Put some order in the OS X Notes app

hierarchy-folders-in-notes

If you are one of the users, who like me, works with the iPhone, iPad and Mac, this little work procedure will help you to have a little more order within the Notes application. As you know, this application It is one of those that is present in both OS X and iOS and, in turn, it is one of those that is synchronized via iCloud between devices. 

However, what we are going to tell you today can only be generated from the application for OS X and later enjoy the changes in the version for iOS. 

How many times have you entered the Notes app on your iPhone and have you wondered if there is no way to have those notes arranged under a series of criteria? The answer to your question has a solution and is that in the OS X version you can manage the different folders in which you can then enter the notes.

This need has arisen when I want to have folders within folders to have the notes of each of the class groups, by level in which I currently teach. In this way I would like have a folder for 1st ESO and within them a folder for 1st A, 1st B, and so on.

After digging into the iOS application on the iPad, I have come up with nothing, but when I entered the OS X application I did find the solution I was looking for. Those of Cupertino have allowed OS X we can drag folders into folders, gesture that in iOS, or they have forgotten to implement it or they do not want us to do that from the iPad or iPhone.

The fact is that in the application for OS X, after creating the folders with which we want to make the folder tree, all we will have to do is drag some folders on top of others so that the tree is built. It is very simple and in a matter of minutes you will have a whole hierarchy of folders created. 

Now, when you go to see the result on your iPad or iPhone, you will see that the folders are not really hidden inside others but what the system does is show them all but in a hierarchy tree. 

Finish the article by reminding you that in the next version of OS X, Apple has implemented for the first time, the passwords for this application, so that in order to see the notes we have to enter a password or use the Touch ID on mobile devices.

    Unfortunately, between my iPhone ios 9 and mac with yosemite neither synchronization is possible 🙁… they also forgot about this or they don't want it to be done? Also I can't update El Capitan because of some driver drivers that don't exist yet 🙁 :(. Anyway the information is appreciated.
