Sharing a note using OneNote on an Android phone

Is it possible to share a note using OneNote on my android phone? There seems to be no "share" menu.  I've been an Evernote user and just migrated to OneNote because of it has a much more effective stylus note taking capability.  I use it on my Samsung 3 and Samsung Note 10.1.  But, I have to continue using Evernote to share articles I've saved into Evernote.  I prefer to save everthing into OneNote if possible and only use OneNote.

You would have to share from a desktop using the browser, i could not get any sharing option on my Android phone either.

    I can see a slight benefit to not being able to receive the grocery list...

    Not being able to share from my phone is very weak.

    I see this was posted almost a year ago. Please MS consider the option to share and print from the Android app. Especially without having to sign in unless you are editing the note. 

    I am a mom and planned to use this app to share with my 2 teenagers, husband, and  other family. A couple of examples- I keep all kinds of notes including personal ones. Let's say I want my son to stop by the store and pick up some groceries, I want to be able to send my list to him (allowing him to check off items as he gets them) but I don't want to give him access to all of my notes. Or a camping list for family members that everyone can contribute to so that we have a solid list of items.

    MS, please seriously consider this option. It would put you leaps and bounds over the competition.  Also note that the longer you delay critical options such as this, the more people you will loose. The market is too competitive for small functionality issues such as this.

    Nah, they can see it in a browser...but only the whole notebook, not just a single page. :(

    As far as I can tell, sharing just one page is almost entirely impossible. Printing it to PDF is also not really possible. You are only able to share an entire notebook, but you can definitely share it with non-OneNote users. (I've just tested it.) If you choose "share a link" in that list, you then choose whether it's view or edit powers, then your list of ways to share the link appears (whatsapp, email, hangouts, etc.). That person can then open the link in any browser. I've just tested this with both whatsapp and gmail. In both occasions I can open the link in a browser. (I've used incognito, obvi.)

    An EXTREMELY annoying workaround is to go to the link in a browser yourself and then print a OneNote page to pdf. :/ (The nice share to email option doesn't appear on the web browser, from what I can tell.)

    Alternatively, I had the option of "convert to PDF" in my share list...but it's a paid service on the app I use...and I defs do.not.pay. Maybe you have an app that does that. (Yes, 3rd party app solutions to Microsoft oversights is super annoying and should have to be a solution.)

    I hope this was helpful. Though, yes...they really need to add this funcitonality to the Android app (especially since it's available from the Windows app).

    Cassandra- your reply only works if both people have the Onenote App. Who does a Onenote use email a Onenote page to a NON-Onenote user? PDF attachment or placing the text in the body of the email. Help........
