.note file location

Hi

New to my 10.3 and loving it so far.  One question is where are my Note files actually stored, I have asked for PDFs to be created on exit / update then they are mirrored under Library and under Storage but only as PDFs but I am unable to find the location of my file structure I have created under the Notes icon at all.  Ideally I would like to have uploaded PDF documents that I have marked up stored with my Notes, all in one folder.  Without knowing where the .note files are, I have to create a filing structure under Notes then re-create it again under storage unless I ask for a PDF version to be created (but thats a PDF of my notes, not the actual note).  Very complicated and totally bizarre?  Thanks

  Dear customer,
  We are afraid that the native notes files are not accessible. To access the .note file, you need to manually export the notes to .note file by long-pressing the notepad cover > Share & Export > .note format. 

  The .note file is only used to backup the notes, we are afraid that it is unable to open the .note file on a non-BOOX device.

  Many thanks for your time and understanding.

  I have the exact same problem. I did create a folder structure in my cloud and use drivesync. However, if I delete, rename, or change the folder in the notes app, it duplicates in the storage/note folder which creates a a big mess. If I knew where the .note files were stored, I can create a tasker task to organize this.

  Have you found out where the .note files are stored?

  I have found a way to do this, but it is currently a hack. I am hoping that Onyx Boox will make an official option for it.

  1) Do not sync with Onyx Boox Cloud
  2) Enable generate pdf when exiting a note
  3) Bind a third party account and select syncing. note file
  4) Turn off syncing for the third party account, but leave it binded
  5) Remove the Onyx Boox permission from your cloud account webpage

  This way, in the /note folder BOTH the .note and .pdf files are automatically created.

  Note that they are not removed upon deleting, moving, or renaming the note. Nor does deleting these files affect the note. They are just automatically exported. To re-export the pdf, open and close the note. To re-export the. note file, change the note a bit.
