In the latest versions of OneNote -- specifically, our apps on Windows 10, Mac, iOS, Android, and OneNote Online -- your notebooks are stored in the cloud so you can access them from anywhere. ![]() ![]() I used to use a PC running Windows 7 and OneNote 2007. I now have a MAcBook Pro. I want to access a Onenote notebook created on the old PC on my MacBook Pro running Mavericks and OneNote for Macs v. 15.1 (downloaded from the Apple App Store for free). I found some instructions from MS and MOVED the location of my notebook to my OneDrive folder using OneNote program on my PC. Sure enough, it shows up on my OneDrive.com. I loaded the OneDrive app on my MacBook, and I can see this notebook there too using Finder. When I change the notebook on my PC, the same notebook in the OneDrive folder in my MacBook's Finder also changes. It is all syncing well. But, how do I get my OneNote app on the MacBook t o open this notebook. When I click File, then Open on my MacBook Onenote, it shows me a couple of notebooks I CREATED on my MacBook, but not the notebook from my PC. The notebooks I am seeing on my Mac's Onenote are on Onenote ONLINE on OneDrive.com. The notebook I want to open is a folder in OneDrive on OneDrive.com. How can I open this notebook in my MacBook OneNote app? Thanks, Mike T in Va. Alancito, No, the notebook I am trying to access is NOT in the Documents folder of the OneDrive folder. But the two notebooks which I created with the OneNote app on my Mac are in the Documents folder. And, I noticed that those Mac-created notebooks have the extension '.url'. The OneNote notebook created on my PC has an extension of '.one'. Two different file types. I think that might be the answer to my issue. The two OneNote programs -- the one that runs on a PC and the app that runs on the Mac --use entirely different formats. This led me to look for a file converter. I found on the Windows Forum this posting which might work: 'Thanks, Chris. I did load my OneNote files into OneDrive, which was installed on my Mac. I tried several strategies to open these files using my OneNote app for my Mac Book Pro. Ultimately, I purchased a subscription to Office 365. I opened and saved the OneNote files on my PC and stored the newly saved files in OneDrive. I was then able to open these files on my Mac.' Charlie ~ Welcome to the Support Communities. Having waited a bit to give Mike a chance to speak from experience, perhaps the theoretical steps below will help. But first, I don't know whether this is relevant to your situation: 1. On your PC in OneNote 2010 or 2013, convert your 2007 notebooks to the new format (see.) 2. On your PC in OneNote 2010 or 2013, 'share' those new format notebooks to OneDrive and wait for the automatic sync 'up' to complete (see.) 3. On your Mac, open OneNote for Mac and wait for the automatic sync 'down' to complete. Cdlunan wrote: Is there any particular destination where I should save those files on my Mac? The sync process in OneNote for Mac will save your notebook files in a special system location on your Mac — which shouldn't need to be known by the user. On OneDrive, your notebooks will be stored in the Documents folder where they can be managed here: and can be optionally viewed & updated in OneNote Online here. Not sure if I will get some sort of back lash here, nevertheless, I am going to post the answer to your question. While I am not a fan of windows platform, the reality is we (mac users) are in need of some windows based solutions. So, lets get off our high horse and get an answer out there, and sadly, an Office360 purchase is not necessary. I too have used and will continue to use OneNote. Currently using 2010 on a 2008 iMac running parallels with Windows 7. I have downloaded and use OneNote for Mac on my Pad and one of my macs. I too have been challenged with figuring out how to share notebooks across the two platforms given the programing limitations. So here it is for my Win OneNote 2010 version to Mac. Share the file from OneNote 2010: • File -> Share Notebook • Select Notebook to share • Select to share on Web • Select (onedrive) folder to share from. Suggested that you select Personal Folders->Documents. However, I use a different file folder on my onedrive.
