My Google Pixel Tablet had a popup that something had changed with Google Keep, which I had never used. Never even opened it. I clicked on the popup, it opened Keep, and I had a bunch of notes in there. Some I don’t know where they are from, they are my notes, but I don’t know where I wrote them originally. But all of my Apple Notes are in there. I haven’t used Apple Notes seriously in years, but occasionally I jot something down in there.
I made a new note in AN, and it has not shown up in Google Keep, yet.
I can’t find anything in Google settings or an internet search about how or where Keep syncs with other apps. There are no settings for syncing.
I do have my Google account active on some computers/iPads, but I only use it for Gmail occasionally (quit using it years ago).
Anyone have any idea how Google got my Apple Notes?
Maybe I had that clicked at some point (or still do on some device) and it moved my AP notes to Gmail, and now Gmail is syncing with GoogleKeep?
Although it synced with something else as well (I can’t figure out where those notes are for the life of me, but I use Google, Microsoft, and Apple products, so it could be anything). I wonder if I had an app available on both platforms that synced them. The oldest notes in GoogleKeep are from last November, when I got the Pixel and tried apps like Todist,
For all I know, selecting “Notes” in an Internet Account enables a specific section in AN with their own set of notes for that account, though I guess with limited functionality. It’s easy to have it ON and start adding notes there. See, particularly, the section dedicated to a Microsoft Exchange identity.
But then I have to correct myself because notes in those sections (there is a work G Suite account) do not appear in Google Keep, only in a Gmail label called “Notes” as @wayneg stated
If you have found a way to sync anything on your Mac with Google Keep let me know.
I’ve been a Gmail user for twenty years but I rarely used anything but mail, contacts, and calendar until I started using my iPad as my primary computer. Today I use the entire Google Workspace suite with the exception of Slides. (I haven’t made a Powerpoint or Keynote slide since 2000. AFAIK none of my users at my last company did either.) I currently have 539 notes in Google Keep and back them up every week or two by creating a single Doc file containing all of them and downloading it as a 90+ page MS Word file.
I wish I know, and it’s not currently syncing, so it must have been a one off event.
I thought maybe Todoist, but it doesn’t sync with notes from Apple or Google. It wasn’t Gmail since the notes in questions are not there. This is driving me nuts, but I can’t find any apps that I set up both accounts with. I don’t have many cross platform apps.
