Backing up Notability to Drive
First, Open Notability.
2. On the screen where your documents are listed, at bottom left, click the gear icon.
? = help.
i = app info.
3. Select AutoBackup.
4. if Google Drive has a checkmark, your files are being backed up. Look at the bottom of the box to check the location – the iPad Guy suggests /Notability/ as the location [i.e. inside a folder named “Notability”]
If there is NO checkmark, then click on the text Google Drive. Login.
5. IMPORTANT: In the File Format section, change the selection from “note” to PDF+Recording”. This is so you can open up your notes just about anywhere.
Getting files from Drive into Notability
![The import icon is the middle one.](https://i0.wp.com/tech2.mountdesales.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Notability-icons.jpg?w=474)
FIRST:
- Get your Dividers and Subjects setup in Notability
- Select a location[folder] in Notability.
THEN select what to import. Drive is organized just like notability was – if you had folders/dividers in Notability, then you will see folders in Drive, inside the Notability folder.
Your Notability selection is WHERE the files will be imported to. - You will need to do this for each folder/divider you set up.
Once you get Notability setup:
- Open up Notability
- Click the icon, top right, that looks like a square with an arrow going INTO it
- Select Google Drive
- It should automatically show you the Notability folder on your Drive.
- Select what you’d like to import.
REMEMBER THAT Folders on Drive = “Subjects” in Notability.
