Thanks for the great video. All five tips are brand new to me. The way I use Google Keep is for documenting student learning. I have made a folder for each student. The way it works is first I take a picture of the students work. Next I open Google Keep on my iPad. I click the note. Then I click the + at the bottom of the note and add the picture. I put a # with the students name and it automatically goes to the students folder. The best feature is that you can hash tag as many students as you want for a single photo. Then in the notes section I make my comments or feedback or marks. This has definitely lightened the load of papers that I bring home from school to mark.
More great tips, Scott. I like to mark all of my notes as archived so that only new notes created show up in the "Notes" section of Keep. Any note I want to be "Active" I apply a reminder, (but still archive it). On the web I work from the Reminders section. On Android, I use the widget with the Reminders showing - reminder notes sort by due date. Most of my notes are setup with repeating reminders so they cycle back thru the sort order and when I'm completely done with the entire note, i delete the reminder. I treat the Notes section similar to an Inbox. This is where new notes start, and I regularly process, label, applying reminders if necessary, then archiving (or delete). Some examples are note lists for work projects, home projects, events, travel, workouts, etc. I choose to color my notes and add pictures based on the note only, there is no ryhme or reason for how I color them. Keep up the tips and videos, I enjoy them.
Thanks for sharing your system, Greg. This is very helpful and may certainly inspire others! Your archive method within Keep is a great way to keep the homepage nice and organized.
You can see the attached file for your email address and phone numbers for each day and I have been trying to figure this out and I have been working in a couple of days to get back to you
I love adding Labels, so that I can access those notes within a particular subject. For example, I have a kid in her 2nd year of college and one in her senior year of high school. I have a label called "College Money" for all of their FAFSA, Scholarship window opening and deadlines. I may place a list for each kid to check off as they go along for things that they need to handle, such as getting their letters of rec and community service hours inputted into their transcripts, and so on.
Few things. I use it as 'pocket' type thing to where I'll share articles for later. Also, ill use it to share screenshots to keep, then use the handwriting feature to do whatever I'm doing the screenshot. So this is 2 ways you can save yourself from downloading other apps and do them right in keep. And thanks for the video sir.
Dipping my toe in the Google Keep pool. Mind blown 💥. Just downloaded the app on my android 📱and will be coupling with the desktop 💻 version. When was this launched? 🤔It is amazing to maintain one's sanity🙌🤪. Thank you for the tips. Can't wait to try the features that you shared. Cheers!
Hi Scott, I have tried the voice recorder in Google Keep (on my mobile) and saw that the recording stops 3 seconds after a sentence was stopped (when you wait al little bit to continue with a following sentence). You can add a second recording in the same note (by hitting the + icon) but there is no way to have 1 recording of a full conversation with interruptions. Unless you have a solution. My solution is to record a full conversation with a recording-app and then share it into Evernote. But then I don't have the text in my note. It is possible to send a voice recording into Trello, Google Drive, OneNote, Dropbox.... but not into Google Keep (it seems). Unless I first store it on my computer and then add it to a note in Google Keep. That's a pity.
Thanks for sharing your user feedback, Christian. This is very helpful for those who are considering the pros and cons of using this app. As for the narration stoppage, I don't have a good workaround at this time.
Thanks again Google for creating another FREE app so we can organize our life. Nice video, the voice recorder is great as it saves so much time on the job site!
Thank you for a very useful video. I was contemplating a few solutions to organising tasks and some were quite expensive. This has saved me some money and is very suited to my needs. Thanks again!
I love Keep. Sometimes I type in some silly little reminders. A few times I had some dreams with the words all twisted into weird sentences. I had to write it out- and the check boxes for grocery lists or trips.
Great video. I use Keep for my shopping list also. I usually shop the same two stores every week. The location reminder is great but has one drawback. You can only specify one place. So, in my case, to be reminded at both stores I would need a separate list for each store.
Hi Scott!! I have actually discovered you today... and I really love your videos, not only for the organization tips and tricks (that's was what I was looking for), but for something even better!! Are you a teacher or something??? I mean, your pronounciation is SOOO clear!!! I'm always getting frustrated at movies, series and even radio announcers or tv journalists... because even as I attended at an English school, I'm never able to understand the whole thing!!! And the best thing is that you talk about topics I'm interested in. Never stop being so clear and I chanllenge you to teach us (all Spanish speakers) new vocabulary, even like street or modern slang!! XD By the way, do you have any video comparing or explaining how to use together Google Keep & Google Tasks? I could'n find one! Best regards!!!!! :-)
