I think it is because the environment for the apps is changing (like the OSes they are working in, new user habits like the mobiles a few years ago, and today the voice assistants) that forces change. To keep the (G)UI simple while including all this into your ecosystem can be a feat.

Yes, it is possible to delete a whole notebook. Just mark it and hit „del“ (at least it works like that on the Mac client, PC is already down for the night). There even is a box asking if you are sure. If it was a mistake you noticed after you klicked the box away, not much harm done: All notes from that notebook will still be in Trash, ready to recover. It is just bad if it was one of these 1000+ notebooks, because you can not restore the notebook - it is note by note.

So you logged into your account through a FF session - on which OS (Windows, MacOS, ...) ? Personally I use the regular clients, so not much experience with the web client. I remember there was an issue about Firefox not supporting the software that was used to program the current web interface. But I did not follow up, maybe it was resolved in the meantime. You can search the forum for threads about this. I just entered on my Mac into EN using FF, and created a test note, no problems doing so. Another option would be to use another browser, like Chrome or Safari, Opera should work as well.

@IriskaHello, thanks for the heads up. Will the "automatic split" by any means influence our backup processes for the local EN database ? I am using Acronis Backup for frequent backups of the EN data folders.

Would be nice if Firefox would be supported. It is my preferred browser as well. As workarounds you can install another browser (beside FF I use several more, depending on OS and my task), or use the old version of the web client.

If you read the forum, there is currently a high number of complains about the android app, mostly „freezing“ and „slow“. From the sources this comes from I seriously doubt „trolling“. Since the Android universe is much more diverse than Apple/iOS, it is probable there will be users that are affected, and others that are not, depending on device, OS-version and other apps installed (coming from multiple sources, not only the PlayStore). Even when iOS and Android are different, there is one common denominator: Both work off the server, not like the desktops from a local database. So both rely heavily on permanent syncing. At least every time you open a note, this will be called fresh from the server (excluding the special case of offline notebook + being in flight mode).

You will probably be better off to switch to direct install entirely. This is at least my experience. I had problems on my Mac that were only solved by switching to the direct download version, with the same (!) version number as on the App Store. This was 2 month ago. Since I have used the direct download, no problems at all.

"Sometimes" only happens in the last time ? Maybe you should downgrade the Webclient, the new version seems to have some funny behavior (not showing all notes etc.) from time to time.

Good ! Both aspects of it ...

You may think what you think. I think, this forum does not exist to be good PR. It is explicitly user-driven. So sure it helps EN with supporting their SW. For me as a user, it is an opportunity to learn. EN staff reads it, and sometimes shows up to help with some issue. That’s it, and it is not to make PR out of it. The only PR-like stuff are the new videos about what is going on with key functions of Evernote, and these are very tech-driven and valued by a large majority of the forum users (which includes critical comments). If you have a problem, as a paying user you can reach support, either via the implemented function in the clients, or though the option or chat on the EN homepage. It should be obvious that reaching out for support may help on problems with using the app or bugs, much less so on development issues and feature requests.

Sure it would be nice (got my vote as well). Since the toggle can be switched through the API, apps like Filterize allow for this already today - but for an additional price. You can find the description of how-to somewhere higher up in this thread.

My progressives were set to normal use as well. Then I’ve got a stiff neck, etc. So I happily change glasses when I sit in front of my MacBook Pro. Tell you, doesn’t get better from year to year. So I’ve got me the 15“ Hope they put the 17“ to the market rumors talk about before it is too late. Maybe Tim Cook gets older as well, so he made product managers think more about the Golden agers 😂🤣

If it does not show, it is not available. I use my iTunes account for my payments, wherever possible. As I remember, it was possible for EN to do so through iOS.

As a Premium member, you can delete, what you like - you can always go to note history and restore a former status of the note. Only thing: The note must have been saved once, and been synced to the EN server. The note history is always running, for BASIC users as well - but access and restore is restricted to the paying accounts. If somebody on BASIC is afraid to have lost something, one can go for one month to PREMIUM, and restore, because the note history will have covered as well what has happened before. I am using 70% of my EN time my iPad, and have not lost a single note up to now. And if: Note history ! For me, the reason for locking notes is more with shared or business notebooks. There you can control it on a notebook level, but not note by note.

The easiest explanation is that you were on a VPN tunneling to California, or the network was going through a proxy server there. A VPN must nit necessarily be build from the PC, there are complete networks (mostly company ones) that always use a VPN, often going into their headquarter. Thus all devices linked to that network can use the Intranet, servers and other resources of the company. Home use can be to be able to watch the latest Netflix stuff not yet available from ones home country. Check the date and time of the access, and if you may have linked up to such a network at that time.

If you are on a Samsung S9, this is probably the wrong thread ... There seem to be an issue with the Android client, so please check for such postings.

Generally there are 2 starting positions: One before you get involved with a service. You have everything in the open, no investment into one service, no price to pay when you switch over. But on the other hand you just know what they tell you, and you will not have a solid picture of your own usecase and workflows. The other when you already build a significant structure with one of the providers, have invested time and effort, probably learned about and adapted your usecase and workflow to the abilities of the service you use. At the moment I am making this experience, sort of. I worked with Windows PCs for the major part of my professional and private life, and am just now switching to a Mac. Some things work better, others show surprising deficiencies (like the ScanSnap software for Mac). So pick your choice, don’t worry, be happy. To stay on should be a choice of it’s own, not just gravity. P.S. I personally stick with EN for the time being. 1st it offers solid, reliable and performant service for the money, and 2nd I like what I see in recent management communication and release quality.

