Iunderstand that there has to be some kind of limit to the size of a file, but can we please have something more than 200mb? Can we at least have a 50i0 mb limit per file? And can anyone tell me what else I can use for larger files than 200 mb in the mean time? I love Evernote, but it doesn't meet about 5% of my needs.
This has been requested several times. We must remember we subscribers only pay for the upload, not for the storage. Raising the upload might provoke a storage fee on top of that - something I would not like to see.
The only real use of more than 200MB is video footage. Get a YT account, create a private channel, post your videos there, link them to your notes. You can even play them inline. Another option is a link to Google Drive.
I personally wouldn't want to put too many large files in my Evernote account because then I'm increasing my storage size across any Desktop device that has Evernote installed (since there is no selective sync on Desktop) -- and I have four of them (plus 2 additional installs of legacy). Perhaps one day Evernote will allow for a higher storage limit per note with selective sync for Desktop. That'd be cool.
That seems kind of a low number.... like you are hoping that Evernote will adapt and add features to get you closer to 100% What is the other 95% that you are looking for? Edit: read that totally wrong.
It meets 95%. I just need a bit more. It's books I like to access through Evernote. I can take them anywhere, and they're always accessible on my iPad. Problem with links is if I don't have internet I can read them. I guess it's so people aren't uploading a ton of videos. I can imagine if people had access to files twice as large, it would impact Evernote's servers that much more. Maybe 250 mb? Many textbooks are just a tad over 200mb. So it would help.
I also put books in Evernote and like to be able to access them from any device, but I think I've only encountered one pdf book (a textbook with a lot of images) that was over 200 MB. I have a Harry Potter pdf book that is only 3 MB in comparison. Lately for the larger sized books though, I'm getting more hesitant to put them in Evernote because of the non-selective sync on Desktop. Though I guess it's still pretty small compared to the large storage drives that exist today. I probably shouldn't worry about that.
I'm using a bunch of college textbooks at the moment that are on PDF. Most of them are under 200, but a few are under 300. I've been trying to break them up into smaller volumes, but it ends up increasing the size of each file so the parts end up even bigger than the first whole one was. I just like to keep everything under one roof as it were. The nice thing about Evernote of course is all the files are then accessible from anywhere: my desktop computer, ipad, iphone, and I can send them or share the files easily. I do love Evernote. Every time I explain to people how useful it is their eyes glaze over, though. But I use it for so many things from taxes to voice memos and books.
If these books are beyond 200MB, they are either very graphically oriented, or completely inefficient. If splitting them up increases the size, the tool used is adding to the problem, instead of solving it.
I used to do stuff like split up files, extract text from them, and experiment with other cludgy workarounds. It worked OK at times, but in the end I just used apps that could handle large files without wasting my time with workarounds. Over time, that has meant less time spent in Evernote and more time with others that can meet this need.
Based on what little I know about scanning, I'd have to agree with @PinkElephant - I only ever had one PDF manual that went over the note limit and that had a lot of pictures. I used Adobe's standard 'reduce file size' feature though, and it reduced the size by 50%. A lot of ebooks come in multiple formats like EPUB, MOBI & AZW3 and a little free app called Calibre con not only read all those (and about 75 more) but can also convert from one to the other.
The most efficient format is EPUB where file sizes are significantly smaller. I even have The Complete Works of William Shakespeare in my library - all the plays and (AFAIK) all the poetry - at less than 100MB. (It's not in Evernote, just on an external hard drive)
Evernote is currently trying to improve syncing for everyone - both in speed and convenience, and I hardly think they (or the rest of us) would welcome large uploads taking up maximum bandwidth for long periods and slowing the process down.
Evernote already had the experience of offering "unlimited" uploads a few years ago, where a small body of users immediately used the opportunity to backup PC's and store their film libraries there for convenience... can't remember how long that lasted, but it wasn't very long.
I appreciate "all" the OP is asking for is a 500MB limit, but until there's a clear general need for higher limits I agree it's down to the individual to find a way to reduce file sizes, or store the material elsewhere. It is still possible to include a file link to Google / Dropbox or wherever else you may have stashed your library, so you're not having to step away from your studies to refer to a publication, you just click or tap the link in your notes and keep reading...
All due respect, but why is this a 'design inadequacy'? If you had to pick a limit that would prevent someone from backing up their system / saving random video files and generally slowing down general access to the network by backing up large files online, where would you peg the limit?
And as to 'modify / degrade' - these are the current rules and limits; you can find a way to operate within them, or you can explore other options... unless higher limits were already in a pipeline somewhere already, they ain't gonna happen anywhere soon...
Thanks for discussing the issue with me.I agree that many of the limits have been more clearly delineated over time, users have options besides this forum for requesting changes, and there don't appear to be any changes in the pipeline (even if there were, they wouldn't happen anytime soon), so all we can do here as users is operate within the limits or explore other options.
In answer to the question about where to peg the limits, note size and number limits have been a pain point for me for over a decade now, and I suppose I have been hoping since the 50mb limit days that the limits would be removed entirely or greatly relaxed by now (see archived post below). Interestingly, limits that I have found to be inconsequential in my use case (the number of notebooks) have massively increased (are we at 10,000 now for teams?) over time while some limits that I have frequently bumped up against (100,000 for the number of notes) have remained unchanged. It will be interesting to see what happens under new ownership. Regardless of what happens, gaz and Pink Elephant have offered helpful advice.
@Stani you have a 1200mb/s. and only got 180 mbs? i will not happy with that!!! i saw several post with same issue (including me) seems in spite of the decos cover your full house they offer poor bandiwthd quiality
240-250 is really good for device on WiFi 2.4GHz, but 5GHz device can do better. Turn off 2.4GHz in WiFi Settings in Deco app, for Main Network and for Guest Network (if Guest Network is enabled). See if your WiFi device can connect to 5GHz and if it'll get better speed.
A new day begins and I can say that the IOS app the iPad is working OK however despite another 2 uninstalls, deleting files and reinstalling the Bitdefender suite on Mac OS the problem remains. It thought I was reaching the 200mb daily limit but can confirm the vpn is disconnecting within a minute or so of establishing a connection.
I have exactly the same issue on my Android smartphone, and on my Android tablet. The connection drops with the message "You used your daily 200MB of secure traffic. Upgrade and forget about restrictions."
Kindly check your inbox for the delivery e-mail containing the activation code, as I have noticed that you've placed a bundle order for Total Security and Premium VPN and a code is sent for each subscription. An order can have multiple products and their respective codes must be redeemed in Central for the services to become active. You are currently seeing the basic VPN included in your Total Security subscription that is indeed limited to 200mb daily per device.
The android tablet is my work tablet as a wildland fire administrator. It only gets pulled out during fire season, so it spends a long period of time off and in storage. Yesterday, I got sent to an assignment, so I bought a 30 day data pass for the tablet. I got the text saying it was active and my purchase was successful.
The ipad pretty much stays in my bedroom as a reading device, and is constantly on wifi, so i wouldnt notice if it worked or didnt work on the mobile network. However, as part of my troubleshooting with the OTHER line, i disabled wifi, and (this tablet should have 200mb available to use) like the android, I cannot browse any other website thats not t-mobile
1. Both devices have several bars of LTE service at my house. I also drove to other locations in the county to hit different towers and confirm i didnt just have a weird glitch on the tower nearest my house.
