Onenote For Mac Not Syncing10/16/2021
I'm having an issue where, after updating my devices to iOS 13, notes from the Apple Notes app are either not syncing, randomly syncing, or syncing only after a prolonged delay (e.g. By the way, you can also boot up your Mac in Safe Mode to check if this. Restart the app, open a new notebook and check if OneNote is working as intended. Then open the Containers folder, double-click on the com.microsoft.onenote.mac folder, and delete Container.plist. Open Finder, click on the Go menu, press the Option key, and select Library.My wife created a note on her phone and shared it with me - and that synced as we both made changes, although it was not instant as it had been prior to the iOS upgrades.So until yesterday things were still not working. I tried everything recommended and ended transferring all my notes to sit on my iPhone - then deleted all notes out of the iPad and MBA and switched iCloud off for Reminders and Notes on all three devices.I then backed up my phone so at least I had a copy of my notes (I used iexplorer to look into the backup to make sure all of my Notes were there).I periodically switched iCloud back on in the iPad and iPhone and attempted to create notes and see if they would sync. Under the save category Modify the locations for Backup Folder and Default Notebook location point to the OneNotes folder you created through Box Sync.I have had the same problem as everyone - Notes not syncing between my iPhone, iPad, MBA - all with the latest OS.

I hit that option and I think it says 'This will delete all Notes in iCloud and on you iPhone' - I say yes or OK or whatever it asked. So I swiped left and the option comes up to Delete Data. Obviously something was jammed in there. It was 2.2GB - ranked 5th after iCloud Drive, Photos, Messages, Backups. I went to Settings/Passwords & Accounts/iCloud/iCloud/Manage Storage - and I looked down the list to see how much data Notes had stored in iCloud (obviously it should be zero as I had deleted all Notes out of iCloud).If you are going to follow these instructions the only thing I would do differently is use my MBA to hold all the notes in the 'On My Mac' folder. Each account has 480 notes. I then copied all the folders - and all other notes have now synced between all devices. I then copied a folder from my 'On my iPhone' folder - to the iCloud folder - and it immediately synced the folder and all the notes it contained between all my phone, iPad, MBA and iCloud. I then added my iPad - and the same - all synced immediately - then added my MBA and notes synced immediately between all four. Then switched on iCloud on my phone, and tested making notes on my phone, and in iCloud via the browser and it all synced immediately.
