  1. Thanks for the warning @Wanderling Reborn. I do use many attachments but I am not concerned about their renaming. I prefer renaming to total loss... (I still did not hear ANYthing back from Evernote support... nothing at all after 2d....) Picking the right solution is definitely a trade-off and I reacted here mainly because I am sad to see how the Evernote potenital is not pushed further and declines for years. I also shocked to see "enterprise" solution pushed where the infra to support those need is far from being met. I understand and respect that some users are OK with what happens. I understand that some users never lost any notes. I did not lose any note, until that happened.... In the end, I did not lose any data because I had backups. But I paid Evernote precisely to take care of that and they did not. Mistakes can happen and it is more about HOW the issues are solved. In my case, the issues remains totally unsolved and I am in the dark. In the meantime, FOSS solutions such as Joplin are making great progress and already address many of the issues I grew with Evernotes' strategical decisions. But honnestly the ONE killer for me is security (or the lack of...). No one (not Evenote, not Joplin, not anyone...) can garranty 0 breach. Breaches did happen and will happen again. When that happens, the question is about what is in place to mitigate the issues... Joplin offers E2E (optional) and self hosting (users can mix and match). Evernote was breached already but nothing changed at all.... Users still had the option to NOT put some of their notes online with Local Notebooks. That was a fair mix to me as I kept sensitive data locally only. With Local Notebooks gone, that means users **have** to put everthing online, and users cannot use any (serious) form of encryption. This is calling for troubles... I don't doubt that Evernote remains an ok solution (despite being much slower than it used to be) for people just clipping the web or tracking notes that are not critical. Users who don't fitting this profile may or not see it come but they are for a surprise sooner or later unless Evernote wakes up... I don't wish for troubles it but it is healthy for users to read between the lines of marketing and advocates and I perfer to be "gone" before issues happen.
  2. ...14 years and the last one was the cherry on top: Evernote force degraded my account from premium to personal while wanting to increase the price as well The perf keeps degrading (I could snap picture quicker with my old HTC Magic than Evernote new ++ web junk is doing with my Pixel 7 Pro...) there is still no (real) encryption... which is really scary (don't tell me about the gimmick symetric scrambling your call encryption) local notebooks are no longer a thing so users are at the mercy of the next breach user requests are ignored, where are all the requested fixes? backlinks? queries in notes? etc... recently I realized that ~20% (1910 / 10800 notes) of the data of my notes is gone and Support has no idea the answer from support was to provide the logs.... which provide TONS of private information... so either you provide private information or you get no support... great I would like to thank @ghonfor pointing out to Joplin, suprisingly I did not know about this option at the time and it ends up a much better option that keeps improving. The funny thing is that I would probably keep paying the sub if: the UIs did not became slow and sluggish The note snapping workflow would not have been broken to make it webified the local notebooks were still supported My 14 years with Evernote are over, and I don't feel sad... I feel finally relieved...
  3. I am glad EN fixed their commercial problems... on the back of a poor resulting technical solution that impact paying users daily... I am not saying a change was not required, I am saying the change they made was definitely not the right one. One of the main issue I see is that EN is NOT able to guaranty security (no E2E encryption). That means any data that is online is at risk. And the risk is real, there were breaches in the past and very likely some we never hear about.... At least, in the past, users could keep their confidential notes offline to mitigate this risk. This was a nice and fair solution. I find it unresponsible from EN to not solve the security issues and at the same time force users to put everything in its cloud (ie remove the local notebooks). I may be wrong but I am pretty sure local notebooks were dropped because it was difficult to handle from a web App. Security of the data should be #1 prio. Not shiny buttons, nor calendar integration, todos etc....
  4. Oh and the forum still sees me as Premium, nice....
  5. I have been premium user for 13 years... I loved the old versions of Evernote gladly paid for that. They were fast and to the point. The issue is that they never **improved**. Sure there were updates... but they did not **improve**. They became bloated and slower over time while missing the real features that should have been added. Evenote proudly mentioned they native App at the beginning... where are they now ? Surely web based App are more convenient to develop but the experience when it is not done well is horrible and this the state today with Evernote. Last year has been an horrible experience and I am still using Evernote 7 because I refuse the decision of Evernote to ditch local Notebooks. Remember those breaches ? may be not... Now Evenote shoot in every directions with calendars and todos no one really cares about where the main function: taking notes is more slugglish than ever.The experience was better on my HTC Magic in 2009 than it is today with a flagship phone.... Today I woke up with my Premium account desactivated and Evernote unilaterally cancelled my Premium subscription. I am lock out of my notes. This is the last drop for me, enjoy the last month of subscription you extort from me Evernote, I will be swithcing to another solution, likely Joplin. Not only they have the features Evenote lacks, but it is also open and there are tons of plugins making it wayyy better than Evernote. The product is also evolving very fast (technology wise).. unlike the Elefant (whose commercial departement is likely growing indeed)... It is sad seeing a company like Evernote makes such a mistake AND not being able to repair it despite users' feedback and patience.
