I don't see how setting the local DB files to live in a local OneDrive or Dropbox folder would bypass EN's servers: for example, if, on my Win 10 machine, I set the EN database folder be in my local OneDrive folder, my MacBook is not going to sync from that: it's going to open from its own local DB storage and sync new notes from EN's servers. Anyway, it's allowable now: All I have to go to settings and tell EN to put the DB storage folder in my OneDrive folder. The real concern in doing this is file corruption.

Yeah, I do the same. I guess I'm just being overly cautious. I suppose there's no direct need to backup up the core db files, which I do by default anyway by cloning my data drives once a week too.

All good points. Bottom line, I think I'll leave this idea alone for now!

Back in 2016, someone asked a similar question about Dropbox, and it was heavily discouraged:

Hi, thanks for the detailed response, but unless we're talking about different things, are you sure the above is correct? I can go into Evernote settings right now and change the location of the DB. In fact, I already have it set up to be in my secondary drive. As for performance problems, it's not like you're actually creating a link within EN to a cloud server, you're just putting the files in a local folder that the cloud, like OneNote, syncs to. You're not reliant on the OneDrive's responsiveness. The only reason I can think of Evernote not liking people to move their EN database to a

I've been thinking about changing my database location to my OneDrive folder. Then I found this on an Evernote help page on backing up Evernote: Anyone know why this might be a problem?

Wow -- thank you so much! I'll dig into this.

Hahaha -- I got thousands. They're recipes from webclips. I should have gone for "Simplified article" when I captured them, but live and learn . . .

I've never used Applescript--is it like creating macros? Hard to learn?

I have a lot of notes that need to have simplified formatting applied to them. Any ideas on how? TIA

Add my voice to wanting nesting notebooks. I'm already drowning in tags. And I need to see the visual org of a particular project.

I had the same problem, and this solved it. Thanks!
