When you use the current clients, you don't have to think about "files" at all, only notebooks, which are always backed up in the cloud and synced across all your devices.

OneNote has evolved into a cloud based service with cross-platform clients for web, mobile, and desktop. Yes, but I think you may have an outmoded way of thinking about OneNote. It is notable that OneNote does not let you do this. It also means it is easy to create local backups of your notes via file histor. This means you can save your notes to DropBox or OneDrive or just locally.

It lets you choose the save location (default is in the AppData folder).I probably should add I am in no way associated with the app, but just thought there might be people who would appreciate this here. just a personal preference, but the pencil doesn't modify itself based on tilt, which is actually something I find a little annoying in OneNote.Again, simple features OneNote doesn't have. Making the paper black automatically makes the black ink white and vice versa. to top it all off, it even has a dark mode.It's infinite page is naturally partitioned into page-sized chunks and makes exporting (and thus sharing) of notes intuitive and simple. Easy export to PDF!! One GIANT issue with OneNote is that exporting an infinite page to PDF means it chops your notes up in unpredictable ways.You are also free to organize your own notes as you see fit on your filesystem.

It solves a number of issues I have with OneNote as a pen-based note taking platform (overall, its a much simpler app, so definitely not a replacement for hard core OneNote fans): It's an update to an older app Scrble that was made for Win 8.
