Problem

Although there are two official ways to put a file in the page of Evernote, each has its own problem.

First, putting a file directly into the note page means that it is detached from the original hard drive folder that keeps many of the related documents. Although it is theoretically possible to put several files into the same page of notes and make it function as a folder, there is a size limit of the file and you lose the hierarchy of a folder system. Moving attachment files across note pages is also cumbersome.

(By the way, there is an "Import Folder" function of Evernote, which seems to be an attempt to take over the conventional folder function. It is absolutely hopeless.)

How about linking up with the Google Drive?

Not much better an option really. It is ridiculously difficulty to find the file you want to link up because the dialogue box does not follow the tree-like filing system. You need to define the program for opening Microsoft Office files need to be opened. And, above all, it doesn't work when you are off-line.
