Working with your notebook on OneDrive

Microsoft has created a fantastic online world for you. With one username, you are connected to all Microsoft applications. In the case of OneDrive, you have a convenient place for your personal files as well as OneNote notebooks.

When you use the OneNote application on any of your devices, any notebook you create is stored in OneDrive.

If you create a notebook from your smartphone or tablet, you will be prompted to select a location for storing that notebook. The location choices consist of the following:

  • OneDrive - Personal
  • OneDrive - for school or work (it will display your work or school name)

If you create a notebook from your computer, then that notebook will be saved onto the OneDrive account that is noted in your computer settings, under Accounts, as described in Chapter 1, OneNote - How and Where to Use it?. In other words, that notebook is saved to the same location as the files that you save onto OneDrive.
