Internet accounts FULLY compatible with Notes?

I'm trying to get my Notes notes from one of my Apple IDs to another of my Apple IDs--long story, please no need for explanations of why that's bad or not meant to work. Also, I have nearly 1000 notes, so please don't suggest exporting them one by one, which I know is the standard way that is meant to work. It occurs to me that I can copy notes in bulk to other internet accounts by dragging them in the sidebar. BUT, when I do that, I frequently get the following message: "Unsupported Attachments. You’re copying notes to an account that doesn’t support some attachments. If you continue, unsupported attachments may look different." It appears that it's, of course, mostly photos that get deleted (but not clear why some do and some don't--doesn't seem to relate to recency, file type, or alterations). I have tried with a Google account and a Yahoo account.


So my big question is this: is there an internet account provider that would be fully compatible with Notes? One that I can just copy notes into without photos and other attachments getting stripped off?


Thank you, thank you, for any help.

Without knowing what isn't compatible, it's hard to say what is.

good luck I have every phone from day 1 still cant get straight answer,usually get my question removed ,really touches a nerve.we must be the only ones that didnt walk the line .last time I took apple kids advice from store lost 614 notes. nice...was great on iPhone 3 or 4 4s when could printout all my notes on a continues script ,as a backup, just incase In lost all 600 notes one day, now think has to do with their need to see all of your notes before releasing them back to you ya know through cloud
