Yes they do. Read the T&C.
Was hoping for an answer from someone at Notion rather than "read a 50 page legal document", but thanks.
Good thing that you got exactly what you wanted.

#412This is kinda weird, because I was happily giving them $4/month after running out of space in their trial plan, and now I absolutely have no reason to keep giving them money. Which, sure, I guess I'll take it. My $4/month isn't going to make or break their business and they probably barely give a shit about getting money for personal usage. Does remind me that my usage of their app doesn't align with their business m…
Are there any open source Notion alternatives? This is the main benefit of open source software, in my mind: no one can "take" it from you because it doesn't belong to "them" in the same way that a product does.

Notion employees are only allowed to access your workspace data with your written consent. We are also only allowed to do this in order to facilitate an improved user experience for you (e.g. debug problems you have asked support about, etc). We are working on updating our T&C and Privacy Policy to make this more clear, but it is rigorously practiced internally already. We do not yet have end-to-end encryption, or ot…
Thanks for the reply, Jamie, much appreciated. I would definitely pay for an E2E encrypted Notion.
I'm curious. Why the need for E2E?

#415I switched to Joplin when I bumped up against Notion's limits. It's a little more setup than a cloud app, but it's completely seamless once it's running. The most complicated part is adding Joplin to system startup for the web clipper server. All it needs is a real rich editor and a preview on the clipper.

I like the idea of Notion, but one of things keeping me is that it seems like it'd be a pain to export one's data if Notion ever went out of business. But just keeping folders of Markdown notes is also inflexible, but on the opposite side of the scale. Obsidian looks like a great balance! I've requested beta access as well. Edit: Obsidian seems to make it easy to create a Zettelkasten, sort of like https://github.com…
I switched from OneNote to Notion a while a go, one major reason being the possibility to easily export notes in Markdown format. I think it's working pretty well, or am I overlooking something?
Notion's export used to dump it all in one opaque blob of files with no structure aside from some CSV files that roughly described where things went. Maybe they haven't used it since Notion changed it to use folders.

Hey there, we've thought about that too and came up with a new user interface concept. Emvi [1] supports interlinked articles already and you can search through your notes easily. But we found the current user interface to inefficient for both, simple note taking and collaboration. You can read about our new concept here: https://emvi.com/blog/a-new-experimental-user-interface-QMZg... It will come out in about three…
Is this a alternative frontend for notion? Or what do you mean? From the look of it this seems like another poor implementation of the same old tricks and concepts which everyone already know and uses.
No it's a new frontend for Emvi which focuses on keyboard controls and better attention focus. What do you mean by the same old tricks? You'll find some images and gifs in our Twitter profile: https://twitter.com/emvi
Re: Notion for everyone
#418I love using Notion, but I think the general discussion about it does not talk enough about how it's flexibility is also a problem many times. 1. Flexibility of blocks is a cognitive overhead for most folks in my team. They would rather prefer more constrained and opinionated approaches like Trello 2. Notion is currently a jack of all trades and master of none. We have tried to use it as a wiki, project tracker, issu…
long time notion user here. I was using notion for my personal life and it was serving the purpose but when I started using it as a project management tool for my dev team I realised how crippled it is (no dependent tasks, gantt view etc). maybe I'm wrong and notion is not built for this but then again why would i use it just for wiki? recently started looking for task management+wiki tool.. reviewed more than 10+ to…
I’m starting to be quite sad about all these nice things that I’ll never get to use in my huge enterprise :/

Outline could be an alternative if your main usecase was internal team documentation. I understand that Notion can be used for a lot of other things too… It is BSL licensed, the only restriction is that you cannot run a hosted version for other organizations to use (aka compete with the only way the project maintains itself). https://www.getoutline.com/
I cannot use outline unless I have Slack or a Google account?!

Yup, Notion and OneNote occupy similar scenarios for me. It's where I can gather my compiled thoughts and notes, but I've had trouble implementing any team processes on it due to it not being constrained enough in its UI. I don't think there's any easy answer here. I respect the Notion team a lot for making a tool that is so flexible, but it's also a curse in some key scenarios.
Onenote is so close as a perfect system for me but what it leaves out really hurts. -No task Hierarchy -No alerts for due dates (Yes you can add outlook tasks but its flakey) -No automatic reporting
No page sharing
Not standard markup of the notes (not possible to export)
