Sharing from Safari on iPad to EN ‘works’ when you initially share the clipping. The Evernote share dialog shows that it was ‘shared’. Going into Evernote, I would find that dozens of clips I shared from Safari where ‘syncing’ but never did. Checked on other platform and the clips were not there. Re-installed EN on iPad and now formally clipped, pending to sync Safari / iPad clippings are completely gone. Not even shown as syncing anymore. Further, the trying to share a new clipping Safari/iPad I could not locate Evernote in the list of apps to share to.  Rebooting iPad, I can now see Evernote in list of apps to share to. Shared a new clip and it appeared immediately in EN. 

I can confirm hundreds of shared clipping notes from iOS Safari never synced with my account. This is the newest iPhone with all updates of iOS and Evernote for iOS. I also have deleted/re-installed EN on the iPhone a couple of times prior and it seemed to be working. As mentioned above, the QA and reliability of Evernote has become a joke. Especially a paid service that costs more monthly than either the entire Google Workspace Suite or Office 365. I've been using Evernote essentially from the beginning. Hell, I even purchased one of the OG pink elephant t-shirts and I never where logo apparel (literally, 4-5 logo t-shirts in the last decade), that's how much I believed in the mission and potential. Pretty sure I'm done as a paying customer when the current pre-paid annual subscription expires. Will simply clip fewer casually read articles and use Obsidian for note taking and written concept development.

It's approaching 20GB, which is proportionally too much. But also, don't be that guy. It's easy to get technical and debate people (I'm guilty of it far too often), but not productive. It's a legitimate scenario for many, whether you agree or not.

+1 There are hundreds of votes for this across multiple overlapping feature requests! Given the issues surround file architecture on Mac that prevent us from having the same option as Windows users to define a different EN DB location, Selective Sync seems to be the only viable option...

@DTLow plenty of people have computers with storage limitations now that more expensive SSDs have become the norm. For instance, I have a work laptop (MBP) with only 128GB of storage. I've been happy to use the web/browser version, but there are times when certain functionality isn't available in the browser UI. Clearly the option to locate the EN DB somewhere other than the default HD is desirable and is done frequently by Windows users. I understand that the Mac file architecture makes this more challenging, but doesn't take away from the legitimate need and use-case for many users.

That said... I do appreciate the wealth of knowledge you share with others on here. Thank you.

This would be the single most important feature upgrade for me. I want to select a "from" email address when emailing a note from within Evernote. For login and sharing of notebooks, I'm fine with it always using the official account email.

Here are some specifics of my use-case...

Everything I consume online (excluding video and photo only galleries) gets put into Evernote. It generally falls into two categories, personal and professional. And even within professional I have a long-time email for professional purposes, as well an official email for the company I just started.

Rather than share links directly through my email client, I prefer to the clipped article through Evernote since I can both add commentary and people can read the contents in their email client without clicking through to a web page. When I share I like to maintain the persona relevant to the recipient and what's being shared.

With family and old friends I use my personal gmail. For customers and prospective investors I use my official company email. And for general professional acquaintances I have a third email address that I've maintained for years. I don't want customers/investors having my personal email, and I don't want them confused with a professional email address that doesn't match domain name through which they know me. Similarly, I don't want friends and family replying to my official work email in response to notes I've sent them.
