How can I get help with Evernote Teams?

For technical support or tips on how to get the most out of Evernote Teams, get help in the following ways:

What’s the difference between Evernote Personal and Evernote Teams?

Evernote Teams gives you all the power of Evernote Personal, plus additional features just for teams, such as shared workspace, user management, centralized billing, and more. Learn more >>

What if one of my team members already has an Evernote account?

For Evernote Teams accounts that have been updated: If someone has an existing Evernote account, they can continue to use it for their own individual notes. When they join the team, they will create a second, separate team account to use for team notes.

For Evernote Teams accounts that have not been updated: If someone has an existing Evernote account, we recommend that they use it to join the Evernote Teams account. All of their own individual notes and notebooks will remain separate from their team notes and notebooks. No one, not even the account admin, will have access to or control over any of a user's individual notes and notebooks, and the user keeps them even if they leave the team.

What happens to a user's notes and notebooks when they join or leave an Evernote Teams account?

When a user leaves the team account, they will immediately lose access to team notes and notebooks, since all team content remains within the Evernote Teams account.

What is the monthly upload allowance for an Evernote Teams account?

Each Evernote Teams account gets 20 GB monthly uploads shared across the team account + an additional 2 GB per user on that account.

For example, if there are four users on your company account, your team gets 28 GB shared monthly uploads. In other words, your team gets 20 GB + 8 GB (2 GB * 4 users) uploads shared across the account per month. Learn more >>

Is Evernote data encrypted?

All communications between Evernote's client applications and servers is done over SSL so your password and all data is secure in transit. Evernote does not encrypt any data stored on your own computers and devices, however you can choose to set up encryption on your drives and devices yourself.

Does Evernote Teams support Active Directory or programmatic user management?

Yes. Evernote Teams connects with your current Active Directory or LDAP solution, letting you invite or remove account users right from within your existing Administrative console. Services like Okta, the first provisioning partner fully integrated with Evernote Teams, enable this simple user management in minutes.

Does Evernote Teams support Single Sign-On (SSO)?

Yes. Evernote uses the secure and widely adopted industry standard Security Assertion Markup Language 2.0 (SAML 2.0). This means that our implementation of SSO integrates easily with any large identity provider that supports SAML 2.0. We also support ADFS. Learn more >>

Is Evernote Teams SSAE16 compliant?

Does Evernote Teams provide version control or note history features?

Can I see who is making changes or moving content?

The ‘Activity History’ page in the admin console will show you a list of recently-changed notes and who made them; however, you won’t see an itemized list of every single change. Learn more >>

Can I recover notes that have been deleted?

Deleted notes are stored in the team’s trash. If someone accidentally deletes a note, they can always restore it from within the trash in a team account, even if they're not the team's account admin. Account admins can also restore (or permanently delete) notes from the admin console.

You can deactivate your Evernote Teams account from the admin console on the 'Billing Information' page. It will remain active until the end of your currently paid billing cycle. Before you deactivate your team’s Evernote account, we recommend that you move any notes in team notebooks that you want to keep into your own individual notebooks, or create a backup file by selecting the notebook and 'Export Notes' as an .enex file on your computer. You will lose access to the team notes and notebooks once the account is deactivated.
