Samsung notes app data folder - Note 7 Questions & Answers

Hi
I have been using s note in note5. I used back up the "snotedata" folder that contains all the memos and notes to my pc. I don't like sync and all that stuff. I prefer doing manually.
I would like to do the same with the Samsung notes app. But I don't know where the data folder is. Can you please help.. Thanks

Same here, it's driving me insane.
I need to browser on my PC thru all of my notes and I just can't seem to be able to.
- No PC app for Samsung Notes (although there is one for S Notes...)
- No GUI for Samsung Cloud, meaning it's impossible to merely view what's on there.
- No connection to Evernote.
- No mass-share back from Samsung Notes to S Note (you can do it but only one by one, and worse, it's imported as a picture)
Haven't been able to find the folder or, in better words... I have found "a" folder in Phone\SamsungNotes\SNote3... But all of that is empty, so there must be another place.
If anybody has a clue... I would very grateful

I just found 2 interesting folders under :
Code:
Phone\Android\data\com.samsung.android.app.notes\
One is "cache" and it's empty. The other is "files" and it has (??) a JPG copy of all of my notes.
It's a start. But I still cannot find where is the editable file.

samsung messed up notes app.. the only real advantage over snote is its lag free 90% of time.

Yeah I want to use S Note full-on, it is the best notes app no question and I have tried damn near every notes app in the Play Store, have had an Evernote premium account for years, etc. But to make it a proper notes solution they need to have a PC app and web app. I installed S Note on my Win7 PC, and I synced but nothing showed up. I tried live chat support and emailed Samsung, the response I got was this:
Thank you for contacting Samsung Customer Care.
From what you've written, we understand that you have installed S-Note software on your Windows PC and looking to view notes created on your Galaxy Note 7 phone.
We certainly understand your requirement by reviewing your email, however would like to inform you that there is no possible option available to accomplish that.
We can create notes and sync them on the software and restore them back, however there is no option of viewing them on the software on the device.

Which makes me want to stick with Evernote even with their 2-device limit (I stopped premium a while back) I can at least add stuff while on my laptop then see it on the phone, of course, and vice versa. That's a basic necessity if they want the notes deal to be taken seriously.

You need to be rooted
The folder is that same name but under /data/data/.......

Smart switch

Smart switch for samsung phones will let you put the notes from Samsung notes onto your sd card or pc etc.. the note in Samsung Notes are kept on the cloud not eithin the phones storage.

I think the "Samsung notes" are stored on the s8 internal storage and not elsewhere because when you run out of room on the internal storage the samsung note app won't save unless you delete sometging off the inturnal storage.
Where are they stored??

I also prefer to back up manually!
Does anyone know how to delete the cloud back ups of Samsung Notes? I've used smart switch to back them up and restore them, but, I cleaned up the 175 notes I've taken/made over the years down to 28. If you import from cloud you get all the ones that are there, including all 175! Samsung don't know how to either.
Thanks!

EASY!
all smsmsung note files are stored in 2 folders.:
data\data\com.samsung.android.app.notes\SDocData\
data\data\com.samsung.android.app.notes\app-attach\
just backup these 2 folders if you want to restore it (on a different phone with the same app)
sdoc data contain .sdoc files (container files, so if you rename to .zp you can extract mps3s(voice msgs) and text in raw data)
in app-attach are the drawings as .png
remember, when erasing a note in the app it is still in the 2 folders , just not visible any more in the app. very bad from a security and data savings perspective...
also with this regard i dont recommend (any) cloud backups - the (few) smasmsung apps i use dont have wifi/internet access anyway (AFWall+)

not in best english but you can understand the way
Do a backup with nokia's programm and then restore it with kies.
Hope to help (never tried it)
If you can export the N9 contacts to a .CSV which should be possible using the phone suite. Not sure though, since I have no experience with the N9. But if you can get the contacts as a .CSV file, then you can quite simply upload them Gmail Contacts with the account linked to your phone and they will automatically sync to your phone.

If contacts have special characters then this method is absolut fail (tried it two weeks ago with my wife's nokia. eg i have my contacts in Greek and the conversion is full of "?" )
The easiest and simplest way is to use google sync.
Just follow the step by step here. No additional app needed. Never used Meego but it has the contact sync built in.
And of course your Note 2 is linked to your google account so it would get the contacts automatically.
Hope that helped.

from nokia to sim-card
from sim-card to Note II.
Go to 1st line on my signature, post #4 'toolbox'
you will find a tool 'Transfer data' you can transfer with blutooth.
@ aventy
This will totally screw any contact with more than one number or with any attached additional data as email, address and so..

