When drag and drop doesn’t work, you might think you could use the share sheet.I have hundreds of PDF attachments in Evernote. Which is fine if you only want to drag a couple of items. If you can open the note and drag the attachment itself, it will come across no problem.
If you try dragging a note with an attachment, you will get the title and nothing else.That might be fine for text only notes, but everything else is lost. Others, like DEVONthink, will allow you to drop the note, but will strip all the formatting. If you try to drag notes, some apps like Apple Notes, will refuse the transfer when you try to drop them. Notes in Evernote are stored in a proprietary rich text format.If you try to transfer directly from Evernote, these are some of the frustrations you will encounter: Unfortunately, it’s not as simple as dragging all your notes from one place to another. You can bring drag and drop come into play, it just won’t solve the problem on its own. The arrival of drag and drop had me wondering if we could simply drag the notes across to another app. Reading on, you might also want to delimit different data types, such as text, PDFs, and images. I would pay special attention to the data you consider most important in Evernote, either tag it as such, or place it in a specific notebook.
It is worth considering these potential stumbling blocks before you do it. Some advice out there will have you believe otherwise, but you can migrate your data without having to do it one note at a time. I’ll admit I’m fortunate I could use a Mac to do this, but it’s not quite as difficult on iOS as it once was. DEVONthink is the endpoint in this case, but the process can easily be adapted for apps like Notebooks, Bear, or even Apple Notes. What follows are some options for iOS only users wanting to export all Evernote data. Managing this process without a Mac, on the other hand, requires more creative thinking. The most simple and clean being a direct transfer within DEVONthink Pro itself. Whether you want to go all in with DEVONthink, or you have in mind another app, the question is how to migrate Evernote data to another iOS app. To follow that up, I promised some options for iOS users wanting to leave Evernote, and bring their data with them.
A few days back I posted a fairly detailed introduction to DEVONthink to Go for iOS.
