TLDR make sure you pick the right folder. It took me a while to figure out why my notes were not syncing to my NextCloud instance. So when I clicked through here it created a different Notes folder. The Create folder check box is checked by default. However, my NextCloud folder is “NextCloud”, with a capital ‘C’, the path above has a lowercase ‘c’. I assumed it was detecting my NextCloud directory, and found my Notes folder. The screen above caused me a bunch of confusion, that I admit took my WAY too long to figure out. Now I can launch QOwnNotes from the application launcher and get into the configuration screens. Qownnotes 18.08.9 pbek - Plain-text file notepad with markdown support and ownCloud / Nextcloud integration The setup of QOwnNotes is very easy, as the developer has created a snap package. You can start creating notes now within NextCloud. Now, you should have the Notes app and a Notes directory. Go back to Apps and select the “Integration” category. Next, enable the QOwnNotes API integration within NextCloud. You should see the Notes icon with your apps. Go to Apps, the the “Office and Text” category, and click the ‘Enable’ button under the Notes app. To setup note taking integration, you first need to enable the Notes application within NextCloud. You do need a working NextCloud setup, you can see how I did mine in this post. Honestly, I wish I had looked at this sooner. QOwnNotes can work without a NextCloud integration, and you can use it with just about any syncing application, Dropbox, SeaFile, Syncthing, etc. It gives you the ability to tag notes, search them, has quick, customizable shortcuts, and has some scripting ability (which I haven’t dug into yet.) It supports Markdown, which I have become a fan of the more I use GitLab/GitHub and Ghost. QOwnNotes is a nice, cross-platform note taking application that integrates with the NextCloud Notes application. Most of my note taking has reverted to just text files that reside spread across my Documents directory, and I have no good way of organizing them. Most of my data that was previously in Evernote, I had exported to folders in my Dropbox, but while I kept it, I didn’t really use it anymore.

I had stopped using Evernote a few years ago, when I had switched my daily driver to Linux. The next part of this migration is something that is a LONG time coming, replacing Evernote.
