Publicly Share a Notebook or Note in Evernote
27 Feb 2010I love Evernote and the flexibility it gives me to carry my information with me everywhere. What I also make use of from time to time is the option to share information with other people. Typically I share it with other individuals by sharing a notebook with them specifically or simply by e-mailing the content of the note directly to them.
What I don’t do so often is share information with “everyone”, but Evernote does provide a way to do that and here’s how it’s done.
1. Log into your Evernote account
on evernote.com.
2. Create a new notebook for sharing with the public at large.
-
Select the “Sharing” option beneath the notebooks list - it displays an option called “sharing setup”.
-
Click the “Start Sharing” button next to the notebook you created.
-
Click the “Start Sharing with the world” option and you will be provided with a URL for accessing the notebook. e.g. http://www.evernote.com/pub/myuserid/public
Now you can simply pass the URL for the notebook on to anyone you want to access it - in an e-mail, a tweet or even on a web page. If you want to share a specific note then there are a few additional but simple extra steps.
-
Make sure the note is in your publicly shared notebook and navigate to it in your browser.
-
Copy the URL for the note from the browser’s address bar and pass it on.
I told you it was simple, but I know some people have had problems in the past just because they expected to find an option on the note to share it directly.
