I experimented comparing the following setups: Spent a whole weekend fiddling with it in the officially documented way. This is with the Linux desktop client and mobile client sync with ~500 notes, ~450 resources and ~50 tags imported from evernote. Out the box, I tried to run Evernote import (~1000 objects) + Encryption + Dropbox sync, but it was just unreasonably slow and I couldn’t get 2x Ubuntu & 1x Android devices to play nice with sync + encryption.
On the Desktop clients, you can switch from “File system” to “Dropbox” sync (But I leave the filesystem sync inside the Dropbox folder as is since faster sync helps avoid conflicts!).Unfortunately, it seems some oddity occurs where this sync method change will trigger an update tigger of sorts for “EVENT_NOTE_ALARM_FIELD_CHANGE”, but at least all items are now on the mobile device. On Android Joplin, after sync is 100% done, switch to the “Dropbox” sync method (uses the Dropbox API, not filesystem) in order to be able to edit notes.On Andorid Joplin, use the “File system” sync method with the offline scratch folder location of dropbox (Android app will need storage permission as per normal).sdcard/Android/data//files//scratch/Apps/Joplin With an Android file manager, view the path of the offline folder, e.g.On Android Dropbox, set the App/Joplin folder as “offline” and wait for it to be fully synced.Sync from the other Joplin desktop clients using the same “File system” sync method at the /Dropbox/Apps/Joplin location (not Dropbox sync!).Import from evernote the Desktop client and wait for dropbox to complete syncing the folder.Setup encryption if so desired (Dropbox keeps history of files so you might not want unencrypted versions synced to dropbox).This can possibly be left as is instead of needing to setup Dropbox sync. Desktop client: Point the “file system” sync to the standard /Dropbox/App/Joplin subfolder of Dropbox (need to specify full path) - likely to work for Linux, OSX and Windows.Setup devices to sync from “file system”.TL DR: Joplin local “file system” sync to a Dropbox folder and letting the Dropbox agent do the sync is much faster! Use this as an interim hack to jumpstart bulk item sync.
Appreciate the effort to support dropbox API sync integration and encryption features!Ī key issue is some clients (Linux/Android) only seem to do syncing while the app is in focus and this makes the initial import and sync of bulk notes from evernote very cumbersome.
