Where are samsung notes stored on android?

Samsung notes are usually stored in a phone internal storage or probably the location which a user selected in saving the notes file.

Previously, Samsung notes app  has it’s provisioned folder where all saved notes are stored in the folder. Since the last six updates and few months back, the notes are saved in the location which the user selected.

That is to say there’s no folder in the internal storage that save these samsung notes in an android phone. To view the notes, you simply have to open file app, tap on the internal storage and scroll below the folders.

Right there you will see all your samsung notes.

  1. I understand the logic of the new way of saving notes. However I’ve 600+ notes!
    I have to open each one individually and save each one separately – that’s gonna take me forever.

    Is there a short cut? Some way were I can bulk save them into the internal storage?

    CJ

  2. First, create a folder in your internal storage and you can chose to name it my samsung notes.

    Now open the Samsung note app and press hold on any of the notes. Look at the top left corner of your screen and you will see a small circle indicating the number of note(s) you’ve marked.

    Now tap on the circle to select all the 600 notes, then look below your screen and you will see a hamburger menu which is after delete.

    Tap on the hamburger menu and tap on save file. You can chose to save the files as samsung notes file , pdf file, Microsoft Word file, Microsoft PowerPoint file, image file, or as a text file.

    After you have selected your preferred file format, it will take you to your internal storage and you have to scroll to the new folder you created in your internal storage and save the 600 notes right there.

  3. I restored my phone and now my samsung notes r gone? where would they have went? they were there the last time i switched phones and I have important information in them I need for work

  4. Did you backup the notes or synchronize them to your Samsung account? Or even save the notes in your phone’s internal storage or sd card. If you didn’t do so then you have automatically lost the notes.

  5. So, to clarify things, when you don’t choose to save the notes on your device, they are been saved temporarily at the internal memory until they synchronize with the samsung’s cloud, and then they delete from the internal memory like the cache files of a browser while you access a webpage?
    That means that samsung made the app to not making the internal memory occupied, but on the other hand, if you don’t backup manually the notes at the internal or sd memory, then they are only at the cloud storage, so if something wrong happens to a file, that is the only copy of the file that you have?

    Then I guess we must doing manual backups in every note, after every work we do, right?
