Would need separate files in GD for that.Ģ) Onenote makes it easy to take notes or annotate pictures and pdfs.

I can have a pdf file, excel spreadsheet, and hand sketch all together. No / minimal conversion required.ġ) Onenote is the greatest in how it allows combining all different kinds of information and notes on one page. I have 8GB from past promotions.Ī big advantage of a file-folder based setup is that it can be quickly and easily moved to another cloud solutuion. For some people, the default 2 GB it offers isn't going to be enough.

The reason I don't just use DP directly is that it's blocked at work, + it doesn't do OCR search inside files unless you buy an expensive PRO subscription. An added advantage is that now the data is backed up to another cloud. I went around this by using CloudHQ to sync GD to Dropbox (which does have a Linux client). Getting GD to sync to a Linux system is not an easy task. The encryption and password protection of sensitive data can be handled by Cryptomator - a free and (I think) open source cross-platform tool. It has a built-in OCR for PDFs and images, and the file folder structure can replace the notebook-section-page. One alternative would be to put everything in Google Drive. The one that works for Windows, Linux, iOS, Android. So, I've been looking at a truly cross-platform solution. However, lately I've been contemplating moving my desktop to Linux Mint, and ON doesn't work there.

I love Onenote - it's the best at what it does - and it's also almost cross-platform. It must sync between iPhone and Mac (I don't care about a web interface), and I would prefer to have control over where the data is stored (yes, I do trust Apple more than MS for privacy -although I would prefer my own server).Īnyways, I'm just curious if there are any alternatives I haven't heard of. I've tried, among others: Evernote, Notes.app (Apple), Curio, CircusPonies (defunct), Growly Notes, and SimpleNote. The closest I've found is Notebooks.app (by Alfons), but the presentation still leaves much to be desired. And I'm not looking for a dumping ground, I'm want something more resembling a journal or lab notebook.

Sorry, but I don't want to -search- for notes, notebooks make sense for a reason: the brain remembers things spatially quite well. Most 'note' alternatives out there follow the completely useless Evernote model, where notes just pile up on top of each other, with little structure other than folders (and tags). I'm a Mac/iPhone OneNote user, and although I enjoy most of the features, I enjoy neither the bloat nor the fact that I have to use MS's servers for sync.
