EverNote #12 : And what about Joplin?

Unlike Evernote, Joplin does not impose a "one-size-fits-all" maximum storage capacity because it is open-source. 

Your limits depend entirely on how you choose to sync your notes. [1, 2, 3, 4] 

1. If you use Third-Party Sync (Free)

If you sync Joplin using a service like Dropbox, OneDrive, or Google Drive, Joplin itself has no cap. Your only limit is the storage space of that specific provider. [2, 5] 

* Total Capacity: Limited only by your cloud account (e.g., 2GB for free Dropbox, 5GB for free OneDrive).

* Monthly Uploads: Unlimited. Unlike Evernote’s 250MB or 10GB monthly caps, you can upload your entire 10GB library in a single day if your cloud provider allows it.

* Note Size: Practically unlimited on desktop, though notes over 10MB may occasionally cause performance lag or sync issues on older mobile devices. [2, 6, 7, 8, 9] 

2. If you use Joplin Cloud (Paid)

If you choose to use Joplin’s official [paid syncing service](https://joplinapp.org/plans/), there are specific tiered limits: [10, 11] 

| Plan [12, 13] | Total Storage | Max Note/Attachment Size |

|---|---|---|

| Basic | 2 GB | 10 MB |

| Pro | 30 GB | 200 MB |

| Teams | 50 GB | 200 MB |

3. If you use Local Storage (Free)

If you don't sync to the cloud at all and just keep your notes on one computer, your only limit is the size of your hard drive. [14] 

* Maximum Notes: Joplin is optimized to handle thousands of notes (some users report 100,000+) without significant slowdowns.

* Database Size: Theoretically supports up to the SQLite limit (terabytes), though the app would become sluggish long before reaching that point. [14, 15] 

Summary: For a free user coming from Evernote, Joplin is much more "unlimited." You can move 10GB of notes into Joplin today using a free OneDrive account and never pay a monthly fee or worry about upload caps. [7, 8, 16] 

Are you ready to see the specific steps for moving your Evernote notebooks into Joplin?
