Does not sync correctly, ever! Never works, and it just scrapped 8hours of notes i have made for a report that dissapeared into cyberspace..... This is not the first time, I WILL NEVER USE ONENOTE AGAIN! Can not be trusted.
Imagine drawing a diagram, carefully crafting its existence. Now, imagine trying to make a small tweak, smoothing out a line. Of course, you miss. Pressing the undo button, your screen stares blankly at you like a confused llama. 10 seconds later, one note is apparently (Not responding). You then decide to use the eraser tool instead, clicking the eraser. Again, the wind whistles in the trees, but nothing changes on the screen. Minutes later, one note finally responds. Please, just use Microsoft Paint.
It really looks like people at Microsoft are trying everything they can to push users away from OneNote and to Microsoft 360.OneNote is currently close to unusable, with notes' status suddenly turning to "Read-only", zero searchability ability, etc.It's amazing how massive companies like Microsoft cannot understand that allowing people to use one tiny (and old) software for free can draw them to upgrade to other (not free) software later.OneNote should be free because they have put zero R&D effort in it for years, so it's basically paid for.I am frankly fed up with this software and lucky I have an Obsidian subscription, so I'm moving all my important stuff to an encrypted Obsidian note.Good riddance, OneNote.
As a standalone note taking tool, it's fantastic. Awesome capabilities, for most of it well thought and easy to use...BUT if you don't store on OneDrive you'll get innumerable issues, from OneNote moving your notebook there behind your back to innumerable syncing issuesAND when you've finally moved your notebook there and after several month seamless work, one day syncing issue again with almost no other option than to copy your sections (and sometimes down at pages level) one by one in a fresh notebookFINALLY when you want to get out of it and move your info out (e.g. importing in Obsidian or other) you face bandwidth limitations down to few kB/s (same for OneDrive by the way. So moving out is a pain in the *$#!So my advice is don't get locked insidiously in that M$ ecosystem which looks very nice at first try but do not scale nor is stable over time, which is invaded with limited user control by Copilot AI, and which recently showed how it's under US political control (look at what happened to the head of International Criminal Court, which had all his Windows accounts suspended on a simple injunction of US executive power)Or buy a standalone version out of Office365 - while it's still available - and use it locally...
Microsoft Office: A Data DisasterI recently lost five years of crucial data while using Microsoft Office. It was a devastating experience that has left me feeling betrayed. The support team seemed completely unsurprised by my issue, as if this was a common occurrence. Their lack of empathy and urgency made it clear that they don't truly care about individual users.I'm switching to Google Workspace immediately. Their reputation for reliability and customer service is far superior to Microsoft's.
