Exporting your Dropbox data is just dragging your files out of the dropbox folder or just turning off synching. I mean it doesn't include your event log or old stuff and you have to have separate client applications for the things Evernote does (like web clippings etc) but yeah, Dropbox. I have not lost any data with it and I was able to recover data I did lose through their amazing deleted item retrieval tool.

Any product that doesn't allow you to export your data is broken.

how do you export? Last time I checked I could only export individual notes, which is obviously not a working solution given that I have thousands of notes.

In the desktop app, select all notes, click export, or... right click on "Notebooks", select export.

It lets you export in ENEX format, which is fully re-importable back to Evernote, or as HTML web pages.

While it reimports everything into Evernote it doesn't keep the notebooks or stacks you've setup.

Really annoying if you're importing in to another account.
