Migrate from Notion, Evernote, or Google Drive

You can bring information from other tools into Memol. Perfect 1:1 migration isn't always possible — here's the realistic guide.

From Notion

Notion supports Markdown export out of the box.

Steps

1. In Notion, open the page (or parent page) to migrate
2. Top right ⋯ → Export
3. Format: Markdown & CSV
4. Check Include subpages → Export
5. Unzip the downloaded file
6. In Memol: Settings → Import → Notion
7. Upload the ZIP

Tradeoffs

• Databases are flattened to notes (relations are lost)
• Images are re-uploaded to Memol (can take time)
• Toggles and callouts are converted to plain headings/paragraphs

Imperfect, but 90%+ of text content migrates cleanly.

From Evernote

Native .enex import is on our roadmap (planned for 2026). For now, use one of these proven paths.

Option 1: Via Markdown (recommended — preserves formatting & structure)

Use a free third-party tool like evernote-to-md to convert .enex into a folder of .md files.

1. In Evernote desktop: select notebook → File → Export → ENEX format
2. Run evernote-to-md (or similar) to convert .enex → .md
3. Drag the resulting .md files into Memol (open the destination folder in Memol's sidebar, then drag from Finder/Explorer)

Filenames become note titles. Markdown formatting (headings, lists, links) is preserved.

Option 2: Copy and paste (for a small number of notes)

1. Open the note in Evernote
2. Select all (⌘A / Ctrl+A) → Copy
3. In Memol: create a new note → enter title → paste into body

Rich text formatting (bold, lists, tables) and embedded images carry over.

Option 3: HTML export, one note at a time

1. Select the note in Evernote → File → Export → HTML format
2. Open the saved HTML in your browser → select all → copy
3. Paste into a new note in Memol

Practical for a few dozen notes or less. For larger libraries, use Option 1.

See Evernote vs Memol for the full comparison.

From Markdown files

If you already have .md files, drag-and-drop them in bulk.

1. Open the destination folder in Memol's sidebar
2. Drag .md files (or a folder containing them) from Finder/Explorer
3. Drop to import

Filenames become note titles.

From Google Drive / Dropbox

No direct integration yet. Workaround:

1. Download as Markdown or Word from the source
2. Drag-and-drop into Memol

Periodic sync is on the roadmap.

Should I migrate everything?

We get asked this often.

Worth migrating

• Frequently referenced manuals and runbooks
• Actively updated project info
• Searchable meeting minute archives

Not worth migrating

• Pure archive content — keep read-only in the source
• Material that's years old — pull only when needed
• Image-heavy pages — migration cost is high

"Start with what you use most" beats "migrate everything".

Post-migration checklist

• Confirm note count matches expectation
• Spot-check images render correctly
• Rebuild folder structure for Memol
• Inform teammates of the new location
• Set the old tool to read-only

Next steps

• Reorganize → Folders and tags
• Roll out to your team → Team collaboration
