This is at least an 8 year long request and on a very important topic nonetheless. What is Evernote's response to the request for the ability to encrypt notes (not just lines of plain text) or whole notebooks? I don't understand why after 8 years we still don't have it, but I'm sure there's a good reason. It might help to hear the explanation. Thank you.

It has been 8 years since this was first requested and from what I can see, Evernote has been completely silent on this issue. Even with the frequency of recent changes and updates, not a word about giving the user an option to encrypt complete notes or notebooks.

I agree. I am having issues nearly everytime I load the Windows desktop app... load time is very slow (10 seconds or more) and is often times unresponsive for a few seconds before completely loaded. The mobile app makes me log in every single time I open the app and inline images in older notes are usually not available. Very frustrating.

I agree. Well said. There are just way too many positives to Evernote... hopefully they will one day do something more on that front, but until then I will manage my own security as needed. Thanks for the response.

I thought they already had 250 million? Anyway, great points @DTLow I appreciate the reply. At the end of the day, yes, there are workarounds even though as a subscriber and an "all in" Evernote user, I would love to see more integrated security controls. However, between 2 factor auth, text encryption, and native file encryption - security can work and it is certainly worth the additional effort because Evernote is still BY FAR the greatest solution out there. (I reread my post from the other day and I really sounded upset... haha. I wasn't, I was just disappointed. I was really hoping this latest update had some security stuff rolled up in it. )

I am a huge Evernote user and have been waiting for encryption for years, along with everyone else. It is incredibly disappointing that it is still not a base feature of this product. I don't know the reasons why full notebook encryption (not just text) isn't available, but in this day and age it is irresponsible for a cloud service company of this size to not offer a way for their customers to protect their personal information. There are other solutions out there, albeit not as feature rich as Evernote - but as soon as one of them catches up and offers encryption... AND should they have a streamlined process for transferring note content out of an Evernote account into their solution, I predict a mass exodus of Evernote users.
