I am doing a bunch of web clippings right now and the limit is impractical right now, i am not suggesting you raise is as it is a good limit not to high or low, but have it if you eceed the limit it does not upload to the server it just will sit on your computer and if there is more than your allowance sitting on your computer for more than a week or two do not let them continue using evernote and you may or may not upload it

Our monthly allowance for free users is now 60MB of new content each month. There’s no limit on the total size of your account.

40MB/month is really low for someone who’s starting in Evernote. It necc, maybe remove the limit and allow it to continue to work on the computer without uploading onto the server. After all, the biggest cost is the server and not necc. the evernote program. Just let us add stuff without uploading it/syncing it.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Hello Evernote-Team,

please consider a button to reset the monthly allowance for premium users. The button that only is clickable up when a user hits the red zone of his or her limits. The button the redirects to your payment site that charges a value XYZ to reset the allowance (one time fee).

I hit the 1 GB very quick as I am just moving in with a ton of scanned documents. I now calculated that it will take me 4 Month to move my stuff to the service even though I got it all right here now. I am willing to pay to reset each time in shorter intervals. please make something like this happen for all the hardcore users!

Best regards

Max

My people go into bondage for lack of knowledge. Thr main feature that drew me to Evernote was ability to search text within camera shots. But this feature quickly devoured the 40 meg alottment. Who knew going into this.

There needs to be more upfront information on exactly how this works. The more dischanted we are, less likely we will be very patient waiting for your service and for you to make up your mind.

Am I willing to pay $5 a month for a whopping 500 megs? You may be worth it but my notes aren’t.

Two vital features are missing from Evernote to really make it the best note app available.

1. The ability to add chapters/sections to notebooks – Working on a big project having hundreds of notes in a long list is not practical. But being able to use notebooks as the “main” container and then chapters/sections to specific areas within that project would make all the difference.

2. The upload limit is too low – I can’t grasp why the 500mb upload limit hasn’t been changed in over two years! People complained about it two years ago and still nothing has happend – Powerusers need more than 500mb upload.

A few other features such as being able to draw directly in a note, ability to drag lines from an image to text in a note etc would be awesome.

I don’t expect a free service to be generous with storage, but I am dismayed that a deleted note is still counted as part of my 40 MB. I used less than 15 mobile snapshots, and half my monthly allotment was gone. Speaking as someone who uses a service free before deciding to commit to the paid version, I am very disappointed.

What a brilliant system! Limits on new uploads but no limits on lifetime storage!!!
Save the trouble of reviewing & deleting old notes in order to free up the space…

addendum to the issue: it seems to me, the mac os x client counts the content of the local trash when calculates the monthly allowance. (If you empty the trash the monthly usage displays the real value.) I hope it helps.

I think everyone here agrees that Evernote is an excellent Product. I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. I paid for the upgrade with pleasure. I was disappointed with how quickly I ran out of Megabytes in my first day of use. Please Please offer different plans with different prices. I am always willing to pay for an excellent product. Don’t worry about all the people that complain about a FREE service. Please concentrate on us folk that need this service and are willing to pay for it.

@kevin hansen You got it. There’s no cap on how much old content you can have in Evernote. The only restriction is on how much new content you can add in a given month.

From the question/answer below, does this mean that after 10 years, a user of evernote, will have 5760mg of allowance?

How much do I get?
All free accounts are set to 40 megabytes per month. At the start of each month, your allowance is reset and you get a fresh forty. This means that if you max out your account every month, you’ll have 480MB of notes at the end of the year.

I’m a premium subscriber and have used all of my monthly allowance of 500Mb. Is it possible to purchase more “bandwidth” so I can continue to upload more notes?

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.
