Dear All,
I have a paid a/c of Evernote and Microsoft 365, including OneNote and with Onedrive.
1. To present logically I'm taking examples of my experience using OneNote and onedrive.
2. Creating a new notebook, in OneNote, provides an option, where to store i.e local drive or in onedrive.
Notebooks created in a local drive (e.g.C: or 'D: ) do not need to be synced and are available locally every time
Even the locally opened notebooks are also accessible for opening, moving, using file explorer i.e without even opening Onenote app
This is super useful since I have a surface pro and I prefer to carry it as a single device.
Evernote needs to provide similar option i.e Notebook storage on a local drive, which does not require synching, and the notebook properties display the same.
3. Creating a notebook in Cloud
Onenote provides an option, to create notebook in onedrive by selecting the drive ( i.e onedrive).
This is also displayed in the Notebook properties.
For notebooks created in Onedrive , it opens a local folder on my surface pro named c:Onedrive .....
every time when I work with my notebook (which is in Onedrive) , it updates my onedrive folder on Drive 'c: in the first instance, irrespective I'm connected to the Internet or not.
Subsequently, in the background, my onedrive folder on drive 'C: is synching to my onedrive folder in the cloud.
This helps to 100% accessibility & availability of notebooks on my surface pro ( i.e device on which my cloud notebook is created) whether it's synched or not synced , and whether I'm connected to the internet or not.
This is super-useful for a professional who works in the field, on a remote project where the internet connectivity as well as the quality of the network is a challenge.
4. Synching status window.
Onenote gives the option for synching a particular notebook or all notebooks, manual sync, or auto sync over the right click.
The synching dialogue box also gives synching progress similar to email synching and displays, complete sync or which particular notes shows a sync error.
5. TO SUMMERIZE EVERNOTE SHOULD AND PROVIDE FOLLOWING
A- Option for storage location (local drive / or cloud ) while opening a new notebook. And same should be displayed in properties.
B- Notebooks opened in Cloud, by default there should be a folder in local drive where primarily the cloud notebooks should get stored / updated , and later in background and depending upon availabilty of internet it should sync.
C- Sync status to have more option , i.e sync a particular note book , or sync all notebooks and date and time last successful sync with any error log .
I'm quite sure that these are not only my specific requirement by requirement of other working professionals like me , who depends on their data availability & access all time whether internet connectivity is there or not.
Please note, when the data is not available at all time, how so ever the product is, it's of no use.
I sincerely hope, user community will join and share their thoughts and experience on this and Evernote shall consider providing this as a standard feature.
