The best note-taking programs, like Evernote, sync your notes to all your other devices, so you have them wherever you go. If you have some OneNote 2016 notes that are stored locally on your computer, you can sync them to your other devices using OneDrive.

NOTE: There are two different versions of OneNote. The free version of OneNote that comes with Windows 10 automatically creates new notebooks in your OneDrive account, and automatically syncs existing notebooks with your OneDrive account by default. This article discusses syncing notebooks you created in OneNote 2016, the desktop version that comes with Office 365.

To sync a notebook to your OneDrive account, click the notebooks dropdown menu in the upper-left corner of the OneNote window and select the notebook you want to sync.
