I also had used Dropbox extensively, and wondered why I also needed Dropbox. I shared your concerns, but have had no problems. I don't think I can use Evernote if these syncing issues continue. It always syncs flawlessly and I don't even think about that part of it anymore. Are these syncing problems common? In the 2 years I've been using Dropbox, it has been rock solid. So now I have a new concern to add to my list above. I then went to the website and saw that the note I created on the iPad was there, but only the title, not the body! So I checked Evernote in 3 different places and my notes are in 3 different states.
#EVERNOTE VS DROPBOX PAPER MAC#
When I opened Evernote on my Mac it didn't show up at all. It appeared to sync, but the notes weren't the same as what I had on my Mac. I then opened up the iPad app and after logging in, it said there was some sync problem. I put in a number of notes, added some tags, etc. Dropbox goes out of business, I still have all my files sitting on my HD.Ģ) My data isn't locked into a proprietary database, so if I decide to move to another better service, there is nothing stopping me.Īre the features of Evernote good enough to overcome these two issues?Īfter posting my message, I decided to spend some time playing around with Evernote to see what it can do. I have a couple of things that are stopping me however.ġ) I like the fact that my Dropbox files are not dependent on the Dropbox service being around forever. It sounds like Evernote would be great for things like that. For example, throwing in an image in a file I'm working on. I also like the idea of being able to have richer formatting available than just plain text files give me. I like the idea of organizing things with tags. I'm intrigued by Evernote however and am considering switching to this tool. I also have various other file formats, Excel files, pdfs, etc.
Most of these are plain text files that I edit on my Mac, iPhone and iPad. For several years now I have used Dropbox for my reference files and project support material.
