Evernote Web Update: Share Notebooks on Facebook, New Gmail Connection and More

Product updates | By Andrew Sinkov

Over the past several months, we’ve made sharing your favorite notes with family, friends and colleagues much easier. With today’s Evernote Web update, we’re giving you a lot of new and improved ways to share stuff with your network of friends and family. You can now share notebooks via Facebook, enjoy simplified sharing over email, a new Gmail connection and more.

Sign into Evernote Web to try out these new features »

NEW: ‘Connected Services’ Settings Tab

Evernote Web now has a new tab in settings called Connected Services. Go there to connect your Evernote account to Facebook and Gmail. Here’s what these new connections let you do.

Share Notebooks on Facebook

Once you’ve connected your Evernote account to your Facebook account, a new checkbox will show up when you share a notebook with the world: Share on Facebook. After checking the button and clicking Save, the notebook, along with the description, will instantly appear on your Facebook Wall. Anyone that can view your Wall will be able to click the link and view the notebook.

If you have a notebook that you have previously shared that you’d like to share with your Facebook friends, then go to the Sharing options for that notebook and you’ll see a Post to Facebook button in the Share with the World section. Clicking that button will take you through a standard Facebook sharing process.

Email autocomplete with Gmail

Connecting Evernote to your Gmail account makes the process of sharing notes with people you know much faster. When you begin typing the email addresses of friends, coworkers and classmates, the Gmail connection will autocomplete the addresses, so you’ll no longer have to cross-check email addresses with your inbox or standalone address book.

The same autocomplete functionality will also show up when you invite a friend to try Evernote. If you haven’t invited a friend, do it now.

Coming soon to more places

We’re continually looking for new ways to help you get more out of Evernote. Helping you easily share your memories is a big part of that plan. Today, we’ve added these features to Evernote Web. Soon, they’ll be coming to other versions of Evernote. Stay tuned for this and much more.

    Hi , try using Study Blue it can be really helpful for students as it also syncs with Evernote

    Sharing within Evernote: like said so many time above, small groups, housemates and study teams that can share right inside of Evernote. often as simple as a grocery checklist or task list and as intuitive as sharing a spreadsheet or documents (we are signing up for Premium) – w/o then having to go into FB.

    I’m confused. Does it only work with the web version? When I try to email a note from the PC version, it still doesn’t show the list of email addresses in my gmail account (which is linked with my outlook account).

    To me, Facebook sharing represents a diversion or beginning of diversion from what I was hoping was Evernote’s basic philosophy and core function.

    I know, I know, a zillion people wanted it.

    I would greatly appreciate a button to hide the Facebook option.

    Can we link our Evernote Group account to our company Facebook Page? We would like the ability for anyone in our company to be able to publish a note to our company’s Facebook Page.

    Is that possible? If so, how?

    Thanks!

      Mark, you can use the “Share via Email” feature to post to your company Facebook Page. Have the owner of the Company Facebook page login to receive the upload email. You can learn more here: http://www.facebook.com/mobile/#

    can we get auto complete of email addresses from gmail contacts to work when sharing individual notes?

    Have you guys removed sharing between other Evernote users? I can’t seem to share my notebooks anymore :(
