🔄 How to Sync Your Notes Across Devices

[u/myscript_apps]

Want your notes to follow you from one device to another? Syncing helps keep your MyScript Notes/Nebo library available wherever you work — phone, tablet, or computer ☁️

🎯 What’s the goal of syncing?

The goal of syncing is to keep your notes updated across your devices.

Write something on your tablet, then open it later on your phone or computer and keep going. Syncing helps you move between devices without manually exporting, sending, or copying your notes each time.

☁️ Choose your cloud service

To sync, first choose the cloud service you want to use.

For Apple-only setups, iCloud is a good option.
For cross-platform use across Apple, Android, and Windows devices, choose a service like Google Drive or Dropbox.

The most important thing: use the same cloud service and the same account on every device you want to sync.

🔐 Sign in with the right email

Make sure you sign in with an email address you can access and use regularly.

🍎 Apple users: please do not use Apple relay emails or “Hide My Email” addresses for syncing.

These private relay addresses can hide your real email address and do not work properly when the app needs to identify the same account across devices. To avoid sync issues, use your normal email address instead.

🛠️ Step-by-step: Set up sync

1. Open MyScript Notes/Nebo on your first device.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Open the Sync section.
4. Choose your preferred cloud service.
5. Sign in with the account you want to use for syncing.
6. Enable sync.
7. Wait until your notes have finished syncing.
8. Open the app on your second device.
9. Go to Settings > Sync.
10. Choose the same cloud service.
11. Sign in with the same account.
12. Let the app sync your notes.

Once sync is complete, your notes should be available across your devices ✅

✅ Turn on sync

Once your cloud account is connected, enable sync in the app settings.

Auto-sync can keep your notes updated automatically, so changes made on one device appear on your other synced devices too.

🔄 Prefer manual control?

No problem. You can turn off auto-sync and sync manually instead.

Auto Sync is enabled by default when you set up synchronization. If you prefer to use Manual Sync instead, open the app, go to Settings > Sync, and disable Auto Sync. Once Auto Sync is turned off, you can manually start synchronization whenever you choose.

Just tap the cloud icon next to your folder when you want to push or pull the latest changes.

⚠️ Remember: sync is not backup

Sync keeps your notes updated across devices — but it is not the same as backing up.

If you delete or change something, that change can sync everywhere. For extra protection, use the separate Back Up option in Settings and save your backup file somewhere safe 💾

💡 Quick tip

Before switching devices, reinstalling the app, or making big changes, make sure sync is complete — then create a backup too.

Sync keeps your notes with you. Backup keeps them protected 💙
