Damaged Evernote File on Mac


Recommended Posts

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

Reinstalling the app will not impact the database

However, anyone with Local Notebooks should have backups in place.  This data is not backed up or protected by Evernote

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.

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 wouldn't rely on a TM backup.  
Do a separate export 
for each notebook

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!
