☁️What’s on my mind
Cloud services need not to be very complicated. Migrating data from your home or office computer to the cloud can be as easy as moving a few files to the OneDrive. OneNote migration from local computer storage to the cloud really is simple as that. Copying and pasting, and then reopening notebooks from the new location.
A cloud skeptic said to me the other day: “What? OneNote notebooks are just files? It’s really obvious that Microsoft is still in the days of the old DOS apps.” Needless to say I just rolled my eyes and moved on to the next topic.
Have a great week.