Second the gmail method: did that at least with three phones and it worked.
As a bonus you get a secure backup of your contacts...
Transfer Nokia contacts to Google and vice versa
You can use the following application developed by me.
There is a help in it, how to use it.
When you export all contacts using this application, use Google to import them.
At the end just sync your gmail with Your phone.
The password for the archive is : 1234
Have you ever tried Phone Transfer?
It's capable to transfer various data between different phones.
You may google it.

[Q] Strategy for saving S Notes / other handwritten notes

I am in love with the functionality of taking notes with a pen, and think S Pen works for most parts.
What has been worrying me more and more is how to ensure that some form of backup happens regularly because I am taking work notes mostly. Looking at some of the threads on Samsung sync wiping out notes from the Note it's a bit scary.
Looking for ideas how can this process be automated. At least maybe PDF versions can be saved.. or any other tools we should use ? I wish Google had a S Notes version lol
Can't answer your questions as I haven't explored S Note enough... but I recommend you use Lecture Notes instead, from my limited experience I would say it is superior to S Note especially with the extensive ability to customize how the app functions to suit your needs. Using the S Pen button to switch between pen, eraser, and cutter is ace!
Didn't try, but there is at least one app that supposedly syncs Card folders to Dropbox (DropSpace)

Didn't know that... awesome.
So can you auto save / automate PDF saves?
basically how do you save it for long term?

It auto saves, and you can specify the interval. However, this is just auto saving your notebooks. From the Notebook board you can import/export notebooks, share notebooks, or back them up as pdf.
I can't find any setting to automate the backup process, but as far as I know there are no issues with losing notebooks in Lecture Notes, and they auto save by default.
You could always get hold of the developer - I believe they have a thread here on xda and ask if it's possible to include auto backup as a feature in a future update?

Just coy them to ext sd card you'll never lose them then

I'm using 'Write'. It only has a pen option though, no way to insert text. But, what is fantastic about it is that creates pure html/svg files on the sd card. You can copy and open them in your browser, without needing to export as pdf or whatever. I use FolderSync to automatically copy these files to my laptop every couple of hours, so I can refer to those notes whenever I want to.
On My N5100 Notes are by default stored on sdcard in the folder: S Note (path: /sdcard0/S Note)
so all you need to do is backup that folder to a cloud or alternate storage manually or using sync apps like Dropspace (for dropbox) or FolderSync (for dropbox, gdrive, and others, It even supports local network shares over samba, couldn't get any better).
Edit:
Forgot to mention that: Samsung Kies will also backup your notes to your computer, however good/stable that is , is still an open question though!
Using S-Note and a Samsung account, it's trivial to do cloud sync. I could throw my Note 8 in the trash, get a new one, and sync my stuff. The limitations of manually syncing (share -> appname) to things like Dropbox and Evernote aside. A less productive but more handwriting centric app called Quill even offers automated Evernote sync I believe. Sketchbook Ink can also sync its stuff with Dropbox, although it's rather minimalist all around.
YMMV with other apps. In S-Note's case, just use a Samsung account.

you're right, and the sync is perfect, i.e. until this happens (re-quoted from this thread):

I had a backup with titanium only to find out it doesnt backup the actual notes on the sdcard...
I decided to use dropsync to upload the actual .snb and so now im backed up. Stupid Samsung fail....

Works fine for me, and my non-local data goes into a different service; such as sending it to Evernote.
Reminds me of Polaris Office, when folk on the TF101 learned it sometimes corrupts documents.

Clouds are so many and so omnipresent, it's easy to forget we use them. For me your misfortune is yet another reminder to never rely solely on cloud sync when it comes to important data.

what bothers me, is I had hard copies of all my notes on my tablet. Samsung failed in their programming by allowing their cloud server to take precedent over my hard copies.

Well, S-note is developed by same company as Polaris office (infraware), so not just a random anomaly I figure.

Precisely the dangers of two-way background sync. You don't even know what went missing, until the moment you try to find it.
Which leads me to one of the reasons of my severe dislike for MTP protocol we have on Note 8 - on devices with USB Drive Mode, it is so easy to backup/sync files from int/ext cards to PC (e.g. TotalCmd dir sync with binary comparison) - no easy way to do it with MTP.

[Q] How do take notes in s-note and view from PC in web browser?

How do I do this?
- Samsung sync seems to backup only? No web access
- Google drive sync seems to be doing nothing.
- Dropbox... the s-note is not letting me select sync with drop box.
It should be so simple! Am I missing something easy?

Are you on a custom rom or stock? If custom what rom/version? When you go to System Settings/Cloud what does it show is syncing and is Dropbox listed there?
SNote will let me share to Dropbox and Drive sync works fine between my tablet, phone, and PC. Something doesn't sound like it is setup properly or something has happened.
Need more info.

