My account status has been “0 days left” for 2 days. Why was it not reset?

40 MB is a lot for a FREE service! Thank you for such a great product and the opportunity to use it.

This limit even for paid versions is very disappointing.
The concept is great. The usability really good. But why, oh why, talk in megs when the average user is getting terabyte drives?
I’ll try the service but will most probably stop using it for I can’t live with the idea of hitting a ceiling and not being able to do anything about it.

I use Evernote primarily for organizing material for a highly complex nonfiction manuscript with tons and tons of background information I need to be able to summon at will, and I run up against the 500 MB limit pretty quickly in each cycle. My only solution thus far is to load lower priority docs into a local folder and then add it to a synchronized folder later if there happens to be room. About 1 GB per month would be ideal for my purposes. REALLY hope there might soon be an increase in capacity.

@Nanette That’s odd. Please contact our support team for help: http://s.evernote.com/support

Evernote for Mac reports that after one day of use for the current month’s allotment and 8 short recipes clipped that I have used 20.5MB of my monthly allotment. Evernote Web client reports that I have used 120KB, which is more believable. How do I reconcile these two?

I am just beginning to use Evernote and I like the idea but I think 40Mb monthly upload is going to put me off using it for real.

I really want to use it, but 40MB is to low for me. If you look around many services offer gigs+, so 40MB in 2009 is so……

But the rest is great!

I have no problem with 40Mb as a trial. Even saving 150 dpi PDFs, for example, this should give you about 100 pages to test the service with.

I do, however, think you should have me tiers of service. 500Mb is probably adequate for a small office, but for higher volume use, like a law office for example, 1 or 2Gb per month may be more feasible.

Also, another suggestion is to have the ability to create multiple logins per account and different access privileges. That way an admin user could add and edit documents, and a standard user could read only.

One other thing I’d like to see: sub-notebooks (maybe you can call them chapters). Other document processing apps I’ve used like SOHO Notes have this ability.

With the iPhone and cross platform capabilities, Evernote has marvelous potential for small business document management.

I’ve found that you can save the pdf back to your computer and have them all visionable.

I really like this app!!

why if I import a pdf with more then 20-22 pages, Evernote save it, display it but cuts all the pages after?!?
I haven’t read it anywhere..
and.. what happens if I uninstall evernote? do I loose all my documents?
I’ve Leopard..

I’ve stumbled upon this service awhile back, and had meant to try it out. Is there a one time transfer plan so I could move everything I had from other services, namely Google Notebook, to Evernote? I’m not sure if the 40mb limit is going to hold for that first and one time transfer. It would be quiet painful if I have to take 2, 3, 4 months to transfer, and have a frozen account for the rest of the months.

Could you guys draft up a transfer plan of some sort for first time user to move their notes from old services? That would be greatly appreciated. =D

Why not a Linux version?? You are loosing many potential users (like me) by ignoring the Linux platform. Shame on you!

@mr-sk I put a lot of PDFs in Evernote too, many of them scanned pages. I’m now holding them on my hard drive (and backing up to JungleDisk) until such time that my Evernote Quota is increased.

I use evernote for research. I store lots, LOTS of pdfs in it. 40mb isn’t enough. 500mb/m is a little better, but 500mb total is still not enough. I’d feel safe with a few gigs.

It makes me wonder how your searching feature will work on large sets of data, if your so concerned with 40mb.

I was wondering if you guys were going to add video support to the service. I know that is one thing I REALLY wish I had. Possibly going to be in the upgraded service? or is i possible and I am not aware of it?

By: Willie

Willie — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 20:49:20 +0000

I don’t really have a problem with this as long as the notes I add after I have run out of quota will be uploaded in the beginning of the month, as soon as I get more. Will this be the way it works?

I think this is a great solution, managing the trade-offs quite nicely. I really hope you guys can start charging for this product soon so you can make some money. I am addicted to Evernote and my only fear is that you guys won’t be able to keep things running.

I can´t see the storage status on my desktop version, even when it says it´s updated… where can I find that bar? I can´t see it neither on web´s version. BTW, I stick with those who think 40 MB is not enough, now I have to really think what am I going to upload and how heavy it is… Makes me paranoid. Please, I carry 90 GB daily just in my trousers pockets…

I only hope that premium pricing is a) put into place soon as I will run out within a week or two otherwise and b) that is is affordable.

[...] 刚刚更新了Evernote，发现菜单栏多了点东西，点了一下发现是显示储存在everynote网站的内容，但是怎么一下子减少到40MB了，记得以前是200MB啊。仔细一看，原来是容量限制从之前的总量限制，变成了每月同步容量限制，Evernote的blog发布了这次更新容量变化消息。跟Flickr类似，再也不用担心是否会超过总容量的限制，要不要删除以往的资料了，而是只要一个月之内不超过40MB，就可以一直用下去。如果不储存音频文件和大的图片文件，40MB是几乎用不完的。 [...]

I understand how these things go, so I won’t make a comment that would be an overreaction to this. I know you guys are figuring things out, and I am sure that you will find a nice middle ground between the premium accounts and the free lunch crowd.

Since I plan on paying for future use of this, my only concern is that all the noise from the above, who may or may not be future customers, doesn’t distract you all from getting the premium stuff in place.

My only comment is that having the “meter” in such a large conspicuous place in the UI is both distracting and unnecessary.

Thanks for you work so far. Waiting for more good stuff to come.
