Ditching Evernote for Dropbox Paper - 2023 edition

Hi Thomas, I am currently facing the same problem 😄 

844 Notes that have to be moved - if I need half a minute per Note that would make about I don't know.. almost exactly 7 hours non stop speed copying.. 

[Edit] So there is a ENEX export function in the dropbox Windows-Store App (not on the web version) -> simply right click on the notebook and press export -> to ENEX. 

You can convert the ENEX files into markdown using 
https://github.com/wormi4ok/evernote2md?tab=readme-ov-file

but it currently has the bug that it overrides duplicated filenames (so this bug has to be fixed first)

Once we have the markdown we might be using 

the C# DotNet Paper API and create papers like hell 

https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-dotnet?tab=readme-ov-file

note the PaperDocCreateArgs command. 

Here is what ChatGPT4 thinks might work - I did not try it yet as I am at work, but it seems the API calls are all there. 

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Dropbox.Api;
using Dropbox.Api.Paper;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Replace YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN with your actual access token
        var task = Task.Run(() => CreatePaperDocument("YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"));
        task.Wait();
    }

    static async Task CreatePaperDocument(string accessToken)
    {
        using (var dbx = new DropboxClient(accessToken))
        {
            try
            {
                var paperApi = dbx.Paper;

                // Specify the import format (e.g., Markdown or PlainText) and optionally a parent folder ID
                var createArgs = new PaperDocCreateArgs(ImportFormat.Markdown);

                // Here you can specify the content of the document
                string paperContent = "# Your Markdown Content Here\nThis is a new Paper document.";

                // Create the new Paper document
                var paperDoc = await paperApi.DocsCreateAsync(createArgs, paperContent);

                Console.WriteLine($"Paper document created successfully. Doc ID: {paperDoc.DocId}");
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"Error creating Paper document: {ex.Message}");
            }
        }
    }
}
