The answer is, “Yes, darn it!” I give such a response, Justin, because in spite of my best efforts to transition to the Apple Notes app following David Pogue’s lead, with over 5K in notes, the darn thing is TOO SLOW. Over all, a straightforward mguhlin Are you still an avid evernote user? How has it benefited you as a Tech Director? If I was doing this again, I’d probably following this sequence:ġ) Select the app you want because it will create a folder on Dropbox where your files will be stored, although with the right text editor, you can just point it at any directory you want.Ģ) Run the Exporter and save the files to the appropriate Dropbox directory.

So, what’s your exit strategy? Since I archive old emails, it’s important for them to be searchable…saving them all in Evernote or Apple Notes wasn’t a good idea, as I discovered.
