data loss on Android tablet

Question

hey , I use OneNote on Android devices.

Recently I had Synchronization issues with my Tablet. There were a few Notes that, as I recognized later, only existed on my Tablet. While my tryings to fix the problem with the synchronization I logged out and logged in again.

That was the point I realized the Notes were only available on my tablet and weren´t synchronized.

Is there an option to get my Notes back? Like a local Backup on android?

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

I’m an Independent Advisor and Microsoft user like you. Thanks for posting the query here at this forum. Sorry to hear that you're having issues with synchronizing OneNote in the android device.

Could you please if us know if you have enabled OneDrive or any other cloud storage in the android device? Unfortunately OneNote in android devices will not save a local copy of the files.

Sign in to your OneDrive account from the OneDrive home page - https://www.onedrive.com/ or by using the OneDrive app for Windows 10. 2. Browse through your OneDrive folders (for example, Documents or Notebooks) for any notebook files you're looking for. 3. When you've found the notebook you want, click to open it in OneNote for the web.

If you're using OneDrive, you can check the deleted notes section,

1. Open the shared notebook where you lost recent notes.
2. Choose the View tab and Deleted Notes.
3. If your deleted notes are found there, right-click the page tab that you want to restore, and then use the Move or Copy command to put the notes back in their original location.

Hope this information would be useful to you. Please feel free to get back if you need any additional info.