Thank you so much for your kind words, Yvonne. I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying my videos! I don't have such a Keep + Tasks video yet. But thanks for the great idea for a future video.
Thanks for the great video but I would like to know how Google Keep can be integrated with Google Calendar meaning how can I get my images to be shown in the calendar mobile app. ??? Reminders appear to be no problem. 👍👍 Great video keep up the good work and thank you. I'm a new subscriber.
Thanks for commenting and subscribing! I'm glad to hear that you've got the reminders setup proberly. However, as of right now, I'm not aware of a way for the images to transfer over and appear directly in the Calendar app.
I love KEEP and you taught me new tricks. Thank you. I know how to add an image from Google Photos from mobile, but from desktop it directs me to my desktop files...Any thoughts on how do I get to Google Photos images? Thx again.
That's a great question, Joe. You may want to download the 'App Downloads' option from within Photos so that you can access your Google images directly from your computer. I'll admit, it does seem silly that you can't do this directly from Keep.
Hi, very great videos (I learned a lot thanks !). The voice recognition is awesome when I do it in french (I'm french) ; meanwhile when done in english this is far from getting a decent result (I work in a international context for years and thought my englih was decent). Any idea to bypass this difficulty ?
At 6:00 there is mentioned an "annotation button", the pen icon. My version of Keep doesn't have this. Mobile Android version has it, but not the desktop version. ?? Great, informative, professional videos btw!
Hmm, I'm not sure why this wouldn't be showing on the desktop version for you. Perhaps someone else here in the comments will have an idea. Thanks for watching!
2:25 adding location based reminder (ex. safeway, TJs, target, bestbuy) will pop item when device is near location. 7:25 mobile voice recorded notes transcribed to txt. would be nice to see a demo of how to record and send it to keep.
Thank you Scott, very good tips! I am a GTD-user and I base my list & projects in Google Sheets -- is there any way for me to integrate my notes in Google Keep in one of my lists (for example, for my Notes to integrate directly into my Inbox sheet in Google sheets?) Would be great if you have some suggestions. Thank you!
That's a great question, Khanh. Keep does integrate with Google Docs but it does not yet integrate with Sheets. If you'd like to learn more how to set this connection up with Drive, I recommend reviewing the following article: www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-integrate-google-keep-with-google-docs/
Currently, my 12 employees send me their pay sheets for payroll as an attachment in an email. Would it be better for them to use a shared drive? Should I create a separate shared drive for each staff with the template of the pay sheet for them to fill out each pay? Would they just make a copy and fill out in their shared drive. Attempting to streamline our system. Thank you for all of your tips and tricks. I enjoy your videos! So helpful!
Hey Scott. Thanks for the ideas. I am having a hard time getting my reminders to ring and alarm or show up as a reminder. What do I do? (I set the alarm and then nothing happens. I went into settings and all of my notifications are on for this app?
I use google keep for 1. keeping locations (copy and paste address from google maps) 2. typing text in pc and then copying text from google keep to phone message I can't remember other useful things
Location based reminders are fine...WHEN they actually work. I'm on Android Nougat and I always get my reminder LOOOONG after I've drive by the location I entered. Sometimes as long as 30 MINUTES after. So for me it hasn't been helpful. Probably just my crappy phone. OTOH, I love everything else about Keep and it's now my ONLY notes app. Deleted Evernote (never could be efficient with it). OneNote was my go-to 6before I found Keep. Liked it, but again...more complex than I need. OneNote is now also gone. Didn't know about the voice stuff. Gonna definitely be using that!
Nice nifty all-in-one tool that keeps being improved. There are a few things I dislike about Keep. One - the voice recorder / memo / transcriber stops the record too fast - it cuts me in the middle of my sentence if I am speaking too slow. I am wondering if there is a way to fix that.
Yes, I've noticed that Keep can sometimes be too quick to stop a recording during a brief pause. I'm not sure if there is away around that at the moment. But thanks for sharing!
I've noticed that Google is often pretty lazy about continuing to improve their products. Too big of a monster to keep track of all our nitpicking requests :) ... perhaps the goal of putting all of our data in their database is more important than a single customer satisfaction :)
Good video! Do you know if its possible to use a map to set location reminders? Rather than addresses or place names. What about using the current location? Ie. "remind me the next time I'm around here" Cheers!
I am new hear and I would like to know if Goigle Keeper should best be used as a note taker or a to-do list, I mean, it would be a good replacement for Evernote or Todoist for example, taking into account someone like me who, as retired, do not have much stuff to take care about.
Great question, Sergio. Google Keep was designed to be a note-taking app first and foremost. But having said that, I know many people who use it as a to-do list just like many use Evernote as their to-do list. And of course, you can always use Keep for both purposes. Like in the video example, you may want to use a checklist note for your to-do's and then have thre rest of your notes seperated. I hope that helps!
