Syncing Notes with Google

MAC [ Maverick OS ] has this simple note taking app called “Notes”. I like the simplicity of it. Easy to launch and use. Infact, I wrote this article using MAC Notes in offline mode :-)

While exploring this simple application, I found that there was this feature of syncing notes with other online accounts, like iCloud, Google, Yahoo, etc.

So, I went ahead and associated this application with my Google account. This might sound too simple, but I was baffled on not finding which Google application Notes synced up with !!!

I tried Google Keep, the new note taking application of Google [ it replaced Google Notes, if I am right ]. MAC Notes was not synced with this. I tried Google Docs and there was no luck there as well.

After some googling, I figured out these notes were actually being synced with Gmail !!! Yes, Gmail. My MAC Notes were converted to self addressed messages. They were all labelled as “Notes”

So, when you sync up your MAC Notes with Google, remember that they are available online in your Gmail labelled as “Notes"
