My Evernote account's sync became much more reliable once I started leaving the Windows desktop app running 24/7 starting in December 2022.Windows and Web) have been more reliable in syncing and stability over the past year than the iOS apps. For me using Evernote v10 on Windows, Web, iPad, and iPhone, I found that the desktop version (i.e.An automated and comprehensive local backup and restore feature would be better, especially for a professional level tool that I think Evernote is trying to be. In terms of backups, Evernote v10 can be okay but is not great. That leads me to an important point about backup and restore: some tools make this easier/more feasible than others. I've also experienced and heard of plenty of sync/data loss issues with Google Keep, and I've heard of such issues with Bear and Apple Notes (but not personally experienced, because I don't use them much). And as others have said, other notetaking apps can also do the same I think that pretty much every alternative has at least some people reporting data loss at times.Īlthough rarely, I've personally had data loss with all the notes apps I've seriously used (and still use): Evernote, OneNote, and Drafts (which uses iCloud to sync). No doubt, Evernote can and does occasionally lose data. I'm so sorry you have lost your deep work through Evernote. Always keep your own backups - one local copy and on a cloud so you can always recover your notes in the future no matter who fucks up.Īgain, I extend my deepest sympathies to you. Please do not completely trust any other cloud service either. Now instead of exporting an ENEX file, I export a JEX backup file every day. I recently abandoned Evernote Legacy and migrated all my notes to Joplin because I was informed by a very helpful user in this very subreddit that they may shut me out any time now. I used the legacy version of Evernote, and I would export the ENEX backup file once every day to two destinations: Which is why I never trusted Evernote or any other cloud service to keep them. I would be completely destroyed if my notes just disappeared. I consider it to be extremely precious, and it also serves as my way of venting to myself and dealing with my emotions without going to a therapist.

I'm not writing a novel or anything but I constantly make new notes every day documenting my thoughts about my life. This is my worst nightmare and I extend my deepest sympathies to you.
