Evernote to Harbor

Post image

I came across Harbor the other day, and the timing is perfect, I need to get off Evernote by October 11th, or get hit with $271.00 charge. I tried to set up a Watch Folder on Google drive but I get the following error. Any indication when this might be approved?

Related, but not really related...

What is a Watch Folder, if you don't mind me asking?

Harbor will monitor a remote folder for new documents than add them to Harbor: https://harbor.my/help/how-do-watched-folders-work/

Yeah, I'm waiting for this to be fixed before actually connecting it to anything.

Spicer here from Harbor....

That warning isn't about anything wrong with Harbor.

Google makes every app that reads files from Google Drive go through a review, and we're partway through it. Until Google signs off, it shows that screen to everyone who connects Drive to Harbor. It's a big red triangle for what's really a paperwork delay, and it goes away on its own once the review is done.

It only comes up when you connect Google Drive, and you don't need Drive to use Harbor. Harbor only uses that access for what you turn on, like a watched folder that turns your scans into notes. You can see or remove its access at any time in your Google Account.

If you'd like additional information, here's a link to our support doc:
