Moved to a feature request forum, so that you all may now vote on this.

This is available on all platforms, as DTLow notes. This is not, however, a subfolder system; this is just a way to collect notebooks together. A true subfolder system would allow you to put notes into a stack, but that's not allowed here.

Moved to Evernote Feature Requests subforum, so that users may vote on this.

Moved to a voting area. Vote away...

Good question. You should be able try it out yourself (I can't at the moment). But on the surface (and without knowing how your team workflow works), it just seems as though if you have multiple notes you're going to want as viewable only, it would be easier in the long run to set up a notebook explicitly for that purpose, rather than sharing note by note.

Hmmm, could have sworn that around the time that the version of Evernote came out that moved from the Evernote folder to the user's folder I copied my database over to my SSD drive, and pointed Evernote there; no registry hacking involved. But that was more than a couple of weeks ago, so longer than my horizon for remembering details like that. Anyhow, thanks for that. I'm not using the store version, but that seemed like an unasked question in the context.

If you're using shared notebooks, then you can put things that you don't want editable into a shared notebook that has view-only rights. Or you can share individual notes as view-only. That's about the best you can do at the moment. If you're not using shared notebooks, then you probably should be in a team situation.

But can you still tell it where to find the database in its custom location?

Yes, they do. They don't always respond.

This quote is from the first of the linked articles. Seems pretty definitive to me. " On August 2, 2016, Evernote Touch will be replaced with the full-featured Evernote for Windows desktop app in the Windows Store. "

Your computer also allows you to set up different accounts; you can lock yours (or log out altogether), and someone else can log in under a different account. Your operating system has already provided you with the essential security features to easily solve this problem.

"Smallest-smallest" probably picks up small icon-y type things, the sort of things you *don't* want in a thumbnail: they're probably more like decoration than useful content. There's no real best algorithm, just thumbrules. You're always going to find bad cases with any heuristic. I voted this one up for explicit user choice.

I have a couple of special powers; being able to move posts to more appropriate locations is one of them. Any user may vote on feature requests (except for the original poster); the voting button is up at the top-left part of this page, next to the title. You may only vote up, not down, except to remove a prior up vote by you (a forum rule chosen by Evernote, I think). Vote away.

@Dave-in-Decatur Hmmm, interesting, and a little surprising (to me anyway). You'd need to get the skinny from a dev; that's where the old largest-smallest info came from. I think that the ability to select the thumbnail image would be a good feature, though. This should be in a Feedback forum; I'll move it and then vote for it.

At a guess, it's using the same criterion for choosing a thumbnail image. I can't see why it would be different: a thumbnail is a thumbnail.Notes in snippet view are displayed with a thumbnail (if any exists) and a snippet of text content,

As far as I know, they're essentially the same going forward (https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/223607067). This is the public announcement: https://blog.evernote.com/blog/2016/09/14/evernote-comes-windows-store-edge-outlook-app/

More likely they'd like them to upgrade to a paid account, but sure, if the two simultaneously signed-in device limit is too onerous for some -- particularly those who would never pay -- then it seems they'll likely take that hit, yes. Let's just say that the device limitation sharpens the distinction between free and paid tiers, and makes it easier to choose what to do...

Maybe now that they have a common editor (though I don't know exactly how widespread its use is), that's probably a good idea.

The upload limit is something I've never, ever, encountered, though some do in an initial rush to get absolutely everything into Evernote. Regardless, if you have your data in a paid account, then that's the only place that upload limits matter, I think. Using shared notebooks doesn't count against the upload limit of the account using the shared content; even adding content to a notebook that's shared to you doesn't count against you, as far as I know; it counts against the account of the notebook owner.

You could always set up a central account that holds all of the data, and share with individual users' accounts. You can even make shared content read-only. This is generally pretty feasible.

It's nothing to do with Google, since nothing has has actually happened there yet. The question is, are you using the free version, and are you offline when this is occurring? That would mean that note has been kicked out of the cache, so it can't be accessed. Otherwise, you're probably in a customer support situation.

If it's not in the product, then its status is "not implemented".

Sure, the use case is pretty well understood. Feature prioritization is aided by requests in the forums, but is not the only input to the process. It would certainly be a welcome feature for many Evernote users, but Evernote folks tend not to comment on future features until they're pretty much ready to go. I can't recall off the top of my head whether there's been comment on it, or not; if I come up with one, I'll post it here..

In my experience, and based on the comments of some Evernote employees, they don't often announce upcoming features until they're almost ready to go (and you can see them in beta releases), nor do they often definitively rule out future development directions. All in all, It's probably better to base your expectations on what is actually in the product than what may appear some time later.

The status of selective sync that it is not implemented in the Evernote desktop clients. You can achieve something similar to selective sync if you're willing to use multiple accounts (two should suffice) and notebook sharing: set up a master account that holds all of your notes, and a slave account that you want to use on some device. Share the notebooks you want from the master account with the slave account. Awkward, but it works.
