EndNote Library Safety
EndNote libraries are made up of two parts: the .enl file and the .data folder. These two parts must be kept together, both are needed for the library to work correctly.

EndNote libraries should be kept on the computer's hard drive. Storing and editing libraries on a network drive can lead to corruption and performance issues.

If needed for sharing purposes, a copy of an EndNote library can be placed in a read-only folder on a network drive for multiple users to access. The original library should remain on the owner's computer.

EndNote libraries should never be stored in cloud-syncing folders such as DropBox, OneDrive, SugarSync, etc. Syncing folders corrupt EndNote libraries over time.

EndNote libraries cannot be stored in SharePoint.

References in EndNote libraries can be synchronized between desktop and laptop computers, an EndNote online library, and an iPad using EndNote Sync. EndNote Sync is the only suggested synchronization method for EndNote references.

Complete EndNote libraries can be shared with other EndNote X7, X8, or X9 users through EndNote Sync and Library Sharing.

Use the Compressed Library to save remotely, updating newer versions as you wish and retrieving it to the desktop if needed

Compressed Library
File --> Compressed Library --> Create --> With File Attachments --> All References in Library --> Next --> Name the File -->
Save (Save to selected location)

Safari

There are known problems using Direct Export with Safari.  You try to export references directly and nothing seems to happen.

The easiest solution is to take the downloaded file and drag it into the EndNote icon in the dock.

The references will then appear in your EndNote library.

 

 

Firefox

You may also change browsers and use Firefox.

With Firefox you will choose the EndNote application to handle the data.

 

NOTE:
If you minimize your library before you try to export from FireFox it will not get imported. You need to leave the library open and not minimized for it to directly import into the open library.
