ancil 0 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Greetings, I have a Mac, updated software and all. When I tried to open Evernote I get an alert that the file is damaged and I need to delete and re download from Mac Store. Before I do that I can't remember if I have local files or not. Is the process as easy as taking the old evernote out of application folder and redownloading? Will old/local notes still be on the computer? Thank you Link to comment

ancil 0 Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Ok thanks but where are the notes? I do use time machine for back up but do not know where the normal evernote would store the local files. Link to comment

If you're interested in the database folder location Option Help > Troubleshooting > Open Database Folder No special location for Local Notebooks; the notes are just part of the database >>I do use time machine for back up but do not know where the normal evernote would store the local files. I wouldn't rely on a TM backup. Do a separate export for each notebook Link to comment
ancil 0 Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Hmmm I was able to redownload the app from MacStore, I did find old local notes however your screen looks different than mine. I do not have that Troubleshooting screen. Is there a reason for that? My screen grab below. I do back up individual local thru export but wasn't sure how long ago. Thank you for the help!