Just to make it a little easier than the academic explanation, I tell it as a story: I am sitting at my desk in Germany. Now I am going to attack your account (if I had your credentials, which I don't have, and if I had any intention to do so, which I don't have), but want to cloak my location. What would I do ? Activate my VPN, switch the country to say Singapore, which builds a VPN tunnel from my PC to Singapore, and enter your account data. What would you see ? An access from Singapore. Not good enough, because several data from my PC would be transmitted as well, that could be used for fingerprinting my device. OK, so I use some software that will virtually convert my PC into an Android, Samsung S5, together with all false device and SW fingerprints. Now you have got what you would see later: An access from Singapore with an Android device to your account. In reality I am sitting on my desk in Germany, and use a PC to go and steal your data. This is how it happens (or better: If Disaster Kid is doing it, Pros would rather use automated software to do this, and not use a VPN service but a network of "dark" proxy servers used for the same purpose, but harder to track). Wellcome to the world behind the mirrors, where nothing is at it seems. One last thing: Nothing has to do with EN not protecting your data, but with yourself logging in yesterday in the Internet cafe on an open WiFi / your maybe infected hardware / whatever weak PW you may use etc. Just one example: If somebody infected your PC with some malware, even using a PW-Manager will not help, because for example they can log every key you press, including your user name and PW, make a screen copy every few seconds and send it to a remote server etc. If I were to build my EN access into a fortress, I would use a device know for low risk of attack like any iOS device, enter my account, change the PW into a strong one created on my PW manager on this device, get 2FA up and running, and be done. Which is what I have done, someday in the past ...and what you can do as well (maybe minus the iOS device).

@PetsolbDouble posting ... please decide on which thread you want to post, but avoid „copy and paste“ of the same stuff to other posts. You can link to your own content if you think it serves here and there.

On the Mac, the EN database rest in a folder structure. Basically one file per note or attachment. It is quite different to the Windows client where the data is comprised in one big file. You can still find the exact place under which these folders are to be found somewhere in the Mac client. My Mac is already down for the night, otherwise I would try to find it. I do not remember at the moment, but DTLow posted somewhere, somewhen here in the forum how to get to the path. How this will help to rid us from the EN-SPOTLIGHT-KEYCHAIN bug I do not see.

Have all my notebooks offline already ... It just won’t help with the current restrictions of iOS: One note at a time, all the time.

Yes, waiting for this as well ! I hope for more changes, like having a local copy of the EN database on the ipad, being able to open several notes at once, join notes into one, do mass tagging and moving of notes etc like on the desktop clients. I have all my notebooks as offline copy, but it is not the same. On the note taking, I have a personal policy of restricting my use of different apps for one purpose. It is o.k. If you have any of the good note taking apps when you search for content. I go to GN when I remember it was handwritten, and will find it pretty fast. When using several apps for the same purpose, it can be difficult. GN has made it clear they will not make live export to any other services. This is a 10-people company, living on selling the app and not an abo model - so they probably do not want to dedicate a lot of their resources just to keep the interfaces up to date. Noteshelf at the moment stands out with the „save-to-EN“ option, if you are a EN user.

Right, the pdfs are as static as they are from other sources. What I like is that they carry their OCR info, and I can annotate them using the build-in EN tools to do so. I do not say it is the ideal workflow for everybody. In my case, I keep the „living“ notes in GN5 for as long as they need to be appended and edited. GN has included a very good search function with ver.5, that will search all notebooks, not only one as before. For me, I prefer to have a separate handwriting app with a perfect iCloud-sync and other features I like, and have the additional step to export what I want to file away into EN. For other use cases, the Noteshelf option is probably better, especially because Penultimate is a walking dead software, not able to even perform simple tasks offered by most other handwriting annotation apps.

Just as information: There has been reports that the sync from noteshelf into EN has gone bad sometimes. It seems that when the notes get very big (plenty of pages), this can cause hiccups. So if you want to use it, probably keep the notes short, and use more of them. Personally I use GoodNotes 5 for note taking. No sync into EN, but exports as pdf, including OCR for searching in the handwritten notes.

Everybody who will feel better after should change his PW. Nor harm done by doing so ... More important are 3 other things: Activate 2FA, on EN and on any other account where it is possible. Most important are the E-Mail-Accounts because these are often used to reset other Passwords. Get a PW manager that helps you to produce strong, individual PWs. Many (like 1Password) will even analyze your accounts for weaknesses, and will tell you where 2FA is available. Check your accounts (mostly the E-Mail adress often used as account name) whether they appear in one of the many breaches that has happened over the years. These did not happen at EN - but if one reuses account name and PW from other services, the account is at risk. Checks can be done at https://haveibeenpwned.com/ for free. This does not tell that your PW has actually been misused, it just checks whether it is included in the stolen account files that circulate in the internet. Many are ...
