OK, they do seem to be downloading, but very slowly (much more slowly than they should do over my broadband connection). Thanks for your help! If anyone from Evernote is reading, I guess my feedback would be to speed up the downloading of attachments (there is no reason it should take several hours to download a few MB of pdf files over a broadband internet connection). It would also be nice if it was slightly more obvious when a notebook is still downloading content. I had to look at individual notes before I realised that the attachements had not downloaded (that was clear enough, they had blue cloud symbols on them). I want to have confidence that all my important notes have been downloaded, so it would be great if the download status was shown more clearly.

When I open an offline notebook in Android, none of the attachments have been downloaded. From browsing the forum, I see that this is an issue in the iOS app if the notebook has not finished downloading, but as far as I can tell all my offline notebooks have finished downloading (there are no status bars and all the download buttons on the offline notebooks I have chosen are green). Is there any way that I can get the Android app to download all note attachments for an entire notebook? I use Evernote to keep all my travel documents (e.g., plane tickets, hotel reservations), and many of those are pdf files. I keep the notebook for the trip offline on my phone, because I do not know whether I will have internet access at the airport or hotel, especially if it is an overseas trip. If I have to connect to the internet to access the attached files, even in offline notebooks, then it makes Evernote pretty useless for travelling. The old version of the Android app definitely did download note attachments, but I'm not sure when this changed (I haven't done much travelling in the past two years...)

It also does not show in Windows or on the web (although it is still showing in Android). I just want to emphasise how important the location information is, even if I cannot view all my notes on a map any more or sort by location. I used Evernote to take notes during fieldwork, and the locations I stored in the location field are where I took samples from. That location data is crucial for my research. I understand that fancy features using the location data may not be high on your list of priorities; however, removing data I thought was safe in Evernote is not good. If I have to manually copy and paste the coordinates into a separate mapping program (e.g., Google Maps) that would be fine, but right now I can't even do that.

I too have just signed up to this forum to vent my frustration at this (after first sending a complaint to Evernote support). Removing public links to notebooks does not turn Evernote into a "more collaborative environment", but rather it does the opposite. I use the shared links to send my notes to my collaborators without forcing them to sign up to Evernote; many of them are not going to sign up to a new service just to view my notes and are instead going to ask me to send them in a different format. The cynic in me suspects that that might be the point: turn all those people who view public notebooks into signed-up Evernote users... That aside, I really should have to learn about the removal of features through this forum. I just wasted half an hour trying to figure out how I'd created public links in the past, only to stumble across this thread and find out that I couldn't any more. If removing public notebook links really is an improvement for us paying customers, where is an official post from Evernote explaining the rational? PS: I find it ironic that the email I just received from Evernote welcoming me to the forum contained a link to an FAQ... in a public notebook...
