Why Transfer Evernote to Google Drive?

Evernote is an efficient tool for taking, editing and sharing notes. For users who have high requirements for taking notes, Evernote is a good choice. Evernote’s built-in Web Clipper tool allows you to clip anything from the web super easily, and the audio recording tool is perfect for when you want to record an idea and revisit it later.

Google Drive is more like a storage tool, and its integrated tool, Google Keep, can help you easily store note data. And, if you're working in a team, Google Drive may offer an advantage. After easily adding team members to a project or assignment, you can not only restore the document to an older version, but also see which collaborators made which changes to the document.

Relatively speaking, Google Drive is smarter than Evernote. After you transfer your notes to Google Drive, you can find your data faster with the smart search provided by Google Drive. In addition, Google Drive will provide a clearer folder hierarchy, which is more conducive to your note management. What's more, you get up to 15GB of free storage space in Google Drive, enough to store a lot of data in the cloud.

Common Ways to Transfer Evernote to Google Drive

When you export from Evernote to Google Drive with Evernote built-in feature, you can copy the attachment in its native format and then upload to Google Drive, or you can export as HTML files or an “.enml” backup file.

Solution 1. Export Evernote Attachment

You can either export all attachments for all notes, or do it on a notebook-by-notebook basis if you want to keep your structure.

Step 1. Highlight the Notes, click the Save Attachments button on the right side.

Step 2. Choose a folder on computer or hard drive to save the files to.

Step 3. Upload these files to Google Drive.

Solution 2. Export All Notes or A Specific Note\Notebook

When you export all notes or a specific note\notebook, you have two options for exporting: HTML or Evernote XML Format (.enml).

1. Export as HTML

Evernote will create an HTML file (basically a web page you can view on your computer) for each note. If the note has attachments, there is a “.resources” folder where the attachments live.

2. Export as Evernote XML

If you choose Evernote XML, you could get one big XML file. However, if you don’t understand XML, this method does not help you much, although it does retain all your notes, tags, and data for import into Evernote or other applications. 

When you simply back up Evernote to Google Drive or move Evernote data to other systems, this method can help you back up related data. Here’s an example of what the file looks like if we open it up:
