Here is my advice based on my one year experience, if anyone interested. Context: Android and MacOS devices, former Evernote fan (2009-2023). Chances are, you only need a little fraction of your 10k notes most of the time. The main trick to fix Android poor performance is to store 95% of your note…

Ask out of curiosity If multiple devices edit the same file at the same time, will it be damaged? If only half of the resource file is uploaded, will other devices download unusable files? Thank's

With my own use case I have a very low performance tablet and it has problems loading all the data. So I built a JoplinServer on my Raspberry Pi Then I synchronized all my data to the main account, and then created an empty clone account for the tablet. Then I shared some notebooks from the main …

Very interesting discussion! I am also an ex-Evernote user (2014-2021) with earlier notes from other note-taking applications and services. I sync with Joplin Cloud. I've dealt with my large dataset by exporting most notes that haven't been updated for more than a couple of years to JEX files and im…

It's actually in version 3.1 (available as a pre-release). I had sync locks turned off for a while on all my devices without any issue and at a theoretical level I think it's also safe to get rid of them.

[image] dhwalker: exporting most notes that haven't been updated for more than a couple of years to JEX files Be very, very careful about that. I've learned the hard way the painful lesson that a JEX regenerates all note IDs. Links between notes of the same JEX are preserved but links between…

Thanks. I had figured it was likely I'd mess up inter-note links, particularly since the old notes would be in a different profile, but I don't do too much linking and decided to go ahead. The news about the sync locks is encouraging, though. I think I'll be merging everything back into a single pr…

Syncing a new Android device against Joplin cloud with ~15k notes and over 10gb total I found the only way to get the sync to complete is to prevent the Android device from locking with Caffeine . I had to leave the device to sync overnight and plugged in to a charger, but the the sync completed wit…

I'm using joplin with 3000+ notes that require more than 10GB space. On my android phone I set the "attachment download behavior" to ALWAYS, not auto. This had a cost: I had to let the phone on overnight. But now every attachment is ready to open at wish. So, when I need a resource in a hurry, I…

Thanks for sharing. Good to put those tips and tricks in one place for those having a large set of notes. I also migrated from Evernote in January when the situation was particularly bad at Evernote. I tried different tools and stumbled on Joplin which I link very much. Because of the sync time an…

The version 3.2 pre-release has an in-beta encryption method that should be faster. See this comment in the release notes for details.
