Send to OneNote lets you 'print' from any app to a OneNote page. Once it's in OneNote, you can access it from any device, even if you're offline. Open any file or webpage, select the Print option, and choose Send to OneNote. OneNote automatically captures a copy of the file so you can access it on all your devices. Now that you have Google Workspace, here are a few tips. They'll help you begin replacing Microsoft OneNote for your note-taking needs. Get Google Workspace apps on your mobile devices. On the left, click a shared drive or existing folder. Click New Folder. Enter a folder name and click Create. Step 3: Add notes to a folder in a shared drive. OneNote automatically stores backups of your notes on the same hard disk drive as your original notebook files. This helps to protect your notes from being accidentally changed, corrupted, or deleted while you work. It also makes restoration of recent notes quick and easy. When you create a new OneNote 2016 notebook on OneDrive it’s in the cloud. This means you can open it from your computer, smart phone, or any web-connected device and it will always be up to date. And, if you'd like, you can share it with others. In OneNote, choose File New.
Frequently we hear faculty, staff, and students use the words OneDrive and OneNote synonymously. While both are valuable, they are two completely different Microsoft Applications that serve two different purposes. Having an understanding of each can help users work more efficiently with these products.
OneDrive is simply a storage location in the cloud. It can be compared to a flash drive, t-drive, h-drive, or other non-cloud or cloud based storage locations. You can add file folders and organize your files similarly to how you would use a traditional storage system. A benefit of using OneDrive is you can access your files from any device, at any location by simply logging into your work Office 365 account. There is no need to use VPN to access OneDrive. Another benefit is that file folders and documents can be shared with others with editing or view only rights. This allows you a greater level of flexibility with who can see or edit your documents. Additionally, you have 1TB of storage in your OneDrive which is significantly more space than your school H-drive.
OneNote is a digital organization platform that many compare to a 3-ring binder. You must first create your OneNote and then add content to it. Think about it as putting a title page in a transparent cover on a 3-ring binder and then adding your tabbed sections. You can add sections and pages to your OneNote using Print to OneNote, insert documents via the Insert tab, or simply start with blank pages and type or ink (draw) straight on the page.
In short, think about OneDrive as a cloud based flash drive and OneNote as a digital 3-ring binder.

To get the most power out of OneNote you want to be able to synchronise the contents of your notebooks between devices and possibly share them with other people.
Cloud based save, sync or sharing is a standard requirement for most software these days and OneNote is no exception by offering such a feature.
However, due to the smart way that OneNote handles synchronisation and coupled with the fact that it’s generally called OneDrive sync – OneDrive of course being Microsoft’s cloud storage platform – confusion can ensue when people start to migrate to using OneDrive for notebook sync.
What they tend to do is copy their notebooks from wherever they used to store them and then paste them into their OneDrive folder. This seems pretty sensible because it’s called OneDrive sync, so we just put the files into OneDrive, right?
Logical, yes. Correct, no.
Another common confusion is that within OneNote a user might create a new notebook ‘on OneDrive’ – this is the default option when creating new notebooks with OneNote – but when they come to browse their OneDrive folder to find the notebook, say they want to back it up or make a copy, they can’t find it.
Right here is the point where it can get slightly confusing and this is what I’d like to address with this article.
To be clear, the two confusions are:
- a notebook that is demonstrably ‘on OneDrive’ remains invisible when access is attempted using the OneNote app
- a notebook that was created by OneNote to be stored on your OneDrive cannot be found, instead there’s a strange file that’s only 1KB is size and it most definitely is not a OneNote notebook
Why is this?
There is a lot of magic going on behind the scenes when OneNote & OneDrive are syncing your changes between machines.
Normally, cloud sync services like OneDrive or Dropbox copy the newest version of the file up to the cloud and then send it out to all the other devices logged in to that account.
When OneNote does its native ‘OneDrive sync’ it actually only sends the changes up to the cloud which subsequently then sends these changes out to the other devices.
The important thing is that you have a full copy of the notebook on your local machine and it’s only the changes that are being synced.
That is to say the file isn’t actually on OneDrive as a file that you can open. You have the notebook stored on your machine (tucked away somewhere) and it just happens that it’s on the OneDrive servers where this special OneNote-only synchronisation occurs, hence the confusion.
The placeholder that sits within your OneDrive with the same name as the notebook is just a shortcut to the web-only OneNote view. If you open the file with a text editor you can see the contents:
Ok, so what does this all mean?
If you want to share your notebook between devices and/or other people then you need to use the OneNote program itself to plumb in the syncing. It needs to create or move the notebook and then tell OneDrive that you’re now using OneNote syncing, hiding the notebook and then leaving that shortcut placeholder.
What I actually want is a physical copy of my notebook so I can back it up
You can get that and still use OneDrive syncing. Under Options > Save & Backup you can tell OneNote to automatically place backups in a location that you dictate on schedule between once a minute and once every 6 weeks. Confusingly you could even set that backup folder to be on OneDrive where it would then sync the actual .one OneNote file(s) between your machines as you would expect.
But I really don’t want to use OneDrive
Firstly it’s worth noting that to use OneNote syncing to OneDrive you don’t need to install the OneDrive cloud sync software; it’s all built into OneNote.
But that said, if you really want to lose the ability to sync your notebook to mobile devices or if you are prepared to get sync conflicts when you share the notebook old-school using your cloud sync platform, then this is still an option for you.*

If, however, you are already syncing your notebook via OneDrive then just use the export command. Export the page, section or entire notebook into the OneNote native format and you can put it wherever you want. OneNote will still be able to open it. You just cannot share it very easily (or effectively).

* this is not currently an option for iOS, Android or OSX versions of OneNote, your only option is to use OneDrive syncing.
I definitely want to start syncing using OneDrive so I can get my notebooks on all devices, how do I make it work?
Assuming you have a .one or .onepkg file created by OneNote you just open it normally; you don’t copy the notebook to OneDrive first.
Then go to File > Share. Select (or login) to your OneDrive and press Move Notebook.
All the magic now happens and you should eventually see the shortcut file in your OneDrive folder.
If you open the OneNote program on your phone or other device, that notebook should now be in the list of notebooks that you have available to open.
Summary
A lot of magic happens under the hood with OneNote syncing. To get it working you simply need to use the OneDrive syncing options within OneNote itself.
