Moreover, by accessing the same account with your friend, colleagues and family members, It is

By visiting Docs.google.com and signing in, you’ll be able to check out your passcode.
If you have not set your Google Docs account previously, then the only way left is to erase your

When a task is set as Repeat in the monthly calendar, the task will appear only one period at a

Setting up Account
Opening Google Docs & Evernote account lets you manage your notes more effectively.
Once you log into your account, it will automatically keep its log-in status. This means
that you don’t need to log-in to Google Docs or Evernote every time you execute Awesome
Note.
To keep your data secure, set a passcode on some folders and lock it.
Setting > Sync & Transfer > Sign in
Synchronizing
If this is your first time making a Sync, it will take a while to sync with Google Docs or
Evernote. It depends on how many notes & folders you have created, but generally it will
take little longer than the usual Sync time. It needs to generate notes & folders on the Sync target
server.
After your first Sync, the duration will be much less for it will only upload/download the changes
made.
Settings > Sync & Transfer > Sync Now
Turn off the ‘Sync this folder’ switch in Folder Settings to avoid a folder getting synced.
Synchronization
What is ‘Sync’ ?
Synchronization is an operation of making data on aNote’s and PC/Mac (iTunes) or linked
Evernote/Google Docs IDENTICAL. More simply put, think of iTunes or Evernote/Google Docs as
the original source of your data and iPhone/iPad as the copy version. Since sync is basically
making the device identical to iTunes or Evernote/Google Docs, if there were notes A, B, C, and D
in your Evernote and notes D, E and F on your iPhone, the most easily perceived mistake when
sync is that your iPhone will be updated with notes A, B, C, D, E and F. But this is WRONG because
synchronization is again producing an identical copy of the original. The sync result on your
iPhone will therefore be notes A, B, C and D while notes E and F being deleted.
Sync Sequence
1. Closely examine the coincidence of notes between iPhone/iPad and iTunes or Evernote/Google
Docs.
2. If any differences in notes are found, classify for the relatively newer notes.
3. On the basis of this modified date, copy the notes onto the other side. This means copying the
newer notes onto the other side with older notes.
4. Both sides now have the same notes.
Syncing with Google Docs
Awesome Note syncs with Google Docs and it creates ‘Awesome Note’ folders to save the
contents.
IMPORTANT:
Please make sure the capacity of inserted picture per note should be under 1MB to sync with
Google Docs. In addition, each of the synced file contains note format information below the
page. So do not erase it. Otherwise, you will not be able to see the note based on its original
format.
Syncing with Evernote
Evernote creates folders with a label named ‘[aNote]’ while syncing. Be aware that modifying
or deleting this label will disable future syncs for this label is peculiar to Awesome Note data.
Note: Evernote offers users 40MB Traffic capacity every month for free.
To get more capacity, Apply for Evernote Premium Service
Errors while syncing
Please check the below details first.
1. Awesome Note only supports Document formats (DOC, TXT, RTF) and other files such as PDF,
XML, CSV, ODS, ODT, HTML file formats cannot be supported so they do not sync.
2. Check out the size of file attached. Google Docs limits size up to 500KB when syncing with
images and contents.
When error occurs while syncing with Google Docs/Evernote, the following steps should be
checked. These listed problems might occur after making an upgrade.
1. When you have constant log-in error, log into Google Docs with web browser.
2. In case of irregular errors, unstable 3G and Wi-Fi connections might be the reason.
3. In case of irregular errors, It might be due to overcapacity of Google Docs server. Try again
later.
4. When trying to import & export your notes with Google Docs and if only the import does not
work, open up a new account in Google Docs and try again.
IMPORTANT:
We strongly recommend you to backup your data regularly.
Regular syncing with iTunes makes you backup & restore the data easily.

Transferring

just need to share a certain amount of notes with another Awesome Note user.
