What happens after you upload your archive.

1. The short version

For roughly 9 of our 13 destinations, the entire delivery is a single file in your inbox. You download it, import it into your new app, and you're done — we never need access to your destination account.

A small number of destinations (Notion, OneNote shared notebooks, Apple Notes, Google Keep) work differently because of how each platform handles imports. Those are covered below — none of them ever require us to know your password.

2. File delivery — the default path

The simplest and most private delivery method: we email you a download link to your converted archive, formatted exactly for your destination. You import it inside the app. We never touch your destination account.

• Obsidian — a zipped vault. Unzip into your Obsidian vaults folder, open Obsidian, point it at the folder. Done.
• Joplin — a .jex file. In Joplin: File → Import → JEX.
• Bear, Notesnook, UpNote — each app's preferred bundle format. Import from inside the app.
• OneNote (personal notebook) — a .one notebook. Open with File → Open Notebook.
• Markdown / Plain text — a clean folder structure mirroring your notebooks.
• PDF archive — one PDF per note, organised by notebook.
• Google Drive — a folder structure delivered as a shared Google Drive link.

3. Collaborator-invite delivery (Notion & OneNote shared)

Notion and shared OneNote notebooks don't accept clean bulk imports from outside. The industry-standard pattern is for you to invite us as a temporary collaborator on the target workspace or notebook.

• How it works: after we receive your .enex upload, we email you a short invite request that tells you exactly which page or workspace to share, with which permission level, and to which email address.
• What we get access to: only the specific workspace or notebook you create for the import. Not your full Notion or Microsoft account.
• When it ends: the moment your verification report lands in your inbox, you remove the collaborator. We send a confirmation reminder. Total access time is typically under 24 hours.
• What we never ask for: your password, your Notion login, your Microsoft account credentials. There is no scenario where any of those are necessary.

4. Hands-on assist (Apple Notes)

Apple Notes has no clean third-party import format. We solve this two ways and you choose the one you prefer:

• File + instructions: we deliver your archive as a set of .rtf or .html files plus a short PDF showing exactly how to use macOS's built-in "Import to Notes" feature. About 5 minutes of clicking on your end.
• 30-minute screenshare: if you'd rather not touch it, we schedule a short call, share your screen, and walk you through the AppleScript-based import on your own Mac. You stay in control of every click; we never touch your keyboard. No remote-access tools required.

Either way, your Apple ID never leaves your machine. We do not log in to your Apple account under any circumstance.

5. Google Keep — expectation set

We're upfront: Google Keep has no import API. There is no way for anyone — us, you, or another service — to bulk-import notes into Keep with formatting preserved. Anyone who promises otherwise is overpromising.

What we deliver instead: a Google Drive folder containing your migrated notes as Google Docs, fully formatted, tagged with their original notebook names. You can read, search, and edit them on every device exactly like a native Drive document. For most former-Evernote users this is a closer match to their actual workflow than Keep would be anyway.

If you specifically need Keep-native notes for a small subset, we'll flag that in the verification report and you can copy-paste those individually.

6. Your verification report

Every delivery — file or collaborator-invite — includes a short PDF verification report. Each report lists:

• Total notes processed and successfully converted.
• Notebooks, tags, and attachments accounted for, with counts.
• Any items flagged as partially recoverable (rare — usually pre-existing corruption in your Evernote export), with a description of the issue.
• The exact timestamps of upload, processing, and delivery.

If anything in the report is wrong or anything is missing that should be there, reply to the delivery email and we re-process that portion at no cost.

7. Final delete

Within 24 hours of you confirming successful import, we permanently destroy your uploaded .enex file and every working copy on our isolated workstations. You receive a deletion confirmation email when this completes — that email is your record that nothing of yours remains on our infrastructure.

The R2 storage bucket your original upload sat in is then completely empty for your order. The order metadata (name, email, plan) is retained for 12 months for tax and dispute records, as described in the Privacy Policy, then also deleted.

8. Questions before you order

If your destination isn't listed here, or you have a workflow we haven't covered, email contact@evernotemigration.com. We answer within a few hours during business days. No tickets, no follow-up marketing.
