And many of these problems are fairly serious, with data security implications, and may take a long time to discover. Well, there are many people for whom Joplin genuinely works great.īut there's also been a huge Joplin promotion push by the people who are strong believers in FOSS and maintaining control of their own data, who tend to completely gloss over (or never bring up) some of its underlying problems. Inventory - manuals, receipts, service records, home projects.įinancial (has an unprotected Inbox section for quick addition of notes, and encrypted sections for Banks, Cards etc.)įamily records - scans of important documents of historic and sentimental value

Pile - a pile of miscellaneous records, this is also where I keep my Quick Notes section (“inbox”) Here‘s how my personal data is organized in notebooks: Think of Evernote as a giant pile of loose records connected by tags, and OneNote as a giant outline where every record has a specific place. This makes it less unwieldy, helps to speed up the initial sync and minimize sync issues (whatever issues you may encounter will be localized), gives you better control over what data you want synced to what device.īasically, if EN is built around tags, ON is built around organizational structure. It has global search across all notebooks (CTRL+E), so it makes more sense to break notes into notebooks organized by logical categories. You can of course move sections then delete notebooks, but I’d suggest saving them as an offline backup.Īlso, keeping all of your notes in one giant notebook, while possible, is probably not the most efficient use of ON. Assuming you‘re using 2016 desktop version: Select sections in one notebook, copy them to your “master” notebook, wait for it to sync, close the first notebook. Maybe there is a way to then merge OneNote Notebooks?
