- al2o3cr 12y agoSyncing via Dropbox sorta shoots the whole "no 3rd-party server dependencies" idea...
- Inufu 12y agoNot necessarily - the main reason why I don't want to store my notes with Evernote is because I want to be able to use them in 50 years, not because I'm opposed to sync them with a 3rd party server.
- yid 12y agoI have the same requirement for my notes. Looks like Laverna stores notes on Dropbox in JSON, which is fantastic.
- dunham 12y agoI won't touch Microsoft OneNote for this reason, but for me Evernote handles the "use them in 50 years" issue (at least on OSX). All of the notes are stored on disk as html files and images, viewable with any web browser, one directory per note. On osx, they are found in: ~/Library/Application Support/Evernote/accounts/Evernote/USERNAME/content for the web version of Evernote or ~/Library/Containers/com.evernote.Evernote/Data/Library/Application Support/Evernote/accounts/Evernote/USERNAME/content for the AppStore version. (AppStore apps get their own mini-filesystem.) You should be able to back this up and use it at any time in the future without Evernote. You do have to make sure you regularly sync and backup though. Edit: I would like to add that I like the idea of using markdown, however. Evernote docs often contain undesired baggage from the original clipped html.
- emsy 12y agoMainly because I'd have to create a Dropbox account just for notes and also because I'm a heavy notes user and don't want to depend upon a proprietary vendor for syncing (SyncStorage is better in that regard).
