>“Store notebooks on your local hard drive instead of in the cloud

What is the point of storing these Onenote files in the local drive in the first place?

- These notes cannot be opened or searched with another application. They cannot be opened with other applications. They have always been Onenote databases. If you have onenote installed, you don’t need them; if you don’t have onenote installed they have always been useless.

- the current Onenote also caches similarly. You can use the application forever without ever being connected to the Internet. The MS cloud is not required. you use it only if you want to access your files across across many devises.

Unless I am missing sth, some of the complains in here don’t make much sense.

I am one of the people who hates corporate greed and not so much fond of the Cloud. But, the points raised in here against the new version of Onenote are, I think, based on misunderstandings.
