#GOODNOTES IPAD SIZE WINDOWS#
Even tho i could backup all notes as PDF, and watch them on my Windows Desktop, i never did, because doing so on the iPad was more convenient.ĭepending how much you can spend, and what expectations you have.īut here are the Options from pricy and best, to cheaper and less specs, and also my personal "ranking"
#GOODNOTES IPAD SIZE ANDROID#
When i switched from an Android Tablet to an iPad Pro for Note Taking in school, it was my only Apple device, and even then, it performed very well.īut i mostly used the iPad itself to write AND study from it. 5~ on iPads.ĭisadvantage: Some workflows aren't as easy, for example sharing files between iPad and any non-Apple product.īut using a Cloud like Dropbox/Google Drive/OneDrive is a quite easy Workaround. Also, samsung can't change the Developer not focusing on Tablet Apps.Īlso, only 2-3 years updates, vs. Samsung does optimize some stuff for the Tablet Formfactor, but it's just not possible on the same scale as Apple can. Huawei can use Pens, but it's either a 2-year old Device now without Updates left, or the new models without Google. There are very little Tablet-Apps, most are just normal Phone apps, stretched out.Īlso, note Taking Apps (Lecture Notes for example) can't compete with what's available on iPads (GoodNotes 5, Notability, Noteshelf 2, Margin Notes 3, etc).Īnd there is basicly only Samsung left. Problem with Android: Google gave up many years ago, they have basicly Zero optimization for tha Tablet Formfactor. You can manage, but yea.īut it can run x86 Apps if you need anything Desktop-grade stuff. The Surface Go 2 will have worse battery life, and worse performance.Īlso, Windows is not optimized for Touch / Tablet-mode. Problem with Windows: It costs alot more for less performance. Long updates, very good optimized, alot very high quality Apps with diferent strenghts, solid/consistent Performance and Battery Life. After deleting the original notebook, the file would be backed up just fine.If that's the Case, i would suggest an iPad in your price range (in 1-2 Months, a new iPad and iPad Air could be released. Then I uploaded it into drive and downloaded it into GoodNotes. The only way I could get the notebook to successfully back up was to export it as a flattened pdf, and on my laptop I used the “compress PDF” feature on Adobe Acrobat.

Adding it back into the queue would fail again and then cause the app to crash.Įventually I realized that the file size of that notebook was around 270MB. I had all my files being automatically backed up to google drive, and eventually noticed that the notebook of slides would not be backed up at all, and would just be excluded from the upload queue. I use GoodNotes for school and had a notebook of lecture slides that I would annotate on throughout the semester. So maybe this is the solution and Goodnotes should definitely fix their Autobackup. Immediately after I disabled the autobackup the Appsize was down to 1GB and didn't increase so far. I hope that this doesn't cause me problems one day, but since my notes also sync via iCloud on all my devices I think that I will survive without Auto-Backup.

So yesterday evening I disabled the autobackup to Onedrive. I already had this option activated and - apart from that - goodnotes still takes up >20GB.īut some of you mentioned that it might be a problem with the backup. They also adviced me to clean up my storage in general, delete/offload unused apps. It just said, that the Backup Size doesn't reflect the actual size of Goodnotes and that the actual size also includes "other stuffs like caches, app sources, indexing data, trashed items and also exported library/PDF files" - well, I feel like that doesn't really explain a difference of more than 20GB. I got a response from the Goodnotes support team, but sadly it wasn't helpful at all.

I dont know what to do to solve this problem, so I hope maybe one of you can help me. I was happy and thought that the problem is solved.īut now I worked on my notes again for maybe 90 minutes and now Goodnotes takes up 10GB again. I restarted my iPad and in the system settings it said that Goodnotes is now only taking up 1.7GB of space. I did so and the took a look into my system settings and it said that Goodnotes is taking up 23GB of storage! I then checked my goodnotes backup, which I keep in my onedrive and all the files are only 1.7GB big.
#GOODNOTES IPAD SIZE FULL#
Today, while I was working on my notes, I had notifications that the storage is full and I should empty my trashcan (I honestly dont know if this is the correct word for it, but I use the german version and its basically trashcan in it). When I bought the iPad last year I thought that the storage should definitely be enough, since I'm saving my stuff mostly in clouds.īut I'm currently experiencing issues with the storage and I feel like they are caused by Goodnotes. For information: I work on the 11" iPad Pro 2019 with 64 GB. I'm having problems with Goodnotes 5 on my iPad.
