Hey,
Basically, left my tablet on the side, and it randomly restarted. I then later noticed that all of my Snotes had disappeared and cannot find them with the file manager app either.
Is there any way to restore these!?
Thanks in advance
if youre rooted you can try this:

Not rooted unfortunately, thanks though. Just disappointed that this can happen with unmodified, stock firmware on the flagship app for the device.
Shall be exporting important notes as pdf's and syncing with dropbox in future.
This should not have happened. However, I recommend DropSync for synching your notes with Dropbox. Much better than what comes with SNotes.
So nothing in the SNotes folder on your SDCard?

Only thing in the 'S Note' folder is init.txt.
Totally agree with you about DropSync, Using that with ezPDF reader and it works great.
You can search your sdcard for *.snb files and see if they somehow got misplaced (although quite unlikely). I just can't see how the tablet would have wiped your files unless they weren't saved properly in the first place.

my notes wanish to
This is second time I experiencing this. This time I lost many notes. Started snote, message syncing apeared and kaboom, no notes at all.
I am more and more dissapointed with this tablet every day. This is even worse than windows. Not serious working tool at all.
Always back up
You know Samsung backs s-notes up by default to Your Samsung link account. So look for the link icon in your app drawer . You could be lucky enough to find them.
But i Own a Synology Disk Station.I Use a app from the app store called DS Cloud to backup my s- notes. SO i created a sub folder in the s note directory called my notes. then i sync that folder to my disk station. I do this on my note phone and note tablet.if you have two note devices You can NOT Sync the s- note home directory or you will corrupt the temples as it will sync them across your devices. Learned this the Hard way..
I also sync them to google drive as well Just in case. I use s note for onsite measurements and estimates for Construction Projects . as well as use it to track them as they progress. So i Can NOT take any chances on loosing my notes.
Good Luck with preventing it from happening again . I will watch my backups more closely from now on to insure im always backed up..
Happened to me too
This just happened to me too! I was concerned that I was getting so many notes in snotes, and they are super important, so I setup my Samsung account and set my note3 to sync the snotes... tonight they all are gone!!! I did the chat on Samsung's site and they said there is no way to retrieve them. I'm going to try the undelete options on my sdcard with Easus Data Recovery, hopefully that directory can be recovered.
Updated: Figured out what happened. I had snote installed on my PC which was syncing as well. The default file location was in "My Documents". I moved the documents location from my internal ssd raid0 to my internal 1tb, but it didn't update in the PC snote application. So I updated the path in options to point to the new docments location, and all of the snote files were in there, and synced back to my samsung account, and then back to my phone.
I got lucky. Going to be putting another backup in place for them now.
I had mine back up to Google
I thought I had mine back upain to Google but I can't find them anywhere... this is was deleting folders from my files I checked that they were empty and was deleting away then all 50 of my notes were gone.
My work depends on those notes. This should not have happened, I am in denial that they are gone. Are they not cached or something... it's after 4 am and I won't get sleep till I figure this out

~Possible Solution~ This Worked For Me! cant hurt to try it
Hi everyone, i know this is a old post, but i want to post anyway in case someone runs across this forum as i just had the issue happen a few days ago.
I have a solution that worked for me as I was as frustrated as everybody else sounds.
I hope this works for you too...I may if a update messed with your notes as mine did.
* What I did is go to Application manager / SNote /
then I uninstalled UPDATES
When you reopen S Notes it may act as if you are brand new but don't worry about that,
Open your S Note application/go to all notes/import /from Samsung account
and if your data happens to be somewhere other than your Samsung account be sure to import from there, for instance your Google account, etc...
I got all my 56 notes back :good:
good luck :fingers-crossed:

Google Docs App on Android now allows for Offline caching.
Where is the offline file cached to?
I need to know in case there is a need to copy out to a SD Card.
bump it up
I went to /data/data/com.google.adndroid.apps.docs and opened all the folders in it like 'cache' etc but didn't find the exact files I saved for offline viewing.
Go take a look and tell me if yours are there.
edit: they are in '/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.docs/files/pinned_docs_files_do_not_edit' with no particular file extension. So I guess you would have to convert....
no, it's not there for me either.
Worse yet, even when online, there seems to be no way to just DOWNLOAD the file.
So you can't truly use it like you can with DropBox.
What a disappointment, I was almost about to switch after I found out about Insync.
Edit: you are a genious!
weird, that folder is not there. Even though there are other folders like it:
ie:
com.google.android.apps.maps
com.facebook.katana
edit:
On my Samsung Galaxy S, it appears to be in /sdcard/external_sd/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.docs/files/pinned_docs_files_do_not_edit
The biggest problem now is figuring out which file is which once you have more than a couple files that are set to offline cache.
does renaming them to .docs/xls/ect... help? or opening them with the adequate app?
you have to know what file it is before you know what to rename them as. Seeing as how all files are named by number sequence, there are little to no clues as to what the cached file is.
true
unless you have a ton of files to rename, you can always give it a try.
---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------
any luck with renaming them randomly?
I haven't tried, but before you do, turning off Encryption for offline files might help !
alright will do
I'm having issues with quickpic and was wondering if anyone else had the problem or have a solution. The other day I spent a ton of time "excluding" all the files and folders oF my dropbox and other random files. I open up quickpic and bam! They are all showing again. I haven't flashed a new rom or done anything of the sorts. I just don't understand why it keeps doing it to me and its getting annoying :/ help anyone?

