OneNote for Mac - Backup Solutions Needed

As I said. I did not have to do anything unusual, installed it and put files on it.

As it's a Microsoft product I suggest you ask them.

Oh, now I understand you put files in it manually. Where did you get OneNote original files from?

After installing OneDrive it asks me for login and the location where I want the folder be. Then the the short cuts appear, see the screen shots.

Ask Microsoft how their product works,

If I put any files manually like drop box then it works fine with mirror image, but not the files from OneNote.

I followed your suggestion, Microsoft does put a short link what applies to OneNote, here it is from support. And no one found a solution.

This is an interesting topic. I'm also looking for a way to make a backup of OneNote.

But without succes.

Have now purchased Growly Notes and work very well.

Here is a thread about OneNote for Mac >> Where does OneNote save its files on Mac:

@Raicya Growly Notes are great, but do not have the iPhone version, therefore it will not work for me as I need a mobile app. That's why I am still using OneNote.

One way to solve the back up issue, is if bunch of users would email Microsoft with a back up request. I would not mind if they make a paid version of the application if they need a budget for the modification.

Notes are a standard part of iOS. they are on all phones (and they are far superior to evernote)

@Raicya

I am glad you like note, but why are they more superior to evernote, please name a few.

Search? Mac version? Plus many other items that do not exist in notes.What about their default yellow fonts color, that can not be read in the sun.

I can read it in the sun, go see an eye doctor.

Evernote is junk, but if you like it go for it.

And PS. Notes does not use a yellow font. Perhaps if you stuck to fact this procedure would go quicker.

@Raicya

iOS is using yellow font for links, emails and phone ##, are you aware of it? If you are not, please go to see an eye doctor. I can recommend one, who suggested Evernote. He said its not good to strain your eyes.

I asked Apple why the links and phone # are yellow, not blue, like the standard link color. The support admitted that its hard to see in bright light, and suggested to write to Apple development team.

I seldom use notes, because they are not as powerful as other applications. Maybe you should go online and suggest to 127 million Evernote users that they are using junk, LOL!!! So tell me a few advantages of your iOS notes over Evernotes or Onenote. Maybe it will convince me to go back to notes.

Power of Evernote, that you can store things like tips, tutorials, licences, etc, etc.

The web statistics:

"In June 2012, Evernote announced it had 34 million users of whom 1.4 million were paying customers, up from the 25 million and 1 million announced in May 2012."

PS. Just read in 2014 Over 100 Million users

Notes, from iPhone 5s

Note the black font

now you can show me the picture of yours, the version with the yellow font.

@Raicya

I can see that your tasks of notes are very limited. You are using for something quick, that I would normally use my memory. 135, million people are using Evernote for complicated tasks and for things they want to store for a short and a long time. Including interviews, photos, videos, tutorials with illustrations, which in my case the use of advanced Photoshop CC tutorials, logins, PDF documents plus million other things. The search in Evernote is great, it even finds words in PDF document and displays it.

You are saying that Evernote is junk, because you probably did not give a chance and did not go through the tutorials. . Maybe you should give it another try, and be one of the millions that love Evernote.

Here is the yellow font, that its hard to see, there is a link that you can connect, but many times people ask me for the information and if I am outdoors I can not see a thing, especially in the sun!

Use something else if Notes offends you, there is plenty of choice

I just downloaded OneNote and was pretty unhappy that "requires Microsoft account" isn't prominent in the description. I have no intention of signing up for a Microsoft account, or OneDrive, or any of that. What you have described sounds like a horror story to me. I don't know why this app gets such great reviews -- there are many others that don't force this kind of hoop-jumping. Thank you for saving me from committing any of my data!