Very helpful thanks, may I sake what do you recommend to do to be able to see if the person I sent him my email did he read it ?when he did, or still unread.
Simpletivity only when record a audio, but I would like something where I can add an audio from another person or mp3 file such as a podcast for exemple.
I left Google keep for OneNote, before that I used evernote. I find OneNote very powerful and does a lot that Google keep also does. My big problem with OneNote is that it is such a large app it takes up way to much storage on my mobile device. Now I don't have a tool to quick add notes. I removed Onenote on my mobile device. I think I will install Google keep based on your review. Do you have a tip how to integrate Google Keep with OneNote?
Thanks for sharing your journey, Gertjan. Unfortunately, there is not a great way to transition between apps. You may have to resort to copying and pasting as a part of the process.
I had the same problem w OneNote once inmy phone and I solved it by closing all the notebooks that I was not using. It reduced tremendously the amount of space. I think thay I left only the Quick Notes section open and if I needed to see or use other notebooks I used the Online version. You can send notes from G Keep w the app Send to One Note or by clicking the share/send to/move to icon and then clicking One Note, which will ask you in wht section to save it
I am always keeping proof of purchase of items like tv, phone etc etc. Because all shops are tricky , if we keep their silky receipts in a drawer for more than 28 days, it may fade. That's why them are purposely doing like that. I am always taking a picture of all important receipts and keep it in Google Keep.
I have 1000s of notes. Is there any way to do complex searches with frequency of finds where notes with the most matches come up first? I have trouble finding things.
I am very bad with papers, like if someone gives me a business card or wants to share with me a recipe, for example, I know it would be lost in a stack of papers or somewhere else out of sight (... and out of mind...), Also, I prefer to save paper in favor of trees, environment, ecology, etc. So... what I do is to take a picture of that paper, and immediately click share/open in/send or copy to G Keep. When it opens, my pic is therer attached. I only add a title and brief note and pin it to work in that note later (add to contacts, or save in OneNote, label it and add category color IF I will leave it there for quick access, Also, if I’m in a store, for example and I see a product to compare or look up later, I do the same of taking a picture to save there with title, pin and note + reminder. When you delete a picture from your gallery or folder, it stays in G Keep. I have also taken quick notes there to review later. In summary, I am realizing now that I am using G Keep as a drop box to manage later all what I add there either to keep there sorted for quick reference, or to work with them to take actions (research, move, share, colaborate in G Maps, etc).
Hey Scott....need help...I want notes to be displayed in 1 or 2 lines only....and not all lines. How can I do it? I hate viewing a list showing me the entire content of all notes....
Is there a way to annotate images with typed text? It doesn't look like it in the app itself but maybe there is a chrome extension out there. Any ideas?
That's a great question, John. You're right that the app (both web and mobile) don't do this. I'm not aware of a chrome extension, but if you happen to find one, please share. Thanks!
Too bad this is only available for iOS devices. I am always looking for better ways to capture and organize ideas, links, quotations, screenshots, reminders, thoughts, to-dos, etc. on my Mac.
Hi, Donna. You actually can use Keep on your Mac, but only if you use the Chrome extension (not sure if that's your browser of choice). Here's a brief article that explains how: www.rawinfopages.com/mac/content/add-google-keep-notes-dock-os-x
I am trying to integrate Keep with Google Assistant so when I ask Google to take a note and put it in keep instead of the default. I cannot seem to figure out how to do this
It seems like this fully integrated option may still be rolling out: www.androidpolice.com/2018/12/19/google-assistant-notes-and-lists-are-live-for-some-still-no-keep-integration-though/
Google Keep quits synching between Android and Windows if I haven't opened the app in Windows for awhile. Apparently it won't synch items that haven't been synched within a certain period of time.
I had several notes that I saved and they all completely went away today! I am devastated as I had so much in those notes. Is there a way to retrieve everything?
Hi Rose, I'd suggest two things to look at: 1) Check Archive to see if they may have ended up there. 2) Access Keep on another device to see if there may have been a sync/refresh issue. I hope that helps!
How can I group some existing images on Google Keep? Google Keep grouped images when I upload them together but I want to group new images with existing images on Google Keep..
G-Keep keeps getting hung up, like it has to stop to load all the notes or just re-page (lot of TH-cam links); move most Notes to Archive, still hangs up to the point of being unusable. Works ok on Windows machines and cell phones, but Chromebook is almost unusable, it hangs up so badly.
To Me I Wish The Note Would Go Directly Into Your Folder/Label Instead Of Putting Them Into Your Archive. I Like The Pined Function. If I'm Doing Some Thing Wrong/Missing Some Thing Let Me Know.

Fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing how you use this for teaching, Monica.
I don’t understand how this would work since google keep doesn’t have folders?

OMG the location based reminder is next level stuff !!!
Plus the sharing of lists. Totally going to setup a shopping list with my mum right now !
That's a great use of this tool. All the best as you make it your own!
I really liked the idea and use of archiving your notes. I also liked linking your notes to calendar events as well.
Thanks so much for sharing!
More great tips, Scott. I like to mark all of my notes as archived so that only new notes created show up in the "Notes" section of Keep. Any note I want to be "Active" I apply a reminder, (but still archive it). On the web I work from the Reminders section.

I love adding Labels, so that I can access those notes within a particular subject. For example, I have a kid in her 2nd year of college and one in her senior year of high school. I have a label called "College Money" for all of their FAFSA, Scholarship window opening and deadlines. I may place a list for each kid to check off as they go along for things that they need to handle, such as getting their letters of rec and community service hours inputted into their transcripts, and so on.
I love it! Thanks so much for sharing how you use Keep.

I'm so glad that you've found Keep and enjoyed the video! Google Keep was first launched in 2013 and just 'keeps' getting better. 😊
Hi Scott, this video is concise and to-the-point. Great narration and an excellent way to put things on this wonderful app.
I'm so glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Scott for these useful tips, especially about voice recording on the mobile version + location in a reminder
You're very welcome, Christian. Thanks for watching!
Hi Scott, I have tried the voice recorder in Google Keep (on my mobile) and saw that the recording stops 3 seconds after a sentence was stopped (when you wait al little bit to continue with a following sentence).

That's a great question. I believe you can do this on the mobile app, I just haven't tested it myself.

You're right. It looks as though you need to enter either the address or place name.
Awesome!

I am new hear and I would like to know if Goigle Keeper should best be used as a note taker or a to-do list, I mean, it would be a good replacement for Evernote or Todoist for example, taking into account someone like me who, as retired, do not have much stuff to take care about.
Great question, Sergio. Google Keep was designed to be a note-taking app first and foremost. But having said that, I know many people who use it as a to-do list just like many use Evernote as their to-do list. And of course, you can always use Keep for both purposes. Like in the video example, you may want to use a checklist note for your to-do's and then have thre rest of your notes seperated. I hope that helps!
Great tips.... thank you very much.
You are very welcome!
can you lock you notes or privatize them in another way??
Very helpful thanks, may I sake what do you recommend to do to be able to see if the person I sent him my email did he read it ?when he did, or still unread.
When it comes to tracking email, I recommend Boomerang as a great place to start. You can learn more at boomeranggmail.com
There is a way to add a MP3 and transcript this audio for listening and read at same time?
Yes, when recording an audio file to Keep, you can transcribe it into text right away.
Simpletivity only when record a audio, but I would like something where I can add an audio from another person or mp3 file such as a podcast for exemple.
I understand. No, this is not currently a capability of Keep.
Color coding & labels/tags makes for easy searching
That's right. Using the search bar to filter by these factors can make finding your notes so much easier. Thanks for watching!
BamBamTheInfluence I always struggle tho in how exactly to color code.
I left Google keep for OneNote, before that I used evernote. I find OneNote very powerful and does a lot that Google keep also does. My big problem with OneNote is that it is such a large app it takes up way to much storage on my mobile device. Now I don't have a tool to quick add notes. I removed Onenote on my mobile device. I think I will install Google keep based on your review. Do you have a tip how to integrate Google Keep with OneNote?
Thanks for sharing your journey, Gertjan. Unfortunately, there is not a great way to transition between apps. You may have to resort to copying and pasting as a part of the process.
I had the same problem w OneNote once inmy phone and I solved it by closing all the notebooks that I was not using. It reduced tremendously the amount of space. I think thay I left only the Quick Notes section open and if I needed to see or use other notebooks I used the Online version. You can send notes from G Keep w the app Send to One Note or by clicking the share/send to/move to icon and then clicking One Note, which will ask you in wht section to save it
I am always keeping proof of purchase of items like tv, phone etc etc. Because all shops are tricky , if we keep their silky receipts in a drawer for more than 28 days, it may fade. That's why them are purposely doing like that. I am always taking a picture of all important receipts and keep it in Google Keep.
thanks
I have 1000s of notes. Is there any way to do complex searches with frequency of finds where notes with the most matches come up first? I have trouble finding things.
I am very bad with papers, like if someone gives me a business card or wants to share with me a recipe, for example, I know it would be lost in a stack of papers or somewhere else out of sight (... and out of mind...), Also, I prefer to save paper in favor of trees, environment, ecology, etc. So... what I do is to take a picture of that paper, and immediately click share/open in/send or copy to G Keep. When it opens, my pic is therer attached. I only add a title and brief note and pin it to work in that note later (add to contacts, or save in OneNote, label it and add category color IF I will leave it there for quick access, Also, if I’m in a store, for example and I see a product to compare or look up later, I do the same of taking a picture to save there with title, pin and note + reminder. When you delete a picture from your gallery or folder, it stays in G Keep. I have also taken quick notes there to review later. In summary, I am realizing now that I am using G Keep as a drop box to manage later all what I add there either to keep there sorted for quick reference, or to work with them to take actions (research, move, share, colaborate in G Maps, etc).
Thanks so much for sharing your system and how you use Google Keep and other tools.
Sharing and GDPR? Are there GDPR-appropriate restrictions on group sharing?

