benmc 85 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Back in September, we announced that Evernote would be migrating to a modern, cloud infrastructure. We lost no time in getting started. Just one month after the announcement, we were already moving data to the Google Cloud Platform. We’re excited to announce that Evernote has successfully migrated our service to the cloud, and accomplished this with minimal impact on our customers. Read more in our blog posts and join us on this thread for questions. https://blog.evernote.com/blog/2017/02/08/evernote-reaches-the-cloud https://blog.evernote.com/tech/2017/02/08/part-1-evernote-…oud-platform-gcp/ https://blog.evernote.com/tech/2017/02/08/part-2-protectin…ustomer-data-gcp/ https://blog.evernote.com/tech/2017/02/08/part-3-evernote-…l-transformation/ https://blog.evernote.com/tech/2017/02/08/part-4-planning-…cuting-migration/ https://blog.evernote.com/tech/2017/02/08/part-5-conclusion-future/ Note: if you're new to our forums and would like to join the discussion, click "Sign In" at the top right, enter your Evernote account info, select a Display Name and you're all set.

jram 2 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Now to get Chrome to behave properly so notebooks and notes don't disappear when scrolling, and also highlight feature with Evernote Web - So Basic but it's not there. Link to comment
Level 5* JMichaelTX 4,117 Posted February 9, 2017 Level 5* Share Posted February 9, 2017 Thanks for sharing all the details in your blogs. Moving to Google Cloud Platform sure looks like a smart move with lot of benefits to both Evernote and your customers. I noted with interest your discussion about "encryption at rest". Many of us would very much like it if you would go to the next level and provide us with zero key encryption of our Notes on a per Notebook basis. Link to comment
RyanMercer 0 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 3 petabytes in 70 days. That's about 4.58 Gbit/s assuming 10% overhead, wish I had that connection! Link to comment
rockyhatt 0 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 This is great about Evernote. But I still would like to be able to share a notes context, not just a link, to another app on my Android phone. Now everything should be safe untill I expire. Link to comment

Tinman_226 7 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Possibly coincidence, but sync seems to be waaaaaaaaaay faster over here in Germany. Link to comment
Ricky 11 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Good move doing this. Recently I noticed that sync is running smoother. Now hopefully this will give your team the opportunity to be faster with updates and new features for Windows and Android. Link to comment
annaEVER 14 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 @benmc How about addressing the problems so many of us are experiencing now - Unable to access via Chrome, incorrect loading via Firefox - (cannot load only notes from selected notebook). And how about posting a note that is immediately accessible to all users that there's a problem, you're working on it and a fix is expected in * hours/days. I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with the company's poor response to this issue. Link to comment

I would check there to bypass any device problems The usual cause of an empty account is that you've accidently created a new account; it's easy to do.

I freaked out bc all of my work notes are there. I see my notes in the app, but now I cannot even get Evernote to pull up at all. Is there a solution for me to open Evernote and find my notes on desktop version? Thank you! Mary Link to comment

[ SNIP ] Many of us would very much like it if you would go to the next level and provide us with zero key encryption of our Notes on a per Notebook basis. I'm a bit intrigued by "encryption at rest". Does this mean that Google, a company which has a pretty relaxed attitude to privacy, is unable to scan our notes for profiling purposes? I too would like EN to adopt full end to end encryption of notes, possibly on an individual notebook basis or even on an account basis. That would be a real selling point compared to the competition.

TomAshworth 3 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 This is excellent and shows Evernote is moving forward. I would like to merge notes on IOS so I am hoping this might happen one day. Link to comment

Old news, and there are other discussions expressing the same GooglePhobia Google Cloud services does not have a "relaxed attitude to privacy" We've been assured the Evernote data is segregated and is not being scanned Not to add to the paranoia but you might want to consider who's holding the encryption keys; hint - not Evernote Link to comment
Dan Wilson 85 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 This is an interesting development for Evernote. I read (not so long ago) about how Dropbox migrated their data storage out of Amazon into their own data storage that they built from scratch. Interesting that different companies have moved in opposite directions and both for very good reasons. I am excited to see what the future holds for Evernote. Evernote + Google both great companies. Whilst not a merger, this is a "marriage" made in heaven. Perhaps we will shortly see some more advances made with the labs apps? Link to comment

Low said: Quote We've been assured the Evernote data is segregated and is not being scanned That's good to know Quote you might want to consider who's holding the encryption keys; hint - not Evernote I do accept I can use the desktop client to encrypt text in an individual note without EN holding the keys, but who holds the encryption keys to everything else? I can't see anything in the Blog which says anyone other than Google, although since it is pretty technical I am happy to accept I may be missing something. Link to comment

I should have been clearer. Encryption at rest is a good thing, it's just that Google is holding the encryption key. It's a small point, and I'm still not concerned about privacy. For data I want secure, I use my own encryption (encrypted PDFs). Evernote has a text encryption feature, but I don't want to be locked in Link to comment
naturestimeline 0 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I've had issues with duplicated tagging ever since the 8th February and I have an open ticket on the problems, ten days old now. Could my problems be related to moving to the cloud or could you at least look into this aspect as the recent blog about this was dated 08 Feb 2017. Coincidence or not? Link to comment
Level 5* EdH 1,670 Posted February 28, 2017 Level 5* Share Posted February 28, 2017 Thankful today it wasn't migrated to Amazon AWS. But, I suppose if someone at Google gets their routing tables scrambled, we'd see the same thing impact Evernote. Link to comment
Bill Drissel 2 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I'm a daily user of Evernote ... and a long time user at that. I never noticed any interruption, delay or any other hiccup. I've never lost a note even from occasional intermittent Inet connections. Bravo, Bill Drissel Frisco, TX Link to comment
