While Evernote is a rock-solid platform that shouldn’t give you any issues, some users have reported losing notes from time-to-time. This is probably due to user error, but if you’d like that extra sense of security when adding important notes, you can automatically back up your Evernote notebooks to Google Drive.
Each note you save will be added into Google Drive as a new text file. If something happens, you’ve got a redundancy in place, and you’ll never again lose an important note.

One notebook with your most important notes is usually all that you’ll need to back up.
9. Click Add to complete the setup. Now, each time you create an Evernote in your specific notebook, it’ll appear within minutes in your Google Drive account -- automatically -- in a folder titled IFTTT.
