e60m5 0 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I am trying to find out how much total storage space my Evernote account is using. For some reason, it does not appear in any profile, statistics, etc., lists. You would think this would be easy to find but I have looked in every conceivable place, and even searched the support database. Link to comment
Level 5* CalS 5,280 Posted November 4, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted November 4, 2016 You don't mention what platform, but if Windows go to Tools - Options - General and click on Open Database folder. The file with an EXB extension should approximate the size of your EN data base. Link to comment
e60m5 0 Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 Thanks. I have a Mac (macOS 10.11.6). There is a folder in ~/Library/Application Support/com.evernote.Evernote, but it is hard to tell from the filenames exactly what is content, what is metadata, and what is duplicated. The entire forlder is about 300MB, so that is an approximate upper bound, assuming Evernote is not keeping some things elsewhere. Ideally the app would just tell you how much space you are using on EN's cloud servers. They seem to go out of the way to obscure the information. Link to comment

If you click on About Evernote and press the Option key, you'll get a link to your database folder You can get the size of the database on your Mac This should be complete, unless you have local notebooks on other computers. I have two accounts 1.86GB and 5.76GB The database for each account is under a number folder for example 123456 Space used on the servers would be similar, but not include local notebooks So it could be less space; however for me, the important number is the space taken up on my computer Link to comment

helene.leff@gmail.com 0 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 it says I have monthly storage, but the month has passed and it won't let me add anymore notes - why bother with a program that is "free" and then say you can't add anything to it unless you upgrade - now I have all this stuff on evernote, and can't add anything more -so I want to take what I saved and save it to something that lets me add more without charging me money - what am I missing in not getting a monthly upload allotment in basic - does one get it, and I'm not understanding how to access it or does not get it and I'm misunderstand - monthly upload allotment in basic?

One does get the monthly allotment and it resets every month. On the web version of EN go to Account Settings - Account Summary and you should see the usage you have remaining and the number of days to the reset. Link to comment

All account levels have monthly maximum limits on upload - no limit on storage You can use local notebooks if you don't want to upload your data. Link to comment

By selecting notes, I can see at the top of the Note panel that my 3,000+ notes is well below the maximum. Link to comment

Is all data, including the notes inside that even important settings? (I have not scattered / stored local notes on different macs).... I guess this is the right folder? (the size is 700 MB) file:///Users/sm/Library/Containers/com.evernote.Evernote/Data/Library/Application Support/com.evernote.Evernote I was not able to opion click for the info on "About Evernote"...... but the main thing is to know the excact location of the one important folder (to do a correct backup)?

This is your complete database folder, all your data is in there. You can use this for backups but make sure you know how to work with it; it's not a simple process. Link to comment
mangoguru 1 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Ok. Thanks. In order to restore a backup all there is to it I guess is to replace that folder with the backed up folder? I guess you meant it is not easy to extract single notes? Link to comment

The master version of your data is stored on the Evernote servers, and sync'd with your devices. You have a data copy on your Mac, and yes, you can restore that folder. When you run a sync, the data will be updated from the server, undoing the restore. Before you run the sync, you need to capture any notes you want to save. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,103 Posted April 10, 2019 Level 5 Share Posted April 10, 2019 On upload limits: EN treats any changes to existing notes as new uploads. So if you’re on BASIC, open a note in the client, put only one blank in or out, and close it again, the full size of this note is discounted from your monthly limit. This can eat up the allowance pretty fast, especially if the notes are larger. No workaround if using a local client. I think you do not loose anything when working through the web browser client, because then you stay on the cloud DB. Link to comment
MatS14 19 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I don't have the Evernote App, but Safari app would do same, screenshot to explain: Link to comment
