One Note for Android how can I email a note?

I don't see anyway to be able to email a note directly from One Note for android!  To me this is a HUGE overlook on Microsofts part.  The apple version allows you to email a note as a .pdf attachment, why on earth would the android version not support this? The idea being that if I create a note, or a list on the device, I have to sync, then go to a desktop (or apple device), to be able to print, email, or share it....is there any future plans for supporting sharing in android?

    18 months after this thread was started, and several significant Android OneNote upgrades, and this still hasn't been addressed.

    Sad.

    So little respect for Microsoft faithful... Office 365 subscribers at that.

    I could not have put this better myself.

    When are companies going to realise that we, as paying customers, can no longer be put off with "Copy and Paste" responses?

    This issue has been on going for 18 months - what exactly have the developers been doing in that time?

    I have not seen any new functionality that will have taken that long.

    And why is it that iOS gets things developed and Android doesn't - especially when there are many times more Android devices than iOS?

    Pull your finger out Microsoft - get the email functionality developed!!

    I've spent a fair amount of time reading several threads regarding the lack of "sharing" in OneNote, and the one thing I haven't seen discussed is "security".  MS is likely the most PARANOID tech company on the planet, and (not trying to make excuses) I'm sure it's for good reason, but tight security always trades for functionality, development cost & speed to boot. 

    It's not a stretch to see where the amount of security MS builds into its software might prevent them from including a "share" feature.

    Also, just look at the size of the App itself compared to others in your Android App drawer. It's not big, it's enormous!

    OneNote = 345MB

    For reference, my next largest App is Webster's Unabridged Dictionary & Thesaurus (Offline Version) = 245MB

    I can't understand why it's so big considering that it's useful, but doesn't really do all THAT much.  Adding a "share" feature could give Johnny Mnemonic the ~Black Shakes~. 

    The fact is that the overwhelming majority of users don't password protect their notes, and don't give a rip about SHA-256/512bit security on their shopping lists.  Perhaps MS could offer up a "secure" version that doesn't allow sharing, and a "standard" one that allows sharing.  How hard would that be?  (Give customers options?? Fascinating!   Go on... Please tell me more!) 

    To reiterate, I'm speculating about security being the culprit, but it stands to reason it's at least part of the challenge considering I can't open my PW protected pages using the Android App either.  I have a few PW protected pages created using OneNote 2016 that I'm unable to open using the Android App, but that's not as big an issue as not being able to share my O'Notes from my phone with my wife, etc. 

    Com'on, Microsoft... If you won't listen to your customers, please, at least listen to The Kinks:

    Silly boy ya' self-destroyer.

    Paranoia, the destroyer

    Self-destroyer, wreck your health

    Destroy friends, destroy yourself

    The time device of self-destruction... 

    XOXOXO~  Crass

    I agree that this is a major lapse in functionality. Having to go to the desktop version to be able to do this is ridiculous. My work around for doing quick drawings and such is--- do a screenshot, attach the photo.
