Your comment wrt evangelists.I have pretty tough skin, so it's not offensive to me. But as far as Evernote indexing your Dropbox files, I doubt that's on the radar for reasons mentioned above. WRT 'limited', some people have premium accounts & use the EN ability to add up to 4 extra gigs per month to add their files. I have no idea why you are posing this question to me. I can see the appeal of having your Dropbox index sync'ed to Evernote it would extend the reach of EN and further the agenda of being the first place you go for everything you need to remember in your life. To BurgersNFries why would someone want to use up a pretty limited amount of space in Evernote to attach files? Dropbox (and other similar service) are much better suited to the task. That being said, I know this isn't what Corey was requesting, but you always have the ability to add Dropbox links to Evernote's, which is handy if you need to reference something stored in Dropbox. Not to stray too off topic, but it seems like every time someone has a feature request or some sort of criticism toward Evernote, these so-called 'Evernote Evangelists' jump in and just question why someone would want EN to be any different than it currently is. Old topic I know, but I was recently searching for ways to integrate dropbox with Evernote and came across this thread.

As it is now, when you sync, EN is aware of any changes made to your database & what needs to be indexed. If you want any PDFs (if you have a premium account) or images you have in Dropbox indexed by EN, you're going to have to add them to Evernote.Īnother issue would be EN would have to constantly be monitoring what's in your Dropbox, in order to know what would need to be indexed.

Which means one thing they want EN users to do is utilize premium features such as more monthly upload & larger note sizes rather than farming it out to Dropbox. Especially since the only way EN makes any money is through their premium service. Attempting to index PDFs & images that are stored elsewhere would be a major change to the EN service & doubtful it would be very high on the priority list, if it's on the list at all. And it doesn't index any files that are not in the EN database in notebooks that are synced to the EN servers, since the indexing occurs on the EN servers. Additionally, Evernote doesn't index any files (attachments) other than PDFs (premium accounts only) & images.
