Windows Offline Mode

[NickS 1]

While Evernote works great when using the Windows client and an Internet connection, when my laptop is connected to a network WITHOUT an Internet connection there are delays of 10-15 seconds when attempting to load notes before it eventually times out. It would be useful to explicitly set it to offline mode to prevent these timeouts.

 

Looking at the current offering this isn't possible.

Hi.  Does your laptop not have a local database?  Evernote > Tools > Options > General and scroll to 'local files'.  AFAIK it should open normally with or without a network connection.

It does! Just to clarify, it can work offline fine (no network connection), though Evernote gets confused if it has a network connection (plugged into a LAN) though that network can't reach the Internet.

As a result, when I try to search Evernote or load notes it takes a number of seconds to do so. Having an explicit offline to force Evernote into offline mode should resolve that.

Thanks, I'll see if blocking it at the firewall helps in the short term.