Thanks CCallahan. I'm fully stock, android 4.1.2. The cloud setting shows
Code:
Content sync (with Dropbox)
[email protected]
Storage usage 10 MB / 2.5 GB
Pictures Sync enabled
Videos Sync enabled
However when I go to S-Note -> Accounts, I only see "Samsung, Google Docs, and Evernote" listed. So my questions are:
1) How did you link S-note to drop box?
2) Once you do sync to drop box, how do you see the notes from your PC? It is the raw snb file? If so how is that useful to you? I'd really like to see the a PDF or JPG of the image so I can see it clearly.
Thanks much.

I don't think you can do that with sNotes snb natively, at-least not of now. (I have gone through the internals of s-notes file for other reasons) and it's unlikely one could make use of them easily, unless someone writes a viewer/editor for them.
My Best Bet would be to just use the share via (preferably) or export option on the s-note app to save as pdf. and find which works best for you.
Now if you need some editing. Then some PC/Android App with OCR could be quite useful.

Well, I want it to be automatic. Otherwise it's useless to me because I'll forget to sync.
Man, I can't believe I can't do something so simple: write a grocery list on my Note 8, see it instantly on my phone (S3) then cross off items while I'm in the store.
- S-note: doesn't work on S3 without touchwiz (I'm running CM 10.1)
- Papyrus: doesn't support sync yet. (their cloud backup thing will NOT do sync)
- Gnotes: doesn't allow you to write like a piece of paper. When you write it's large, then it gets placed onto the page.
- Evernote / Skitch: writing with the s-pen is pretty bad with skitch. It can't seem to keep up.
EDIT: I just found that "GNote" is different than "GNotes". Trying Gnote (not in play store) now.
Am I missing any other aps that get sync right?

If you don;t necessarily need output as a hand written text, you could just use handwriting recognition in note 8 (which works quite well once you get used to it) and use whatever app you prefer. that way.

It looks like GNote + DropSync will do what I want.
Now if only I could push after saving rather than trying to check every 5 mins. Hmmmm.

[Q] Photo Management

I just spent 45 minutes on tech support trying to find out how to manage my photos on my new tablet. After allowing smart tutor control, I was told that the new Tab S won't allow me to use Kies to direct my photos into various folders, nor is there any way to move them once loaded. I am a photographer, and had expected to have over a thousand images for demos. I can't have them all in one huge folder.
Please save me from having to return this and get an Apple - I have to be able to organize my photos. How do I do it?
thanks in advance
Keivn
option 1: The tablet should have Google+ installed, if you set that up and open the photos app (which is separate from the gallery app) you should be able to upload photos to google plus automatically, allowing you to organize and share photos inside google's online photo manager
option 2: You could do basically the same thing with Dropbox, uploading photos you have to their servers and then organizing them on your computer either in the photo manager on dropbox.com, or manually with the file manager on your mac/pc
option 3: use a USB cable to plug the tablet into your PC and copy photos from it manually periodically. If you have windows this should be easy, if you have a mac, you'll need android file transfer which is a program that communicates with the MTP protocol modern android devices use.
thoughts/comments/concerns?
Thanks
I didn't want to use an online method, because I am often in places with poor or no signal, which is a non-starter. I had tried running through simple Windows file manager, and had not been able to see it as anything other than single folder, with no ability to see discrete folder structures in it. However, when I tried that this am, I could see the folders on the Galaxy, so transfer and file management is easy. I'm not sure whether the Samsung tech changed a setting or what else might have changed, but with visibility into the folders via File Manager, this is now straightforward.
Thanks for the help. It's sad that Samsung help couldn't give me this simple fix.
Kevin
There are a lot of simple ways to manage photos. The simplest (but not most efficient) approach is probably just to plug the tab into PC with a USB and use a file manager to manage. Alternatively, you can also use one of several online services like Picasa and a third party app. Many of of the third party apps like PicsPro for Picasa, for example, have an option to keep a local copy of photos on the tablet so you can still view photos without an internet connection.

hi, I can easily do that within the default Gallery app.
I have the T705 version btw. But this shouldn't matter.
in the Gallery app I can simply create new folder(s) and move (or copy) selected photos form any folder to that new folder. I use this all the time. I'm not a professional photographer but I like to take loads of pictures. but I don't like them all together in the default "Camera" folder. I never organized my photos via PC (not on my phones, nor on my tabs).

[Q] Action Memos Note 3 to Note 4

Ended up getting blocked out of my Action Memos by Samsung on my Note 4. I have all the notes, just can't get them to show up on my Note 4. Here's where the help part begins.
1. Need someone who uses AM and doesn't export to S Note or through Evernote to look and tell me where the Action Memos normally live on the Note 4 - where on the internal SD. You can even just do a test note, then open the memo app, not S Note. Then confirm location on internal SD. Need the path/name.
2. If this can't be resolved any other way, my thinking is that if I do a factory reset I'd have to setup my Sammy account again and the Memos will show that way. Thoughts? It's buggered because of an Evernote prompt.
Any ideas or help always appreciated. Still working on it here. If I find a fix other than FR I'll post it.

