Sync Samsung Notes with Microsoft OneNote

If your Samsung Notes app is full of important folders, notes, and tasks, you can make sure they'll never get lost by using Microsoft OneNote. This service allows you to sync your notes across all of your devices so you can view them from Microsoft Office on a PC. You’ll just need to make sure you’re signed in to your Microsoft account on your Galaxy phone or tablet. You can sync the Reminder app with Microsoft To Do as well, if you’d like to view both your notes and reminders using Office.
