Moving files from Evernote to Desktop

Recommended Posts

I copied about five files into a evernote.  Each file contained key encrypted information.  For example, passwords I use, or account numbers etc.

When I tried to copy paste the information back into my windows computer, the paste option was not high lighted.  So I could not

move the file back into the computer for future use.  My only option is to delete the note and save the files in a system like dropbox.

Any suggestions are welcomed.

Assuming you are saying that your either drag/dropped or copy/pasted five files into a single EN note, you should be able to simply drag the file to the desktop from the EN note.  

 

It is a bit confusing as you reference copy/paste information and move the file at the same time in your post.  But if you mean strictly files, drag and drop should work.

What types of files were you using? They should have been maintained as attachments. In Windows, are you able to save them to disk via right-click / Save As... ?

Originally, I copied five encrypted files into a email and mailed it to my evernote email address.  Following the suggestions of people in response to my problem, I moved the note containing the five files to the shortcuts area by drag and drop.  I then unencrypted the material which I can now read or copy.  Originally, when I held the note with the five files in a single note there was a option to copy or cut, but you could not past into the computer.  Thanks for all the help, the drag and drop worked just fine.  Also, I have key materials saved in encrypeted form in dropbox, but I was testing how I could save critical encrypted material in Evernote for the future.  This system of copying material and mailing to evernote worked very well
