Thanks for that advise GM. May be I have not correctly understood everything you said. My concern is this. I realize that evernote gets synchronized on my home PC , on my office PC om my mobile as well as the Ipad since all of them run the application. My fear is that the chances of hacking my notes is multiple as every device has evernote installed.how would you protect that happening? sorry GM - it would be much appreciated if you could explain in the most simplest way. Cheers
