Backup and Restore SNotes

**rcaban01** · 10-02-2012, 11:13 AM

My main use for this awesome tablet is to take notes during meetings, etc. Heavy note taking. My fear is losing notes if I lost the tablet or it crashed. What is your approach to backing up the tablet? I noticed a Backup in Settings on the tablet, but it's vague. I know something is getting backed up to my Google Account. Could I backup and restore from Dropbox. Key question - How do you backup this tablet which includes media, applications and applications data. My apologies if this has been answered, could not get good search results for this. Thank you in advance.

I would suggest uploading them to a folder in dropbox. Haven't seen an option for it to be done automatically though...would be interested if it was available.

You can import them back into Snote but has to be done individually.

Thank you SOCAL. I will try and add them to Dropbox folder, just not sure how to get them back from Dropbox. Shouldn't be more than a copy/paste. You're right, would be nice to have an automated backup solution. Hopefully, someone can shed some light on what is actually backed up to my Google account from the Tablet because it looks like it backs up something, just not sure if it's including the SNotes data files.

I was looking this up online and found a solution on the xda forums. There is an app called dropsync in the play store. That syncs both ways with dropbox. Someone also mentioned an app called foldersync which does same thing. I haven't tried either yet, but am going to, since looking for same thing as you.

Thank you. DS works great so far.

Is it working with your SNote files? If so, I"ll have to give it a try.

Actually I tried drop sync free version last night, only allows you to set one folder to sync and had a 5mb file size limit. You have to get the paid version for more folders to sync and larger file sizes.
I'm using it just to sync my s notes to drop box. I still have to share or export as jpeg or pdf files though, since when I save in the s note format .snb, it says not able to open on the galaxy note tablet. Which I don't understand, since s note should be able to open its own files.

I have tried to find a backup app that will backup my s notes folders...I haven't found on yet...I would like to backup folders to skydrive or another cloud server. An ideas?

From within the S Notes app, there is a sync function. Select the menu button in the top right corner ans select Sync. This gives you the option to sync to google drive or evernote. I sync mine to google drive and it works well. Syncing to evernote leaves you with unmodifiable items in evernote.

the only downside to this method is it isn't automatic.
