brezanac 0 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I've started using Evernote about a month ago and right since the beginning I am facing two major issues. First of all, syncing seems to work really really dodgy between the desktop version on Windows [6.17.6.8292 (308292) Public (CE Build ce-62.1.7539)] and the web version. Even worse I haven't managed to sync a single ink message between those two because whatever I'd make in my desktop app the web app would simply display as a missing image icon 😯 The second issue I am having is that I can't find the option to display notebook stacks in the web version so all my notebooks are basically displayed flat in the sidebar.

You may be using the beta web version, which doesn't have the full featureset. To downgrade to the previous version, use the menu next to your profile icon Link to comment
brezanac 0 Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 Ok the ink messages are now visible but notebook stacks are still nowhere to be seen and all the messages are just thrown into one big mess. EDIT: I've found out how to create stacks in the web version. Simple drag and drop, maybe not so intuitive as the Evernote UX designer thought But I still can't sync stacks between desktop and web.

Which web version? Don't use the beta, not full featured. Use either current or classic (not sure it will be available depending upon when you started with EN). You can make the choice on the web version under Account - Settings - Evernote Web. I have current set up and below is what I see. Don't use the web much IAC. Actually prefer classic version, more features. Link to comment
brezanac 0 Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 It's the classical version. Looks like Evernote just doesn't support syncing stacks between devices which ultimately makes it a really hard sell for me Link to comment
Level 5* CalS 5,280 Posted February 4, 2019 Level 5* Share Posted February 4, 2019 Maybe try the current version. Again, I don't use the web version much, but stacks do appear therein for me. With all the extra "air". Link to comment
brezanac 0 Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 Yes, stacks do appear however when I load the web version of Evernote it fails to sync the stacks I already have on desktop app. That's the real issue not that the web version doesn't support stacks. Because of the feature disparity across platforms, bugs and pretty bad experience in general I've had with Evernote I've decided to stop my subscription, just two weeks into my first month. It's not that I don't want to use it but in it's current state it doesn't work as supposed to nor provide the features I need Link to comment

Just added a notebook in stack on my desktop. It appears on the web. Seems to work for me, way I added the notebook anyway. 8 minutes ago, brezanac said: Because of the feature disparity across platforms, bugs and pretty bad experience in general I've had with Evernote I've decided to stop my subscription, just two weeks into my first month.

Good luck in finding something that fits better. Link to comment

Stacks are working for me. Mac Safari Web, Mac, IOS. Updates are sync'd both ways. fwiw Evernote web is direct access to the master data on servers; there is no intermediate storage. Link to comment
