Caution

EndNote is not recommended for use with cloud based storage (E.g., Dropbox, SharePoint, Box, iCloud, OneDrive, Google Drive) as the files may go corrupt over time.  However, you may store a compressed library format (.enlx file) of your EndNote library there as a backup copy (see how to create a compressed library)

Here are some options to change the settings on Windows or macOS so that the area you store your EndNote libraries is not synced to the cloud:

For macOS- iCloud, see here: Change your iCloud settings

For Windows- OneDrive, see here: Choose which OneDrive folders to sync to your computer
