I have been testing the sync feature to google docs/drive of all my notes. What I noticed is after I sync the first time I try adding another word to note and sync again, it deletes what I just wrote. Please advise if you guys are experiencing this issue or advise if Im doing it wrong.
Here is what I do:
1. Create note and write something
2. Save note
3. Go back to S-Note screen where all notes are and select Sync
4. Choose the new note and click sync
So far so good. I see it in Google drive.
5. Open note back up and write a word or something
6. Repeated steps 3-4
This time, my new change has been deleted and now shows what I initially committed. ??
Hey guys, quick update. Guess Sync only works one way on S-Note which is why I had issue.
I ended up creating a dropbox account and download app called dropsync. Dropsync allows me to do 2 way sync and does so automatically. Now when I add notes, create new ones, or delete one, dropsync will ensure to sync with drop box.
Pretty legit I must say.
I use an app called Folder SYnc and it will do two way sync. Use with several Cloud accounts. There is a free version and it is a great app.
What file format are you saving them in? Just curius if you are using thr .snb format and if you are able to view those files on a pc.

Same question here, I am asking me if it is possible to edit .snb file on Google Doc or with a Windows app. Otherwise, the sync is only a backup solution, but no more...
Im syncing them as .snb so you can just consider it a backup. At the moment, I dont think there is a PC application that will allow you to modify the files. Im hoping Samsung will make their kies software have access to open .snb files from PC.

I sync SNote using GDrive between Note N7000 and Note 10.1 without any issues.

I tried the same and it works
However I noticed one issue,
If I edit a note that has been createdin the other device the whole thing goes wrong
the page and everything is still there but I loose the part of the note created in the original device.
so it looks like viewing is fine but you can not edit the same note across different devices

This is the BEST solution. Works very well. The syncing which comes with S-Notes should be avoided at all costs. Evernote and Google Docs are very incomplete and difficult to use. Dropbox rules.
A similar solution for your PC.
The only problem in using Dropbox with your PC is that the files you want synced must be in your Dropbox folder.
Well, actually no. You can create "symbolic links" from any folder on your PC to your Dropbox Folder so that Dropbox will sync them. This can be VERY convenient if you have large document or database files you wish to keep synced but don't wish the originals to live in your Dropbox Folder.
This is VERY easy to achieve with something called "Link Shell Extension" found here:
http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/hardlinkshellext.html#contact
Just follow the directions. It talks about doing "hard links" but I have found doing "symbolic links" works just fine. Once installed, you simply right click the folder you wish to link to drop box and select it as your link folder. Then you right click your Dropbox Folder and select that as the destination. Then if you open your Dropbox Folder it will appear that the folder you have just linked is there, but it's not, it is in its original location but now Dropbox will sync it.
Cool, right?
P.S., make sure you get your free 50 GB of space from Dropbox first

Do not be so critical, for a simple backup, it is far easier to use the sync included in S-Notes than the Dropbox solution...
IF we could use the .snb with a software on a PC, perhaps it could be interesting to use Dropbox, but really, without any possibility to edit, don't complicate your life, use simply the backup solution included in S-Notes :angel:

With all due respect you are wrong.
The built in syncing does not properly account for upstream and downstream updating.
For instance, if you use the built in sync feature you can literally never delete any notes locally as the sync action will simply restore the ones you have deleted. Try deleting a note that has been previosly synced using the stock feature then run a sync again. I reappears.
Drop Sync works properly. If you have deleted a file locally it will not replace that file when you do your sync and the deleted file will be removed from your Dropbox account as well.
As such your Dropbox becomes a mirror image of your device. This is how syncing as opposed to just backing up is supposed to work. You can also control this behavior even further in options if you like. In addition you can command Drop Sync to sync automatically in the background at regular intervals.

No Solution: Syncing / Editing and then Syncing S-Note to Google Drive?
Well, I described my issue here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203479
Background: My company is a Google Apps for Business enterprise user and I need handrwritten to text notes for a lot of meetings. The ideal solution is using Google Keep, or S-Notes with S-Pen and then sync to Google Drive.
Situation: 1) When I use Google Keep everything works fine until I open the document in the Drive and it is a Polaris, or Kings Office file format, not Google Docs - and not editable; 2) When I use S-Note, everything works until I open, edit and try to re-save the file within Google Drive. I get an error message: "failed to save document" and then I get "Saved /data/data/com.google.android.apps.docs/cache2/......"
The Solution: I can write directly into a Googls Doc using the S-Pen but prefer using Google Keep, or S-Notes.
From reading this thread it appears no one is successfully using Google Keep with S-Pen, or S-Note to save / sync documents to Google Drive; edit those documents; and then re-save, or re-sync to Google Drive?
Thank you!
It does appear that NoteSync is the best approach to have notes SYNC with Google Drive

Out of all the services I like SugarSync the best. I can sync my S-Note folder and it will automatically sync new notes and keep them up to date if I make revisons so it is a set and forget back up solution. If you want to try it use the referral link below and we can both get an extra 500mb.

Where is the "local folder" for snote?
to sync s-note
I have tried and tried many apps and methods to sync s-note across devices. ONLY THING i have found to work.
I use a app called DS Cloud for my Synology server.
I Created a folder on the server called snote
I created a folder in my snote directory on my note 10.1 and note 2 phone.
Reason for this is IS if you sync from the default location you will sync templets There are different template Version of S- NOTE ON Each device.
So once i did the above i Told ds cloud on the desk station to share that folder .
on each device i have to sync the folder i called my notes inside the s- note folder. That way is does NOT Sync the templets and app information.
To get them to google drive. From my Disk station i sync the snote foilder with my google drive account.. This is just for a Just incase my home internet is down.
The issue your having with notes being over written between devices i think is because different s note versions..
Hope this help anyone. its only way i can get it to work properly for me.
OHH I LOVE Synology disk station.
Just attempted to sync my S-Notes with Evernote. It says they have synced correctly.
However, when I open the Evernote app nothing is showing up and there is a message at the bottom left stating that syncing has failed. I tried adding a folder directly to Evernote from within the app and it crashed.
Any ideas?
Hmmm, ok well the syncing is showing up on my laptop version of Evernote but not my tablet version. odd.
Also, apparently it is syncing them as .snb files which Evernote apparently cannot display. What am doing wrong here? Why is it exporting my S-Notes to Evernote in an unreadable format?