Did you try to uninstall and install Quickpic back? I think that should help, however I`ve never had that problem.
Well it stayed the same after I deleted it so lets see in a few days if they stay excluded :/

In stead of excluding folders (sounds very time consuming), just set it to scan certain folders only. It'll be faster, and you do not run by this risk of something showing up by accident. If excluding and you just change a folder name or if a mount point changes, they will show again.
Mine's just watching camera folder, pics, downloads, and movies. Simple, fast, and I'm in control.
An other advice:
In those few "watched" folders, add folders with a .nomedia file inside. Then stick all the sensitive stuff in there. It'll be hidden in your gallery every time you open quickpic, but you can get them to show up with a few buttons press (settings, show hidden)
They will be hidden automatically next time you open quickpic.
Nice if you got sensitive shots of your missus that you wanna keep for your eyes only, or if you got lots of system png's for customising gui, but you don't want them to clutter your gallery..

Somethings gone wrong on my quickpic and the way it handles dropbox photos.
I used to just have one dropbox folder showing, camera uploads, than last week or started showing loads of other folders from dropbox which I didn't want.
I deleted the cache on both apps and now it won't display anything at all from my dropbox account.
Does anyone know how to get quickpic to show dropbox files again?
Hi All,
the GN 10.1 offers the possibility to add a Photo Note to your pictures. You can essentially "virtually flip" the photo and write on the reverse side. I really like this feature to be able to keep notes together with the photos.
Is is it possible to back up these "flip sides" and keep them in sync if you need to do a reformat of the data and then restore the photos (together with the notes). Where are these located and is it possible to back them up to dropbox.
I have looked around and cold not find them and I could not find any back-up or sync option.
Many Thanks
I'm not sure what app or feature you are referring to, but anyway one should be able to find where the app store its data and then sync that folder using foldersync or some similar application. Try write on a picture, save and go to the folder handler. If sorted by date, the folder that the app is saving in should be on the very top of the folder structure.
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
The app is the standard gallery app on the stock rom. If you are looking at a photo you can go to the menu and there is the function "add photo note". It flips the photo and you can write on the back (just like you could do on the old paper photos). I looked but I just can't find the files. Maybe it is some type of propriety file format instead of a picture format.
I would just like to be able to back up these notes so you don't lose them.
Any ideas anyone.

I checked too and there's just an empty folder saying "image notes". However, when I'm checking the DCIM folder where the images are I can see that the image seemed to be edited the time I did the note, so maybe it's embedding it in the picture somehow. But when I uploaded it to Dropbox and opened it in the galley from there the note where lost so apparently not.. The only thing I can imagine is that the note is a hidden file in the folder and therefore doesn't show, have you tried using the computer or another file browser?
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
Yes the same thing happened to me when I tried to restore the photo. Shame really, I really like just writing on the back of the photos but if I can't backup them up or even export them I just fear they will go lost and therfore the function has only short time limited use. I don't have access to a laptop for a few weeks so I can't check it from the laptop.
Thanks for looking and trying. Really appreciate it.

Love this file manager. Everyone should be using this. Only thing that seems to confuse people, if you wanna copy of move a file to a different location, the file has to be selected from one side, and the destination has to be selected on the other side, then you hit copy of move and it will send it to that location. I usually just keep internal on one side, external on the other, and you can pop things back and forth. Works the same for sending files to cloud storage. However dropsync is the app I most use for that, large files seem to transfer more easily than in file managers. Smaller files work just fine tho.

I've been using this app since the glory days of s60v3. all other file manager apps just look like a confusing mess to me compared to x-plore and I don't ever see the day coming when I'll drop it.
that said there does seem to be some kind of changes in google's file system that x-plore hasn't kept up with. moving and copying files on marshmallow roms made after roughly Jan/Feb 2016 has the exact same issues for me on 2 phones. one is an s4 i9505 running custom and the other is an m8 on HTC made google edition firmware. that stops me thinking it's rom related.
without me even describing the issue in any detail do others out there know what I'm talking about ?
does anyone with a real dev level of understanding know specifically what the cause is ? if so I'd like to share that info with the dev at LCG and to bring the app back to it's former and fully deserved glory...

