Q: I can't sketch in Apple notes with non-Apple account
Hello all. I'd like to find out others' experience with using sketching in Apple notes on the latest iOS version (9) on an iPad Pro.
In experimenting this morning, I was looking for a way to share notes between a couple of key users in my organization. One solution I came up with, was to create email accounts for them on our local OS X server, add those accounts to the devices, and only use "notes" instead of Mail as well (via IMAP account creation).
Now, the syncing part of the notes works pretty well and quickly. From computer, to devices and back. Unfortunately, what doesn't work, is the option for images/sketching/etc, that are available when using notes on a "local" folder (on an iOS device) or iCloud account. Any other type of account (Gmail, IMAP, etc) those extra options are unavailable when creating or editing a note. Is this by design? Has anyone else experienced this?
(Using Mac Pro, iPhone 6S+, iPad Pro)
