Mayerovitch 5 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I have the free Evernote account; I am running Mavericks on my iMac and iOS 7 on my iPad and iPhone. I haven't been able to find a clear explanation of where my data is stored and where it is not stored. I understand that all my notes are permanently stored (unless I delete them) on the Evernote servers and that I can access them through my browser if I want to. But: (1) Using the Evernote desktop app on my iMac, I seem to be able to access my notes very quickly, which suggests that copies of all my notes are also stored on my hard drive, updated when I sync, and where I can access them even when I am not connected to the Internet. Is this correct? (2) When I access notes from my mobile device they must be downloaded from the Evernote servers. Does this mean that they are only stored temporarily on my mobile device while I am viewing or editing them? When do these temporary copies disappear from the memory of my mobile device? (3) I understand that the Premium account will allow me to maintain copies of all my notes on my mobile devices at all times so that I can access them even when I am not connected to the Internet. Is this correct? It would be helpful to have this information clearly presented on the Evernote support site. Perhaps it is; I haven't been able to find it. In the meantime, can anybody provide answers to these questions? Thanks. Link to comment

Local StorageThe Evernote data is stored in three possible locations:http://www.christopher-mayo.com/?p=135In addition, there is some in CoreData. I haven't figured out exactly what it is doing there, though. At any rate, what you are asking is important to know, and I wish Evernote made it more clear. The data on desktops is automatically downloaded and stored on your local drive, which gives you complete control over your data -- a big point in Evernote's favor, in my opinion. 2. MobileStored data disappears occasionally when your device clears the cache. You do not know when this will happen, so you need to be connected to the Internet all of the time if you want to access your data on a Free account.3. Mobile offlineYes. Premium users can designate notebooks for offline use. Link to comment

WritersQueen 0 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I was recently in the bowels of a warehouse store and unable to access my shopping list on my iPhone because I had no Internet connection. Is there a way to have the data local on the iPhone at this time? Link to comment

Is there a way to have the data local on the iPhone at this time? Sure. Premium accounts can designate specific notebooks on their mobile devices as offline notebooks. Once synced, the note contents will be available on the device. Link to comment
Joseph brook 0 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Why isn't this simple? The point of evernote is so you can confidently save important documents isn't it? So what the heck have you got to do find them? Shouldn't you be able to login to your account and see them online? It's like you put them in a safe spot that you don't know where is. Link to comment

It's like you put them in a safe spot that you don't know where is. It is that simple, as long as you have an Internet connection. If you think you may not have a connection when you are accessing your notes, the offline notebooks option is available. But assuming you have a connection, login and see them. Link to comment
