General Safety Notes from Clarivate Analytics
EndNote libraries are made up of two parts: the .enl file and the .data folder. These two parts must be kept together as both are needed for the library to work correctly.
EndNote libraries should be kept on your computer's hard drive. Storing and editing libraries on a portable (usb / flash / thumb) or network drive can lead to corruption and performance issues.
EndNote libraries should never be stored in cloud-syncing folders such as Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, SugarSync, etc. Syncing folders corrupt EndNote libraries over time. (see safety note for MacOS versions 10.12 [Sierra], 10.13 [High Sierra], and 10.14 [Mojave])
Do not store EndNote libraries in iCloud or any other cloud-syncing folder and do not store EndNote libraries in the Documents folder if you have selected the option to synchronize documents in iCloud.
