Ok, it looks like Windows stores files differently from a Mac.  Unless someone else steps in and can help, time for a support request.

Ok, thanks for trying.

Ok.  A couple of last comments and then I'm afraid it may be time to contact support.

Try changing a file that is in Evernote and then check your documents folder to see if the file is updated there.  Add a new file to Evernote and see if it shows up in your documents folder.  I'm a Mac user.  Maybe this is something specific to Windows.

I just added a new file right before this comment. Its a few folders deep here

When you uninstall there is a question about it keeping data.  Did you have it delete the data?  It will then rebuild your Window's database.

Were they in your documents folder to start?  Notes get copied into Evernote, not moved.  Could these be your original files separate from your Evernote database?

I deleted the data.

No. I usually pull them in from a separate temporary folder. I don't use the Documents folder

What data path did it show before you changed it?  Having Evernote documents in the documents folder is unusual.  How were these files added?  Were they scanned in?

Users/Username/AppData/Roaming/Evernote was the path.

I generally drag and drop files into the notes. 

I uninstalled, reinstalled, changed the path and they are still in the docs folder.

Under settings - applications - Evernote local data

This will move, I believe, your entire database and not just the attachments.  You might want to check to see what that shows for you.  I didn't think Evernote used the documents folder.

You find the location change in the app settings - unless you use a Store version. In this case a change of location is not available there.

But you can change the location even then - just google for "Symlink" to learn how.

You should keep your data on a local drive. Putting the data on a removable or network drive can cause problems. Avoid a turning disk drive - performance will be abysmal.

I'm not using the store version. I changed the local data location and attachments still appear to be in the Documents folder.

Is it possible to change the storage location for attachments? I don't like it being the the Documents folder and would prefer to change the location.

Thanks

Agreed. Missing this feature from the previous version.

Please bring this back

C:\Users\name\AppData\Roaming\Evernote

This folder is nearly 70gb. How can I limit this? I don't want to set up alternate accounts or anything like that. Is there no way to clamp down how much space is available for cache?

Maybe none, I didn’t start to talk about sync problems. 

In general all devices sync to the server master copy, and all devices receive their syncs from there. There is no direkt device to device sync between clients. And the web client shows what is on the server.

By Definition the web client can’t have a sync problem, because it works directly on the master copy.

So the two devices sync to the master copy on the server and the web uses this copy. If that's the case I really don't understand how I can make changes on both clients and these changes sync to both Android and the Legacy program but aren't visible on the web.

The web can’t „not sync“. It goes directly on the server data base, no need to sync.

If there is a difference, one of the other devices has a sync problem.

 

If the two devices have the exact same notes, then which one has a "sync problem"? 

Off. My Android and Computer Legacy sync together but just not the web. Tells me it syncs to server if those two devices are reflecting changes. Not sure why the Web doesn't...still waiting on a help ticket response. 

I have 6.25 and the older Android app and just noticed when I was logging into the web that things aren't syncing. I rarely use the web version but last time I checked things were still syncing. Did I miss a change or an announcement?

In Android you have to go via an APK repository. apkmirror is well regarded although some will advise against it since it isn't an officially supported option.  So you can use your favouriate search engine and download the apk if you are comfortable with the potential risk.

Thanks. I'll have to take the chance. I pay for this software and its unusable on my phone in its current state.

Oh, do you have a video of that? On my system Evernote loads in about 2s.

I don't have a video and there's no need. Take a look around, you're the exception to the majority of user's experiences with this terrible update. Consecutive 1 star reviews on the play store for as long as you can scroll. 

Current version is horrendous. I have Legacy on my desktop and it works fine, just need something for the phone as its currently unusable.

Evernote has made enormous progress in the last 2 years. 2 years ago there were 5 different code bases and a thoroughly outdated back-end. None of the apps worked correctly. Now there's a unified code base and a modern back-end. Releases happen regularly and each one makes the app better, with improvements in speed and functionality. This has been pretty obvious for the last few months.

This aged poorly. Here we are in May and the app kills half my battery before it loads. Complete trash.

Has this function been added yet or should I remain with the Legacy version?

I just upgraded from a S7 to an S9 and I can't seem to add multiple pictures to a note. I used to be able to go to my pictures, select multiple and then share to a new evernote note and it would work. It now only adds a single picture. If I go into a note and then try to attach multiple pictures the same thing happens...

The previous version of the software allowed for easy copy and pasting of attached documents. Looks like this has been removed from the new version. Evernote always served as a file locker and now the process of getting info out of the software has been made more difficult. Time to downgrade.
