miro.marvel 0 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Is it possible to use Evernote app and store everything there, so the information stays only on my computer and Evernote corporation or any other ogranisation won't be able to read or use my notes? Also if it's totally fine to do that how can I use the Web Clipper to store only on desktop app and not on the web. Is it possible to sync Desktop and Phone apps using End-to-end encryption via Nextcloud or Dropbox. And all in all can I be sure that I will have privacy level of Evernote to be like Joplin?

Yes. See Local Notebooks. You will have to connect online to log in and create the account, but you can limit what Evernote sees. Web Clipper however clips to the server, not to your local device. You could use copy and paste instead. On 2/24/2019 at 8:42 AM, miro.marvel said: and Evernote corporation or any other ogranisation won't be able to read or use my notes? Er, you're connected to the World Wide Web. No-one can guarantee that your information is totally private.

But I do use local notebooks and keep some information in local files off the internet entirely. I even have a few paper files! Link to comment

Make sure you back up your data. Link to comment
Level 5* EdH 1,670 Posted February 26, 2019 Level 5* Share Posted February 26, 2019 Note that if you use local notebooks exclusively you will lose some features. Evernote servers are what index file contents and do OCR for pdf files and images allowing you to search. Given your asks above, I don’t think Evernote is right for you. Perhaps notepad files via Dropbox or something similar? Link to comment

Thanks...looks like Evernote can be private, but it can't sync privately/securely with other devices. 18 hours ago, gazumped said: Er, you're connected to the World Wide Web.

Yes but we can make it harder or at least not so easily to be accessed let's say via request to Evernote from goverment. 18 hours ago, gazumped said: No idea what guarantees of privacy Joplin provide https://www.privacytools.io/#notebook Open-source, encrypted and made not to be tied with an organization. Made from a man who didn't like the new Evernote pricing model... I want it because of being open-sorce and because I want to use Linux(I know I can use Evernote, but still...). Link to comment
Level 5* EdH 1,670 Posted February 26, 2019 Level 5* Share Posted February 26, 2019 The only way you will have a secure model that the government cannot access is if you use a tool that lets you generate your own keys. Evernote does not allow this for personal account. It might for business. I don't recall. All of your data is encrypted at rest on the servers, but Evernote does have the keys. Any cloud service you use where you are encrypting data but not generating your own keys can be unlocked by the hosting company if necessary. Link to comment
