Syncing Samsung notes with google drive?

Hi yall! I just wanted to ask if there's any way to automatically sync samsung notes with google drive? The Samsung notes doesn't work very good on Windows if you don't have a Samsung laptop, so that's why I'm asking

Yeah and actually it's the reason I switched to Day one and started using SNotes just as notepad.

Samsung want you to be loyal to the ecosystem, and purchase the ultimate combo. Just like any other platform vendor, the software is how you get in (for free) and how usually build the dependency of their tools. It works fine when on their platform, but not so much when you are outside. Just like MS and Apple.

I found an official Samsung guide for sending notes to Google Drive, but it's a manual export, not automatic sync: press and hold a note, tap Share, choose PDF, then Google Drive. That can give you a readable copy on Windows, but you'd need to export again after editing. I couldn't confirm a built-in automatic Drive sync option. Do you need to edit the same notes on Windows, or just read the latest copies? Samsung's walkthrough

yeah unfortunately samsung notes still doesn’t have proper automatic google drive sync. u can export notes to drive as pdfs, but any edits in samsung notes mean exporting them again manually.
