To be exact, the estimate on sync time is a bit over 2 days for that volume of notes. Now this is going to take a while, if (like me) you have literally thousands of notes in your Evernote account. The process is very simple once you sign up for a free trial, you merely need to link your Google and Evernote accounts and allow Cloud HQ access to both, then sync them. Free trial, long term the account setup will not be free) way to migrate all of my notes from Evernote to Google Drive and it’s from a company called Cloud HQ. But what really worried me was the nearly 4000 notes in Evernote that I really didn’t want to be separated from my current workflow so I went looking for options and found a really simple, easy and free** (nb. Moving the workflow really wasn’t an issue at all, I stopped using Evernote as a primary and started using Drive (Docs and Sheets mainly) for my writing and documents, Keep for my quick notes & lists, and stick with Todoist (which I already use heavily) for tasks. So, with the wallet sting and my hesitance as to the long term viability of their business I decided to transfer my workflow to Google Drive and Google Keep as a pair. What Google Drive can’t offer me directly, guess what? Google Keep has you covered, in fact in some instances Keep is a better option for me and instead of paying an extra US$20 per year to maintain what I already had, I’m saving US$29.99 by moving to a free option that is included with my Google account. In fact as an advocate for all things Google, I’ve felt slightly dirty for being with Evernote for so long when Google Drive is a perfectly viable alternative to what’s on offer with Evernote in terms of functionality. With the ever evolving capabilities of cheaper and in often cases, free products I don’t see any reason to stay with Evernote. Instead of syncing my notes and other things to Evernote, I`m going to send stuff to Google Drive – and it’s pretty easy to do. Evernote’s recent decision to change prices and limit device syncing accompanied by crippling even the paid (plus) service has made me rethink our relationship and I’m sad to say it’s over.