I didnt choose export to Snote when saving and when i set up the account, i didnt choose evernote, i chose samsung, not evernote(the only two options) and it still saves them to MainStorage/SNoteData/ActionMemo
And to get them to show up i still had to long press the home screen for widgets, scroll down to SNote and choose the second one with the previous saved notes. Id just move the notes from their location to Internal/SNoteData/ActionMemo and theyll be accessible via the SNote widget.
_____
I tried using the MyFiles instead of my File Explorer, and If youre on Internal, theyll show up the Documents section and its the same one thats in the ActionMemo folder and i was able to view it without needing the SNote widget.
You might have to go that route to manually put them in the ActionMemo folder and use the MyFiles default explorer, open up documents and the memos will open on your home screen. Hope that helps.

I tried using the MyFiles instead of my File Explorer, and If youre on Internal, theyll show up the Documents section and its the same one thats in the ActionMemo folder and i was able to view it without needing the SNote widget.
You might have to go that route to manually put them in the ActionMemo folder and use the MyFiles default explorer, open up documents and the memos will open on your home screen. Hope that helps.

Thanks. Here's what I know and what I've done.
1. I put them in the S Note folder for Actionmemo but they still won't show.
2. I put them in the Actionmemo folder on the main and same as above **Are you saying it should be ActionMemo and not Actionmemo?
3. What I'm trying to accomplish is have them open through the Action Memo app so that technically they are still editable, but they aren't showing either place.
4. Tried to setup the widget and can't. I'm using Apex Launcher. **What launcher do you use?
5. I can see the jpgs on dropbox, internal SD and anywhere else I have them, just can't "use" them with S pen.
6. The fix for the update worked great until I hooked up to Smart Switch to get the Action Memos onto my Note 4. It saw I was without the update and tried to slam me. Won't be doing that again. Nag is still gone on phone. I think it tried to slam me with 5.1.1 because the 5.0 nag was gone. Learning experience.
Off topic - downloaded the modem file tonight. Thanks.

When you look at the files in MyFiles, are the extensions .spd?

Always have and always will use Holo Launcher. It works the best for me and my preferred 387 dpi settings with 0.5 animation scale.
It allows all permissions when using any widget and works well with shortcuts too(which i never use)
If you saw a 0/100 at the end of the download progress on the far right, that was just samsung app updating, not the android system. lol
Ive never used action memo, and when i clicked save(didnt click export to Snote at the bottom right), it still saves them to InternalStorage/SnoteData/ActionMemo(Done with a 3rd party File Explorer, which you need if you dont already have one). Youll see the files there but you cant open them within the FileExplorer you donwloaded to see path locations and later use root priveleges when you decide to root.
After moving your old notes to InternalStorage/SnoteData/ActionMemo... Then go to the default File Explorer(MyFiles) Go to Documents, and youll see all your notes/memos and be able to open them up and have them appear on the home screen as if you just got done making them and were about to save them for the first time.

Yes, and theyre able to be opened as well, no SNote involved.

Because of what Sammy did to me with the Evernote thing, when I go to File Explorer(MyFiles), Go to Documents, I see everything spd, but it's only the files I manually sent to SNote from Action Memo. I have over 130 memos and no way I want to manually export those puppies. But the extension is spd. That was a big help. Thanks.
I wonder if it's possible to take a backup of the files - already done - and then change the jpg to spd (via a batch file or something like that)? Then they would all show properly. They're in the right place, but Sammy locked me out of them in favor of Evernote. I don't use Evernote because they're not editable.

So using the info you gave me about MyFiles on Note 4, I did a search for spd and found all of the files, not jpgs but qspd, on my Note 3. I'm going to try exporting those tomorrow and see if I can lick this situation short term.
Thanks once again, my friend. :good: Off to let my brain mull this one over.

de nada, mi amigo. If that doesnt work, you can always try putting your SPen in Backwards and see if that gives you backwards compatibility to the note 3 files. LMAO.

Holy #%$& it worked! I did a batch rename on my laptop from cmd promt. Uploaded the files to my N4 and they still didn't show (could be too impatient). Renamed file title to format of early test notes only on N4 and refreshed. It showed up in Action memo! I'm going to give it a wait to see if the rest show up, or in fact have to be renamed to "Action memo" instead of "_QuickMemo".
:victory::victory::victory::victory:
Once again persistence and determination pays off.

You do need to change name from "Action memo" instead of "_QuickMemo", that along with the extension rename from "qspd" to "spd" are key. They will load without the first change, but still won't show. And don't forget to include the jpg for each file when you put them in Primary/SnoteData/Action memo.
This will make it possible to copy my notes from my Note 10.1 now. :good:
