Hi PinkElephant,
Not sure if it was a Chrome thing, but right after I submitted this topic, I logged into Safari (latest version) and it was perfectly synced. I allowed Chrome to keep spinning.
When I logged in today to check the settings you mention above, the Chrome Evernote was also perfectly synced! You have the right touch.
and...when I "check for updates" on my client, it says I'm up to date but I'm at 10.25.6 🥴
Thanks for the reply!
