Why are my Samsung notes not syncing?
You may experience sync issues with Samsung Notes if you try to connect it with Samsung Cloud or Microsoft OneNote. When you don’t see your Samsung Notes in Microsoft OneNote, the first thing you need to check is whether or not you are signed in to the OneNote app with the same Microsoft account that you used in Samsung Notes. If you are using the same Microsoft account, there may be a problem with your internet connection.
If you have trouble syncing while connecting Samsung Notes with Samsung Cloud, you can try to clear data from Samsung cloud and then sync again.
