    Forum Digest: November '20

    If you google "Evernote Problems" it will be quite apparent that this company is not long for this world.  They've essentially dropped any efforts for customer support, and I suspect they may have let go the people who might have been motivated and skilled enough to undo the complete mess they've made of their latest update.  Just so you know, (at least until EverNote inactivates export to hold us hostage) you can quite painlessly export all your folders to your hard drive, and then import them to other programs.  I chose to use the (completely free!) OneNote, from much-derided Micro$oft.  Just be sure you have a OneDrive account (which is where your imported files will live) linked to your current microsoft account.  I had some initial trouble, but then MS support (there are actually human beings who work at Microsoft who help people) was able to identify the problem, fix it, and now I've transferred all my folders there.  The platform is a little different, but with a minimal learning curve, works better than the latest (maybe last?) iteration of EverNote.  I've subscribed for a decade, and am a bit nostalgic, but the current problem, with people kvetching on the forum, but with no power to fix things, is the antidote.  I would ask current forum participants: What would/will you do if EverNote suddenly disappears and your files are gone forever?  BTW, to import into OneNote, there's a free app called "StartOneNoteImporter.exe.  At about 1 note/sec, and thousands (5.4 GB) of notes, be prepared, wherever you go, to spend some time.  You import 1 folder at a time.  I have checked with some platforms, possibly better than OneNote, but they don't have an auto-import feature.  Best wishes and condolences to all.  I'm outta here.