I switched from ES to X-plore.
To be honest, ES is more user friendly. X-plore is more like Total Commander, dual-panel styled file manager, which is more geeky.
Features are about the same, but X-plore is better for zip/archive management. I love disk map too, much faster than storage analyzer in ES. Also, ES is a adware/bloatware now, always sending data to servers in China.

no that wasn't what I meant. specifically it's copying and moving files from anywhere to anywhere now results in a kind of hang for up to half an hour depending on the file size. you can leave the process to run in the background or even interrupt it and cancel it (most of the time it will be completed unless you marked more than one file). even if you've cancelled the move or copy and killed the app the notification will stay up for about half an hour before finally deciding it's completed with a toast to confirm it.
in the early days moving one file within the same memory was instant as the index was updated rather than moving anything. once this stopped being the case this weird error began it's journey.
I also use profimail from same author. Great apps

Well, as of 60 days form now, free sugarsync accounts will be forced to be paid, and we have 6 days to take advantage of a special 19$ for the first year / 75$ per year after that for 60 gb.... For anyone who has used the sugarsync app on android, you know that most bugs that did not render the app unusable, and many fairly basic feature requests were ignored over the past two years (see the whole syncing to SD card debacle). I get that the idea is more money - less free-loaders = better service, but there is no way that I will pay before they can prove they can provide a solid service. So.... Let's share our alternatives for those who need to rework their file syncing setup!
In the last 3 hours since I got my sugarsync ultimatum, I have found 3 possibilities (one that works great, and two that I have not fully tested yet).
1- (works great! better than sugarsync)
-Use google drive (15GB minimum if you haven't gotten some bonus of some kind over the years for being early adopters)
-This allows you to use drive sync on desktops
-You can then use Foldersync to sync on your android device
2-
Goodsync. This is paid software, but I prefer one time payments for a system I control. This is more of a "sync when you need" setup, and won't do everything automatically for you on android (but it will on desktops), but allows for unlimited space because you use your computer's hard drive as your main source of data... down side, the goodsync android app is still a long way from being on par with the sugarsync or the foldersync apps
3-
Other services with folder sync (paid version if you want to use multiple accounts at once). I have not yet tried it with services other than google drive, but I do use a similar services on my desktop that consolidate cloud drives, so I don't see why it would not work on android. If the storage provider you want to use does not support syncing, the goodsync app for desktop connects to almost any online storage provider, so you can have a reliable way to sync to the cloud, and then foldersync does the equivalent job on your android device.
Once people have added their alternatives, I will create a poll so fellow users can see the favorite solutions at a glance.
Cheers!
Uninstalling SugarSync tonight!
you can try Google drive or dropbox

problem with google drive android app is that you have to manually sync each file, which is not so good if your goal is to have important files accessible at all times. I am quite happy with the drive + foldersync app though.
How is dropbox as far as selective folder syncing?
I'm getting to learn more and more about Dropbox since it came with a generous bonus storage on the Note 2 -if only for 2 years or so.
Also I read about Copy.com which comes with a 15gigs free + 5gig referral bonus (use the link in my sig if anyone wants both of us to benefit) though I'm not quite sure how well the sync'ing is so far. I think you can sync specific files but haven't fully tested it yet.
Mediafire is funny in that they are advertising their services anywhere there is new about Sugarsync giving up free plans but I haven't looked into them yet.
I'm also open to see what other people are using.
I've been using dropbox for a few years and upgraded to business package for my company since a few months ago. It works great for us.
Dropbox + Dropsync
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
does anyone else doing this find that dropsync has a hard time keeping large folders up to date? For my biggest one it takes nearly 40 minutes to confirm that nothing has changed.
i'm using Google Drive and Dropbox
I'll be moving to Dropbox and Google drive for things like documents, temporary storage of photos, titanium backups, etc. I've started using Crashplan for backing up my very large photo and video archive.
Sugarsync was nice, but as someone who's heavily promoted them and have dozens of referrals to my name, I feel betrayed that they would do this, even as a paying costumer who uses free accounts for my daughter and wife.

Check out Folder Sync, I was going to buy Dropsync but Folder Sync seems more versatile and cheaper.
I've moved to Copy
I've moved to Copy with it's 20GB free file sync & sharing with this referral link. It's like dropbox but with 10x more free storage. It has a single folder like Dropbox. I've used junction.exe from sysinternals to map from some of my existing folder locations to the Copy folder.
I particularly like that it has a feature that was missing in Sugarsync and that is 'view only' sharing.

From the description on the play store it seems only photos and videos are automatically synced....

Hi Soda,
I started out using Copy on PC first, I placed a few files in my Copy directory on my PC. When I installed the Copy app on my Android phone it automatically copied all of my files onto my Phone. So it by default sync'd all my files between my PC and my phone. In the app settings you can tick an option called 'PhotoCopy' which then automatically copies all new photos taken on your phone into your Copy folder and sync's them to the cloud (by default it does this only on wifi connectivity).
I hope this helps,
All the best,
Cheers,
Mark
I'm still looking at alternatives. The option to sync any folder and choose with whom to share it was the best thing from Sugarsync service.
From what I read only 3 other companies give the same option directly:
Bitcasa
Tresorit
Wuala
Anyone uses/used one of these services?
I use Dropbox, however I combine it with FolderSync on Android together with "App Backup & Restore" so that my newly installed apps can be synced to Dropbox right away. I recommend this combination.
@marky1124
Thanks for the reply, it's what I wanted to know .
@Karsa
I will look into the alternatives and give a feedback. But for now, I'm using Foldersync with Skydrive.
Although I'm really sorry to see SugarSync go, I believe Dropbox is the best alternative way to go.
