Are you worried about having a backup of your Evernote in a safe place? We can understand that. Here’s a way to keep a copy of all your Evernote notes continuously backed up to your Google Drive.
All your notes will be converted to read/write, fully-searchable Google Docs, making them easily available and backed up.
If you stay under Google’s 15GB limit, you can do this without a premium plan. And there is no two-device limit (as there will be for Evernote’s new free plan).
The process takes about three minutes.
If you stay with the free versions of Evernote and Google Drive, there is no cost to migrate your data or use the service.
It is the easiest way to keep all your notes in another service like Google Drive while maintaining full access to all the data you have in Evernote today.
Here’s how to do it:
First, Drop to 2 Devices in Evernote
Before you do anything, if you’re keeping a free Evernote plan, you’ll need to de-authorize all but two of your devices.
In Evernote, go to your account settings page, then click “Devices” in the upper left corner.
Then revoke access for your devices until you have two left:
Next, Sync Evernote to Google Drive in Under 1 Minute
Here’s how to sync Evernote to Google Drive.
