Thank you for your suggestion.  However, as I posted previously in a screenshot, there is no "File - Options - Save & Backup" on a Mac.  I include the screenshot again to show you what I'm seeing on my Macbook Pro.

 

I'm open to any other suggestions as to why there should be this option in Windows and not on a Mac.

Thanking you,

Sabina

OK, I get your problem. I am not a Mac user or anything Apple but I may have a suggestion or a "workaround" which depends on how game you are to try "out of the box" ideas and your skill level. OneNote files are stored on Microsoft's OneDrive so I assume you have a Microsoft Account and access to OneDrive through a browser? Please confirm that A/ you have access to OneDrive and can see the x.one files that OneNote generates. B/ you're willing to try or go "outside the box". I don't want to waste time for either of us.

    Ok, thank you for your offer of help.  Yes, I do have a Microsoft account.  And when I logon to "onedrive" I can see only the two folder of which I attach a screenshot.

    and here is all that shows in that "OneNote Uploads" folder

    I'm not sure what you mean by " x.one files" but that is all that I'm seeing.  And yes, I'm willing to  "outside the box" to see if I can get to the bottom of this thing.  I'm sure that they are backed up somewhere but just where?

     

    Thanking you,

    Sr. Sabina
