  1. The other thread had an unsatisfactory answer and redirected me here.

    I just went into Android's app manager and rescinded permission to access my phone's camera. So far, so good, but sometimes evernote's attempts to upload my photos was delayed, so we shall see whether it actually worked. I love evernote, but if I cannot eliminate this intrusive feature, it might be time to look elsewhere for a similar service.

    I was not satisfied with the suggestion to uncheck the "collect documents" notification, because rather than ensuring evernote would stay out of my photos, it only ensured I wouldn't be told about it. That's worse IMO.

    After all that Facebook is going through regarding privacy, it boggles my mind that the developers at evernote have so little concern for it. If I want evernote to have a photo, I'm intelligent enough to upload it all by myself.

  2. Does that only kill notifications? Or does it stop evernote from saving photos. It looks to me like they added this to the android app without adding a setting to prevent it from saving photos.

    In support, there's a way to turn it off but it only works on the iPhone. 

    "By default, Evernote for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch saves copies of photos you take to your device's Camera Roll. To turn this feature off, go to the 'Account' tab, select Settings > Camera, then disable "Save Snapshots"."

    Unfortunate there's no "save snapshots" setting in my android app.

  3. Same issue. Very annoying.

    Support has this answer which is irrelevant to android.  The "save snapshots" setting is non existent in the android app.

    "By default, Evernote for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch saves copies of photos you take to your device's Camera Roll. To turn this feature off, go to the 'Account' tab, select Settings > Camera, then disable "Save Snapshots"."

    I doubt that they'll do that, particularly in light of the fact that they just made a move to simplify their pricing plans, from 3 down to 2. But hey, you never know.

    But in the interest in generating feedback for them, what would you suggest would be the a la carte feature sets?

    Extra space for one. That's pretty much the only extra I need at this point. As I add more and more to EN, I am beginning to use up my storage. I don't need any premium features, but would be willing to pay something for extra storage. Just like Google offers with drive.

    One other feature I'd considered was a receipts manager. I know an app/extension exists for that but I haven't gotten around to looking at it (just like my taxes, lol). But if it was beyond a basic solution, I'd pay extra.

    Evernote's greatest strength - its versatility - is also its greatest challenge, because there are so many users with very different needs. You have individuals using it for things like research, dissertations, small businesses, giant corporations, project management teams, etc. That's why I suggested a la carte, or at least different types of bundles for different populations. I just don't think there's going to be a one-size-fits-all solution that makes everyone happy.
