OneNote shows open notebooks as a flat list in the app, but inside OneDrive you can store them however you want since they're just files like any other. When you open a notebook, OneNote downloads the entire notebook to your local device to be available offline. Some notebook management will have to be done inside OneDrive, since OneNote is primarily a file reader/editor. OneNote is still that way, which means you don't have a OneNote account, just OneNote notebook folders stored in OneDrive and the app reads them from there.
Those folders then contained subfolders and section files that constituted the notebook.
Like the rest of Office apps, OneNote notebooks were originally just a folders on your computer. Evernote was originally "you have a program, and data inside a program". OneNote's organization is pretty different. Two, if you use tags as a filing system a la Gmail and the like, you'll have to double-file your notes, which isn't necessarily ideal. The main practical consequence is that you can't have two notebooks or tags with the same name. On the other hand, Evernote's tag support is better: Every page can have tags set to it, and those tags can be visually organized into pretty deep trees that work well for organizing.Įvernote's setup has two primary issues: One, both notebook stacks and tag trees are simply visual, the actual lists are flat. All your notebooks are the property of an account and within the account it only goes notebook stack -> notebook -> page, so all your hierarchies will be very flat by necessity. Evernote is pretty bad at folder-based filing. Evernote, at least the old clients, have a better setup for storing pages inside notebooks (they have a proper PDF reader, OneNote stores the PDF as an attachment and prints out the pages as inline images which gets heavy fast). Page format's simple: Evernote pages are more like Word documents, while OneNote has its infinite canvas concept. The most fundamental differences between Evernote and OneNote in daily use are the page format and organization. If you need rich content like images accessible offline as part of the note, OneNote and Evernote are more or less the only game in town outside some Apple-only apps. I'd definitely encourage looking into other options as well, but the two old grognards of the notetaking space have stayed afloat despite being utterly unsexy because of one thing: There are a lot of good ones, but if you want a traditional notetaking app that's powerful, OneNote and Evernote are more or less where it's at.
