Where Does Evernote Store Local Data?
The current Evernote v10 app caches notes in an Electron app data folder. There is no single portable .exb file as in legacy Evernote.
Last updated
Evernote v10 stores account cache, IndexedDB data and logs under the OS application support folder. The databases subfolder holds the synced content cache.
These files are a cache of your Evernote account, not a portable export. Use File Export or ENEX export for migration rather than copying the cache.
Where Evernote stores this, by platform
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Evernote
App data root for Evernote v10 on Windows. <user> is the Windows login name. The databases subfolder inside holds the synced cache. Sign in again after clearing it.
/Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Evernote
App data root for Evernote v10 on macOS. <user> is the macOS username. The databases subfolder inside holds the synced cache. This replaces the legacy com.evernote.Evernote .exb layout.
Frequently asked questions
Where did the .exb file go?
Legacy Evernote for Windows used a local .exb database. Evernote v10 uses an Electron cache instead, so look under the Evernote app data folder for databases and IndexedDB content.
Can I read notes offline from these files?
Only through the Evernote app with an account that has offline notebooks enabled. For a durable copy, export notebooks to ENEX from inside the app.
