Copying OneNote Files from/to OneDrive and SharePoint
I'm attempting to educate our users on the appropriate use of SharePoint and OneDrive. There are a lot of users that would like to move OneNote notebooks from their OneDrive to a SharePoint site. I...
I think I've managed to find a way of achieving this. You can take two approaches:
Approach 1: Click on the three dots on the OneNote file in the list of documents on you OneDrive and select 'Copy to', then browse to the destination, which can be either a different location on you OneDrive or a SharePoint document library.
Note: I would always suggest using the 'Copy to' option rather than 'Move to'
Approach 2:
- Open the Notebook in the OneNote client.
- Click on File -> Export
- Then under '1. Export Current', choose 'Notebook' and then under '2. Select Format', choose OneNote Package(*.onepkg) and export it to a location on your local machine.
- Navigate to the file on you local machine where you had saved the file and double click the package.
- In the dialogue window, you can choose the name and path. Select the path to a folder on you local machine.
- Once unpackaged, it is displayed as files within a folder when you view it in windows explorer, but you can view it as a Notebook by opening it using OneNote client.
- Once the NoteBook is opened, click on 'File -> Share' and browse to the location (One note or SharePoint library) where you want the file to be.
The file in the location will appear as a normal NoteBook.
