User Case: How Do I Export from Evernote to Google Drive?

 

Copy all Evernote notes to Google Drive?

I am trying to figure out the easiest way to get all of my existing Evernote Notes into Google Drive. I can see how to export, but it seems that just saves either html files or an .enex backup file, not all the individual notes separately and readable by Drive. I am sure there is a simple way to do this, but I am not seeing it. Thanks for any help! --- https://discussion.evernote.com/

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.

  • Organizational Flexibility: Google Drive allows for a more versatile organization of notes with folders and files.
  • Integration with Google Ecosystem: Seamless integration with other Google services like Docs, Sheets, and Gmail.
  • Collaboration: Easy sharing and collaboration on documents with others in real-time.
  • Storage: Google Drive often provides more free storage space compared to Evernote for storing various types of files.

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 Way to Transfer Evernote to Google Drive

Step 2. Log in to Evernote and select "All Notes" from the left sidebar. Then, choose "Export Notes" from the "File" menu.

Note: You can also export 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 to Folder..." button on the right side.
  • Step 2. Choose a folder on your computer or hard drive to save the files to.

Step 3. Select the export location and format. 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 can 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:

Step 4. After the download is completed, find the location of the file. Log in to the Google Drive web page, and then select the corresponding data to upload to Google Drive.

Note: If you are using the Google Drive computer client, you can also set the above export location directly to a folder in Google Drive.
