I just tried OneNote for a Mac.
I noticed that there is no way to load or save a local OneNote file.
I've been using OneNote on a PC for years. Really like it a lot. Was hoping to
now use it on my Mac.
I don't know why OneNote is setup this way. I can't even load my existing personal
files from the Mac. The decision to use a cloud service should be mine and not forced into
it. Even Evernote lets me store locally.
I use it for both personal and work related projects. I cannot put work projects out on
a public cloud repository so this new version is a no go for work. At this point I think
I'll look at Mac equivalents to OneNote and convert to something else.....
Free is great, but I would pay for a fully functional Mac version of OneNote. Please reconsider
local file storage.
Disappointed.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I would also like to ask for assistance in this manner.
I have old One Note notebooks from my PC. How can I load them into One Note for Mac?
Same here. I would like to use local files and not the cloud.
I am trying to upload a PC OneNote .onepkg file, but it can't, so I would also like to see some local file storage!
Typical M$FT, take something useful, golden, and turn it into ****. I don't want a OneDrive account, and I can't take any corporate notes and store them on a third party service.
Why not require a HotMail account too? No longer so cool? Or maybe use of Microsoft Bob, or Windows Millennium Edition.
Or maybe you could add something really useful like asking if I want to send an email or a business fax every time I type in someone's email. That was REALLY useful in the past. Way to use let your business needs ruin your products.
grumpy! :(
