What is the best way to import notes to Google Keep?

I would have to ask each time —” What are you importing from? What app is the note first sitting on?”

I’ve found that Gmail has a right-hand menu (click the > bottom right) that exposes a Keep pop-out window. Paste or write into that. Then you know Keep always has a selection to Copy to Docs and three vertical dots to click if you wish.

I need help to think of other easy ways to import notes to Keep. Copy/Paste is what I do with all kinds of things.

What is the best way to import notes to Google Keep?

Following are the steps to import notes to Google Keep:

1. Head over to Google Takeout, which allows you to export portions of your Google data.
2. Click Select None to deselect all options.
3. Find Google Keep and enable the switch next to it.
4. Press Next, then Create Archive.

How do you show only notes with no label in Google Keep?

There currently needs to be an official way to do that.

I have found a troublesome way, though.

1. Go to all your notes. Select all (Ctrl + A) and assign them a “temporary” label.
2. Go to each of your labels except the “temporary” label. Select all (Ctrl + A), and design the “temporary” label notes.
3. All the notes with no label will now have the “temporary” label and can be assessed by the “temporary” label.

How do you export your Google Keep notes and attachments?

If you want to do it manually, you have two options. First, copy your Google Keep Notes and paste them into Word or Notepad format. And another option is that collaborator and you can transfer Google Keep Notes to another Gmail account.

But both manual freeways do not support your attachment. Thus, it takes your time and energy.

Therefore, I will show you a one-stop solution to export your Google Keep Notes and attachments. The BitRecover Keep Converter solution is the perfect solution that exports Google Keep notes and attachments in bulk. 

It has many attractive features that make your job easy. It gives you multiple saving file options like PDF, PST, EML, EMLX, MHT, DOC, and MBOX so users can export Google Keep Notes and attachments to any desired file format.

Users can try out the free demo version of the software to understand all the features. However, the user has to download Google Keep notes and attachments through Google Takeout before using the solution. After downloading, your data is in JSON and HTML format. Now, you can export this file using this software.

Which is better: Evernote or Google Keep?

I’m a paying Evernote user and also a fanboy for Google products.

My rules of thumb for distinguishing between whether something belongs in Evernote or Keep hinge on a few factors:

• Is it important to get to this note quickly, like a grocery list? Keep.
• Is it important that I share this with someone else (again, a grocery list shared with my wife)? Keep.
• Do I know what I want to do with this, or am I grabbing it the way we used to bookmark things on the web? Evernote.
• Is this for a research project, including a household purchase, or a writing project? Evernote.
• Do I want to be reminded about this at a certain time — like a post-it note that grabs my attention intelligently? Keep (or a reminder in Google Inbox) about the same thing).

As you can see, the cases for Evernote could easily be overtaken by Keep, and as much as I like Evernote, the value of my subscription (though not the price) has been slightly declining.

Will Google Keep Kill Evernote?

Only if it has serious, very special support at the top, like Google Docs/Apps did, for example.

Why? Google has made and will continue to make Keep a nice product. And it can kill Evernote. It absolutely can. But it’s too risky for Google to kill Evernote.

Here’s what happens, usually. Probably here (maybe Keep is the exception, but statistically, this is the likely scenario):

• Google VP/SVP sees the success of Evernote and similar cloud apps, says I want to be in that space too.
• Google Director and team build a clone / their take on the space from their budget of engineers. No problem. Put a few or a dozen guys on it. There are always extra guys in a BigCo — up to a point — to build new stuff.
• The Clone is easy to build since you already have a roadmap/app to copy/improve upon.
• Clone launches are fine but aren’t enough to “blow up” and get 10m+ users.
• Also, there’s no natural “attach.” I.e., it doesn’t create more revenue for Adwords or enhance it automatically. It may add value to Android, but it’s not a true asset that can scale because it’s hooked into another big Google product.
• Getting Clone, er Keep, truly up to parity will take 18+ months of development. At the same time, Evernote is still innovating.
• After those next 12-18 months, it takes a big team to keep it going. Evernote has 400+ employees for a reason, it turns out. And there is zero revenue and insufficient users to be material to Google, even the SVP/VP’s patch of Google. Evernote has grown a lot in those 12-18 months, added 500 features, grown its enterprise sales team (which Google Keep doesn’t have), etc.
• The annual budgeting cycle at BigCo comes up. There always needs to be more headcount. What’s going to get cut back? Defunded? Engineers get redeployed at Year 2 or so to products with higher ROI. Because now, after all that — it’s too risky to keep all those resources on something that needs to be delivered sufficiently.

Now, defunded apps don’t have to die per se. I’m still getting my FriendFeed emails to this day. But they do fade away to irrelevant quickly after that.

Such is the cycle of cool but subscale products at the BigCos. Unless (x) you have special support at the top (Docs/Apps for a while, Android) — or (y) you acquire something sufficiently large that it has its momentum and leadership already (what happened with us), or (z) the attach really works or the app otherwise can blow up very quickly organically — it’s tough.

