB local notebooks via the legacy version while maintaining date attributes; b) contact the Evernote people if they know a solution to the fact that the 10GB (also the 20GB) upload limit in my case makes migration to the new software (Evernote 10 without local notebooks) complicated (takes 5 months or at least 2.5 months).
  3. Thank you very much for your response. I am going to try it out and will report if that solves my notebook uploading problem.
  4. I have been using Evernote since around 2007/2008, and I understand that software development requires users to be willing to pay a reasonable price. My Evernote archive contains approximately 50,000 items (55GB). As a writer and researcher (lecturer), I have exclusively used Evernote on one computer and only with local notebooks. The reasons for this are maximum speed and performance, sensitive materials not being stored online (such as reminders, health-related information, correspondence with friends, etc.), and direct control over backups. I was (and to some extent still am) a fan of Evernote's design and functionality, even though I noticed that development had somewhat stagnated in recent years. Like many others, I lamented Evernote's decision to disable the ability to use local offline notebooks. There was and still is no technical reason to do this. It would be beneficial if the current owner reconsiders this course of action. I considered (and to be honest, I still am considering) switching to other software options like Obsidian or Joplin. Ultimately, I decided to give the new version (and the new company behind Evernote) a chance. However, during the migration of my old legacy version of Evernote and my local notebooks to the new Evernote 10, I encountered significant obstacles. a. When importing enex files, it seems (unless I am mistaken) that the creation dates of the original notes are lost, effectively destroying the historical dimension/memory of your archive. To address this to some extent, I organized all my notes in the legacy version into yearly notebooks and then exported them as enex files. It's baffling that the software cannot correctly import data from previous versions. b. I have an Evernote Personal account that allows 10GB of uploads per month. This means it would take me 5 months to transfer my old Evernote archive to Evernote 10. Even the professional account with the 20GB upload option doesn't provide a solution, as it would still take 2.5 months. This is unacceptable. Why doesn't Evernote allow users to import their local notebooks all at once into the new version? c. Furthermore, after I imported 6GB of enex files (a few of the old local notebooks) into the Windows version of Evernote 10 as a test, the application kept crashing. This rarely happened with the old versions of Evernote. What should I do now? Honestly, I don't know. I'm considering temporarily reverting to the legacy version until points B and C are resolved. At the same time, I am starting a serious investigation into alternatives for Evernote, even though I would prefer to continue with a properly functioning Evernote.
