Today a friend reached out to me asking how he can change where his OneNote Notebook is stored. He uses a Mac computer and Office for Mac. The answer took some time to figure out and I could not find a solution anywhere else.
The Problem with Changing the OneNote Notebook Location in Office for Mac The issue starts when you create a new OneNote notebook using Office for Mac on your computer. You cannot change the location when the notebook is created, and pretty soon you have a bunch of OneNote folders in the top level of your OneDrive. This is not ideal. Many people want to store their OneNote Notebooks along with other project files.
After clicking around OneNote for Mac, we discovered there is no way to change the location of a notebook like there is in the Windows version of OneNote. Next, we went to OneDrive in the browser.
We tried to move the OneNote file through the browser, but that just broke the sync in the Office for Mac OneNote client. How to Change the OneNote Location in Office for Mac Here is the solution for how to change the location of your OneNote files, so you can store them in any OneDrive or SharePoint location. This solution works for both Office 365 subscriptions and OneDrive Personal. Always create new OneNote notebooks from the browser. Navigate to the folder where you want the OneNote notebook to live.
Outline can open.one (section files),.onepkg (OneNote notebook packages) and.onetoc2 (notebook table of contents) files. The rendering of OneNote documents is impressive with most of the formatting perfectly preserved and it can also sync with OneNote for Mac and OneNote for iPad via Microsoft OneDrive. Why my OneNote which download from onenote.com cannot create a new local notebook? Answer: The OneNote download and install from onenote.com is a free edition. The free edition of OneNote is intended for use with notebooks stored on OneDrive only.
Click New - OneNote. This will open a new OneNote notebook in the browser.
Click Edit in OneNote at the top of the page. This will open the Office for Mac OneNote client on your computer. Your OneNote Notebook is syncing from your preferred location. Troubleshooting OneNote Locations in Office for Mac Here are some other tips that may help you:. If you already have a OneNote notebook created in Office for Mac and would like to move it, you will need to do this from the browser. In the OneDrive browser, check the box next to the file you would like to move. On the top toolbar, click move, and select the new location.

You will then need to close the notebook in Office for Mac and reopen it using the method above. Otherwise, your sync will be broken. If you are trying to share the notebook with someone always share it from the browser. It doesn’t always work when you share from the Office for Mac client.