I love Google. But unless Larry Page wants Keep to win, I say Evernote has nothing to worry about.

How do I recover Google Keep notes?

I could recover my note that had disappeared.

I put 2 words into the search bar, and it popped up. I’d already tried searching, but maybe I had just guessed the correct words.

Now understand, this is AFTER I exhaustively looked everywhere, including the label. It’s supposed to be filed in. I did the things recommended on sites like Reddit, like checking trash and archives, but I need help.

I’m answering this immediately after discovering my solution to help anyone as frustrated as I was. I hope this works for you, but sometimes Google Keep Notes is a wild card.

So- this part is important- if this works and the note pops up, copy everything & paste it somewhere else before you close it out! Because here’s what’s interesting: it still needs to recover fully.

It’s not with my other recent notes on Google Keep note’s main page, and it still needs to be added to the label it should be in. So, I’m not taking chances that this trick will continue working.

What would be a good use of Google Keep?

I love Google Keep! It’s one of my favorite Google products.

I use it a lot for checklists. You name it:

• Grocery lists.
• To-do lists.
• Questions to answer.
• Lists of comments that I need to incorporate into a paper.

This is my number one use case for Keep. I love the checkboxes and that there’s a strike through any item checked off.

I also use it to save information that I’ll need for a short time, or that is so small that it doesn’t need a full document. In this way, I treat Keep like a virtual pad of sticky notes. Anything that I would like to write on a sticky note but want to be able to take on my tablet, I put it on Keep!

Above all, Keep is incredibly lightweight, fast, and syncs across all my devices. That’s one of the reasons I love it!

How many notes can I keep in Google Keep?

What everyone else said so far – you get to keep (sorry) as many notes as you can physically produce; the system limits are beyond your reach. However, there will be practical limits – once you get to (say) 50,000 notes, Finagle’s law will kick in.

You won’t remember that you already made a note of that recipe / those instructions / that receipt, so you’ll note it again. Then, you won’t be able to find your note because you need to remember the title or misspell the keyword you’re searching for. And every search you make will give you 1,000 hits – or none.

Ensure you use a consistent style for titles, tags, or whatever process you use to index your notes! And be prepared that if you get to 25,000 or more, you’ll spend some time each day just tidying things up – curating your information. That’s normal for any large collection of data.

How do I know the number of notes I have in Google Keep?

Go to Keep on the Web.

Press Ctrl-A to select all your notes. You should now see a bar across the top that tells you how many you have selected.

Now undo this selection (e.g., there should be an ‘X’ on that top bar that does this), select ‘Archive’ from the sidebar, and press Ctrl-A again – now it will tell you how many archived notes you have.

Does Google’s keep notes ever delete old notes? I am sure those will stay there without being deleted after a while.

I have Keep notes that are at least 6–7 years old. Google has never deleted any of my notes.

Google is (in)famous for killing its services, but I am fully confident Keep will never be one of those. Why? Because it’s a core G Suite service.

Even if Google did decide to discontinue Keep, I am 100% confident the world would be given PLENTY of notice and ample time to export and save notes elsewhere.

Basically… yes, you can trust this.

How do I migrate notes from Wunderlist to Google Keep?

There needs to be a direct way to do this. However, this is a workaround.

1. Send your Wunderlist to your email

2. Assuming you have a Google Keep extension on your Chrome, open your message, select your list, and right-click selected →. Save the selection to keep.

3. Change your note to checkboxes. Your list should now be transferred effortlessly.

This seems like an ABC workaround, but it’s all that can be managed now.

Is there an easy/direct way to export all EverNote notes to Google Keep?

Hi. Short answer: It depends…

I need to get up to date with Keep and its ability to import other file types, but Evernote ‘exports’ in several ways.

Export to

• ENEX files (a bespoke XML format used for backup purposes)
• HTML – including attachments and with a variety of other options.

It’s also possible to

• save note attachments as files outside the database and copy/ paste note content elsewhere
• email a note
• print to PDF files or paper.

If you have a small number of notes, then individual processing is the best way to go.

In all other cases, it depends on the content and number of notes. HTML is good for notes without attachments.

Consider using an agile approach – leave existing notes in Evernote and create new ones in Keep. If you edit or update existing content, bring those notes to Keep only so that your current notes are there. Evernote becomes an archive and reference only.

How can I sync my iCloud notes with Google Keep?

They can’t be synced.

I suffer from the same problem. I used to take notes in Google Keep on my old Android device. And now, when I tell Siri to take a note, it saves in iCloud notes by default. So I have to use both.

So what do I do?

I use the Google Keep application on my iPhone and Laptop. I also use iCloud Notes in my Browser.

So when your iPhone is not accessible, then use the browser to access your iCloud notes from anywhere
