That's fantastic advice, I'd never thought to tap that button. I'm entirely happy with this approach. Many thanks

I apologise for giving misinformation Dave. URLs do open in my default browser on my Android phone - doh! It's on my iPad where I experience the behavious I mention. In 1.jpg I demonstrate a URL in an EN note In 2.jpg The web page is opened in a 'sub-window' In 3.jpg I'm switching between open applications, and can see that the web browsing is 'within' the Evernote app The behaviour I am hoping for is the web page to be opened in the default browser on my iPad (DuckDuckGo), such that I can then switch into EN for whatever note taking I might want to do. I do recognise that this may be an 'iOS thing' rather than an 'EN thing'. If so, I apologise in advance. 😌 Cheers, David

Hello, I'd like to learn if there was a way to set a default behaviour in EN, on Android or iOS, such that clicking on a URL in a note results in a web browser (preferably the default) opening, rather than it being opened in an EN sub-window. I'm finding that if I'm viewing the web page in the EN window and want to annotate an EN note, I have to mess around with exporting to a browser, before returning to EN for the edit. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, David

Thanks for confirming this behaviour. I'd like to ask a follow-up question... When viewing a web site in the EN integrated browser, I sometimes want to snip (copy) a little text from the web page and drop it into an existing EN note. I seem to have to close down the EN browser to get to EN 'proper' to be able to select the note I'd like to use for hte pasting operation. This seems like a lot of rigmarole, as I then need to open the web link in the integrated browser again to return to where I left off. I only have this behaviour on iOS, when using EN on my Android phone any web links open automatically in my default browser (DuckDuckGo). I confess this is NOT causing me sleepless nights, I was just wondering if there was an easier way to copy data into notes when viewing a web page in the integrated browser, though opening web links in the iOS default browser would have been even better. Thanks, David

You're both right that I shouldn't be too bothered about the EN footprint on my mobile devices. I guess it's hard to get out of the habit of wanting to prune away my unexpectedly large EN notes based upon a 20MB PDF, or being alarmed that after merging several image notes they came to 30MB. I will have to learn to 'chill out'. 🙄

Thanks for the advanced search tip - I will look into that. I was hoping there was something akin to the Windows (File) Explorer view, where you can see choose to display the size / date of a file, and sort by it if so desired. I do recognise that because it's easy in Windows, it doesn't follow that it is 'do-able' in EN. Cheers, David

Hi, I think the 2GB footprint was on my iPad - I always update to the latest client. I only have 3,200 notes. I have some saved images for sure, but don't know an easy way to identify them, so that I could then potentially delete them. Thanks, David

Hello, I'm an EN fan on Windows, iPad & Android. Sometimes when I get into problems with syncs, I've needed to delete the app / data, then re-installed and re-synchronised. I was recently amazed by a message that said I had something like 2GB of data - I didn't imagine I would have such a big footprint. Is there a way to display the size in MB of my notebooks and / or notes (preferably in a list), as I imagine I have a few rogue notes which I ought to identity and prune. Thanks, David

Thanks for the beebom link - it seems very promising. I'm also grateful for the suggestion to switch back from Beta - I'll do it straightaway, before I customise or configure my Chromebook much further. Thanks Dave Decatur - here's a link to some of my volunteer efforts https://www.ineededtobeneeded.com/work/passwords/ Out of curiosity I did a search on my web site for "Evernote", and there were three records in my diaries! TTFN, Dave

Hello EN addicts, I'm a dozen or so years fan of EN, I presently use it on a Windows 10 laptop, an iPad and a MotoG Android phone. I do a little voluntary support of elderly folk as a 'tech buddy', and decided to plunge into getting a Chromebook, as I imagine they might be a good fit value-wise for people who have no affinity to Windows / Apple. As a complete newbie, I've just bought a Lenovo Ideapad Duet Chromebook 10.1 (August 2022). I've installed EN from the Play Store onto my Chromebook, but it's showing as version v8.13.3, dated June 3rd 2020. I've learned from an EN support call that my Chromebook needs to be Android v11, for EN10+ to work. Despite my ChromeOS being up to date at v104.0.5112.105, digging under the covers shows that Android is v9 (security patched to August 5, 2022). I'm feeling a little deflated with my Chromebook experience, where the device that I've just bought is seemingly two years out of date already. Since I'm unable to install a current version of EN, support advised that I might be better off using Evernote for Web - my EN 8.13.3 doesn't even show tasks. I'm taking a long shot that someone could signpost me to engaging with a suitable Chromebook forum - my hope is that I can somehow get Android updated to v11. I'm keen to become familiar with a Chromebook, and would dearly like to get over this EN hurdle. Kind regards, David

I hadn't realised there was a means for a subscriber to raise a support call on Evernote. I shall do that now, and mark your response as a solution. Cheers, Dave

Thanks gazumped. I'm confident that I've left my mobile devices running EN in a connected state for well over a week. I don't imagine I'm a heavy EN user; I've lots of notes, but not many with images or PDFs embedded, etc.

Hello all, I'm hoping someone can guide me a little on the use of "Offline notebooks" on my Android and iOS devices. I'm a reasonably familiar user of EN - my main usage is the EN desktop app on Windows 10. On both of my mobile devices, I've tried setting 'download all notebooks' and left the devices online overnight. I find that I occasionally have notes which aren't available when I access EN offline on the devices. As a troubleshooting exercise, I chose to 'download selected notebooks' and ticked all of my notebooks - about ninety or so (see attached image). I'm still finding in circumstances when I'm offline, that I occasionally don't have access to some notes I want on my mobile devices. As a further troubleshooting exercise, on both devices I completely re-installed EN, but that hasn't overcome the problem. I wonder if anyone has any insight into the best approach to achieving offline notebook confidence? I do have a specific question... When I have clicked 'Download selected notebooks' - and ticked them all, I see a green line appearing underneath the names of some of the notebooks, perhaps about 20% of them. Can anyone advise of what the green line is meant to indicate... on some the notebooks the green line is about 90% complete, with a 10% bit of grey on the right extreme. My hunch would be that this is indicating that the notebook is not fully synched, but: a) I'm leaving the device alone to synch for a long time, b) most notebooks don't have a green line at all. On the screenshot, it can be seen that 'Volunteering Misc' green line is almost complete... but not quite. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated - thanks, David

Hello, I'm using EN 10.26 on iOS, as well as EN on Android and Windows. I'd like to know if it's possible to change the EN behaviour in iOS when clicking on a web link, such that it opens a 'regular browser' first (e.g. DuckDuckGo) rather than the EN browser. I know that once in the EN browser I can click on "export to DuckDuckGo"; I'm simply curious to know if the default behaviour can be changed. Thanks, David

This is a very helpful idea. From my limited testing it seems to do the trick - thanks. Is there a similar trick for iOS?
