Don’t Put This in Evernote

Evernote is a great place to store your notes, ideas, and documents that you need on the go, but there are some things I would keep elsewhere.

Whether you are new to Evernote or just want to see how to use it more effectively, my course “Evernote For Beginners” will help.

Evernote is great for storing notes, documents, and ideas, but not for everything
Avoid storing sensitive personal information like passwords and Social Security numbers in Evernote
Use password managers or encrypted apps for secure note-taking and sensitive data
Don’t store photos in Evernote due to storage space issues; use iCloud or Google Photos instead
Use Evernote for quick access to notes on the go, not for long-term document storage
Store tax records and legal documents as PDFs on a desktop or use services like Dropbox
Evernote uses industry standard encryption to protect data in transit
Evernote does not store passwords in plaintext and erases all used storage media
Users can encrypt parts of individual notes but not full notes or notebooks
Evernote’s security is strong but not perfect; users should still take digital privacy precautions