I would consider dropping OneNote and moving to Evernote if you could get me the anser to that. I tried the same thing, but it does me no good to have my notes synced to Evernote if I cannot open them on my PC and see them on my evernote app on the tablet.

From what I have been reading online S-Notes created using the Note appear perfectly within Evernote. I am assuming those notes have the same file format and extension. Weird wonder what the issue is.
I can't seem to find a thing online discussing the SGN10 and Evernote.
** Same thing with Google Docs. It doesn't recognize the file extension and can't display the content.
I am trying to figure out why Samsung wants us to sync our notes to two services which cannot read the format?????

No one else is having Evernote issues? As far as I can tell Evernote doesn't recognize the snb file extension and won't display s notes content. This is very odd since s note recommends syncing with something that has no idea what it is.
I've seen videos of people syncing their Note with Evernote and it works fine.

I'm having the same issue. Just testing out the Galaxy Note 10.1 to see how it fits into my workflow and wondering if I can happily replace the keyboard/shell design of my Transformer. Part of that is notes sync which I was trilled to see but I cannot open them in Evernote. Anyone know how to open one of these snb files in Evernote?

Unfortunately not possible. You can store them in Evernote and use that to sync with other devices which support .snb but you cannot view them. Have no idea why Samsung chose the very obscure .snb standard for Snotes. This makes Dropbox a better solution because youc an sync using DropSync for the Market.
My guess is that Samsung is forching us to own other Samsung devices which can read their very specialized .snb files.

Bummer. Are there any S-pen enabled note applications that can sync to Evernote (or via Dropsync) and open on the PC? I know I can always export them, but would prefer a solution that can regularly update notes as I write them for easy reference rather than exporting each time I make changes/additions.
I would also like that solution.

Sync: Had that for a day, too, on both the Talley and phone, looks like something was broken somewhere. Works again now.
snb: these are basically zip files with JPEG pictures for each page and some additional info in xml files. Rename to .zip and open as usual. Of course, this doesn't give you notebooks, but the info is there, and you could even make pdfs of them.

If you are going to do all that you may as well just save .PDF copies from Snotes.

Lol. True. Wasn't thought as a work solution, but a disaster recovery, e.g. in case of a lost phone/tablet. You can then still get at your notes, until you have snote available again, without having to export each note after each change...

as disaster backup i recommend Samsung Kies Smemo and Snote backup. Works perfectly and is fully restorable if you need it.
I do this once a week.

I guess that's the same case for Asus and their supernote. It's also in snb format and I tried copying the file into my Note10.1. It apparently is encrypted or something. Requires a password
the whole GALAXY to NOTE about...counting down from 10 to 1.
I have been getting the 'sync failed' message since at least yesterday (hadn't paid attention to it before then). Was there a fix for that, or did it work itself out?

Hi,
I use my Tab to take notes and do design sketches quite a lot.
I've been using Evernote on my Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Nexus Prime and on my Laptop all this time very successfully. Evernote has all the features I need and I have found it to be very useful so far.
However, recently, I got myself a Note 10.1 and I love using the S Pen to write down notes and do drawings/sketches etc. And I use S Note as well for this.
I need to be able to access my notes, etc from any of my devices and be able to edit/save them as necessary (which I can do easily with Evernote). Unfortunately, Evernote does not support the S Pen and all the advantages it brings with it (S Pen).
So, is there any way of achieving the same level versatility that Evernote offers with S Note as well? Or, is there some other app that I could use to take down notes using the S Pen and then be able to use it from anywhere?
I suppose one solution would be to use a Word Doc and share it over Dropbox. However, for me, that doesn;t offer the same note taking experience as Evernote or S Note.
Highly appreciate any feedback on this.
Regards,
i take notes with s note or lecture note and then export them to evernote..I dont think there is a better app for organize notes, then evernote

foldersync
I have a server that I can ssh/sftp files to and I use foldersync lite to backup my SNotes directory automatically. I also save critical notes as pdf files and also back them up to the same server and then pull the notes to my pc and other devise.
I was wondering if there were any decent note apps for the phone. I just ordered one off Amazon. I use to use my iPod nano as a note app. I would write down notes and save them and jpgs and load them on my nano to see them through the gallery. Just wondering if there's an easy way of loading notes or writting notes on this here watch.
My suggestion: Smartnote
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.smartwatch2.smartnote
This is a dedicated note-writing app for Android that posts your selected notes to the SmartWatch 2 The advantage over SmartWatch Note Extension (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.simthing.weardevice.sony.smartwatch.notes) is that it syncs with the phone/tablet notes, so you don't have to re-send and delete following an edit. The disadvantage is that it doesn't sync with a web app like Google Keep.
sweet, this might work. I will have to check this out once I get my Smartwatch, thanks!
I've used dropsync to sync the .ActionMemo folders on my note 3 and note 12.2, and all the files appear to have copied across, but when I open action memo I can only see the memos created by that particular device.
Any ideas why it can't see the memos created by the other device that have synced across?
The same technique used to work fine with s-note...
Thanks
I wish it worked also. Try downloading one of the synced files, opposite device, and see if it opens as an action memo.
