What issue do you have?

Thanks to a reply to an earlier post I was able to setup Joplin Cloud and move all my content from Evernote to Joplin. Can you help me understand where all my notes are now stored locally? I was previously using dropbox for synchronization. Thank you!

The files are not directly exposed just sitting in a directory. They are stored in a SQLite database inside of the ~/.config/joplin-desktop. Your attachments are stored in ~/.config/joplin-desktop/resources.

If you wanted to edit files with a different editor then you would need to open Joplin and either click this external edit button or right/Ctrl + click on a note and select "Open in external editor".
