  1. Hmmnn. I must have missed the memo on that one. Where are all these offended users commenting again? And what trick was that exactly?...
  2. <Sigh> No one knows what Evernote's financial status is or was - they have never shared accounting detail. They were initially funded to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars but probably getting to the end of their investors' patience with no clear way forward. Evernote, who's CEO is and was a fan, decided he liked the product so much he bought the company - much like everyone dreams of from time to time. Like any commercial operator with competitors, Evernote have never provided a Roadmap and Bending Spoons have no reason to do so either. Bending Spoons have improved the speed and reliability of the product, added a BETA AI service, improved the code base and increased prices - which had not changed for some years before that. BS also dropped a completely free service that was being abused by some users BS have acquired a reputation - supported by no evidence I've seen yet - of asset-stripping and price gouging. I'd be interested to see actual proof. Evernote customers are not "trapped" - if anyone needs detailed instruction on how to leave I'll be glad to supply them. I will charge a large fee, because all of it is available online - do your own research. If you're not look at what subscription services you use and deciding whether or not they are worth the cost I have a bridge I'd like to sell you. Notes, folder and tags are all available on backup - again, pay me a huge fee or look it up. If you're not prepared to put in the 'additionnal effort and cost' of protecting your own data, then you probably shouldn't store it online. Backups are essentail! Please can we go back to talking about actual facts instead of shaky opinions soon?
  3. There are a few. Try searching. Export notes and notebooks as ENEX or HTML Export notes as a PDF https://www.wikihow.com/Migrate-from-Evernote-to-OneNote https://www.notion.so/evernote
  4. Having once run a Support team at an ISP which ran into the year 2000 bug I can testify that no matter how good a company you are, no matter how good the staff, bad things can happen out of the blue that take ages to dig out from under. The only thing you can ask for at that time is a supportive group of users who will stand behind you with patience and confidence that you will get out of the mire as quickly as possible and put things back to rights, and not just snipe at every real or imagined slip. Hope Evernote finds such a group soon...
  5. It's also a waste of space, because all those files are also replicated in your Evernote database and (theoretically) only if files in the folder are altered will any changes get sent to Evernote when your OS updates the file information. If you change the information in Evernote by opening a file from within a note, any changes are synced directly back to the note and the folder copy does not get changed to match. It's not a good idea to have two potentially live copies of the same information. Better to backup the database to ensure the embedded copy is safe. For some reason I had the same experience several months ago with my Import Folder where 20 or so files were imported two or three times before I realised what had happened. It only happened those few times and I have no clue why. However I now clear it after each import session - by moving the files to another archive folder on an external hard drive.
  6. Part of the joy of posting in a public forum - when you're right, you're right; when you're wrong, people tend to be abrasive. As long as they don't get too personal or abrasive....
  7. Everyday is a learning day... I logged into an old test account and immediately got image 1 - but there was a clear link to image 2 (where apparently they think I'm in Los Angeles, but my VPN and Whois says London) and it was easy to dump one device (image 3) and get to my notes... and hilarious that the marketing department builds a 25%. then a 40% discount into the process automatically! Bad news that there's still (apparently) a Device Limit - but no-one (also apparently) needs to pay $129.99 in their first year - it should be $77 & change! 1 2 3
  8. While I sympathise with the annoyances of a computer system / web process that does not do what you want, Evernote is not going to change the cards they accept for one user. Find a different option or use a different application. Plus a blow by blow account of how incompetent the management of Evernote appears is not the purpose of this forum. Please play nice.
  9. Glad for you - but please just post the once in future?
  10. Hey! There's being supportive, and there's being carried away - lets not get too ambitious!
  11. HI. Bad news - that's an absolute limit unless you subscribe. There is no reset.
  12. Hi. Help are under a bit of pressure, and we're now into the holiday season when lots of people want time off... good luck with the query - you just need to be patient for a while...
  13. I don't believe the Plus plan is still available, but we're other users here - no access to money issues; you need to contact support. It'll take a while - they're already under pressure, and its the holiday season. Good luck! Support - https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?guest=true - use the issue type "Account" - or go via Settings in the mobile app. -
  14. To fix occasional errors with installs or updates on laptops or desktops - plus issues with speed or lag 1 - Make sure your notes are synced up to date 2 - Exit Evernote (if you can) / delete data from device 3 - Uninstall app with Appcleaner (Mac) or Revo Uninstaller Free (Win) 4 - Power device off / allow 10 seconds / power back on 5 - Download latest Evernote from Evernote.com 6 - Reinstall. It will take a little while for the app to be fully operational Additional Checks: Verify Evernote's Hardware Acceleration is set to ON - go to Tools > Settings > Preferences > Application and scroll to the bottom. The "hardware acceleration disabled" box should be UNticked, but if you're having issues change that setting and restart the device. (Come back and change it again if that doesn't help!) If you have any issues deleting Evernote data, see: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500004231762-Remove-Evernote-data-from-your-Mac-or-Windows-device

  16. Hi. If you tripped that particular warning, I'm afraid the two options are: wait or subscribe (even if only for a month). Support seem to be taking around 14 days to respond to queries, so you'll likely get past the reset date before Support could comment on this anyway.
  17. If you're new to Evernote -and in line with the usual "30 days free, then you pay" sort of scenario, I'd have thought that 50 notes and 1 notebook is enough to work out whether Evernote does what you need. If you need more space, you pay. And being tired of providing a free lunch for a whole group of unproductive non-subscribers, Evernote offered the option - pay up or go away. They're not looking for conversions, they're fixing a drain on their resources in the future.
  18. Hi. Sorry for the upset, but you still have access to your existing notes; you just won't be able to create any new ones.
