If the names on the accounts are the same, it may be unclear in the Android app which account you are logged in with, and you cannot change the account once OneNote is set up. OneNote does not provide an easy view to which OneDrive a notebook is stored on, and the Android app only allows access to one personal Microsoft account (as opposed to a business account, such as may be associated with an Office 365 subscription), even though it appears to give the option to do this.

One more note: If you are using multiple personal Microsoft accounts, be aware that this can cause some challenges if you use notebooks stored on OneDrive under different accounts. If you have shared notes in Evernote (see Step 2 below), you need to be aware of this limitation before proceeding.ĬAVEAT: This procedure requires a fair bit of manual intervention, and may not be practical for a large number of notebooks. See this link for information on how to password protect sections: ĬAVEAT: OneNote only shares notebooks, not sections or pages (notes). You can only password protect sections (not entire notebooks or individual notes), and results from locked sections will not show up in search results. I am not sure what Evernote currently has for password protection functionality, but there are some gotchas in OneNote. The current version of OneNote for Android typically requires Android OS 4.1 (Jelly Bean), and may not run on older versions, whereas Evernote may run on older versions. If you have nested notebooks in Evernote, you will have to export them individually.Īs with any application, be sure to check all of your devices for compatibility with OneNote before deciding to migrate.

You should be aware that OneNote 2013 does not support nested notebooks (although it has an extra level with "Sections" (tabs in notebooks) that Evernote does not). The instructions are based on the installed Windows version of OneNote 2013 (on Windows 7). There are a few gotchas along the way, but this How-To should help you avoid a lot of the trial and error that I went through.

I recently decided to completely migrate from Evernote to Microsoft OneNote.