Hey Scott....need help...I want notes to be displayed in 1 or 2 lines only....and not all lines. How can I do it? I hate viewing a list showing me the entire content of all notes....
Do we have to download this app on our phone ?
You can use in your desktop browser and/or download the app for your phone.
Is there a way to annotate images with typed text? It doesn't look like it in the app itself but maybe there is a chrome extension out there. Any ideas?
That's a great question, John. You're right that the app (both web and mobile) don't do this. I'm not aware of a chrome extension, but if you happen to find one, please share. Thanks!
Cool
Too bad this is only available for iOS devices. I am always looking for better ways to capture and organize ideas, links, quotations, screenshots, reminders, thoughts, to-dos, etc. on my Mac.
Hi, Donna. You actually can use Keep on your Mac, but only if you use the Chrome extension (not sure if that's your browser of choice). Here's a brief article that explains how: www.rawinfopages.com/mac/content/add-google-keep-notes-dock-os-x
If you open your Gmail account, and select the lines in the upper right corner, Keep is available in the list of tools.
Google Keep had icons such as rain or sun that I could imbed into my notes...until about a month ago. Can I get them back?
How would I copy and paste my notes into Instagram or a Facebook post?
I am trying to integrate Keep with Google Assistant so when I ask Google to take a note and put it in keep instead of the default. I cannot seem to figure out how to do this
It seems like this fully integrated option may still be rolling out: www.androidpolice.com/2018/12/19/google-assistant-notes-and-lists-are-live-for-some-still-no-keep-integration-though/
how to sync google keep with gmail instantly ? For ex. if i want to copy text note/message in google keep which i just wrote in gmail ?
Can I change the reminder ringtone?
I think it might depend on your phone. If you take a look at your Notification Settings, you may see an option to change this.
i wish i could use it as a journal as well. but it doesn't provide the most important feature i require. automatic time & date add.
True, you would need to add this manually to each note. But a great idea none the less. Thanks for sharing, Omar.
You could use G calendar as a journak too if you write in the Notes field.
Google Keep quits synching between Android and Windows if I haven't opened the app in Windows for awhile. Apparently it won't synch items that haven't been synched within a certain period of time.
I had several notes that I saved and they all completely went away today! I am devastated as I had so much in those notes. Is there a way to retrieve everything?
Hi Rose, I'd suggest two things to look at: 1) Check Archive to see if they may have ended up there. 2) Access Keep on another device to see if there may have been a sync/refresh issue. I hope that helps!
How can I group some existing images on Google Keep? Google Keep grouped images when I upload them together but I want to group new images with existing images on Google Keep..
Mine keeps freezing/getting-hung-up (on my Chromebook only). I tried moving most Notes to Archive, no luck. Any suggestions?
6:53 Your annotations disappeared on the image. Google bug??
Nice observation. I hadn't noticed that before. Yes, perhaps it was a bug or just a minor delay in showing the added annotations.
I transfer quickmemo+ files as pdf files over to my moto g6. Now how do i get google notes to read them

How do one add content from Google Drive to Keep?
You can find out how in another one of my videos: th-cam.com/video/uH5imTUEUoc/w-d-xo.html
É possível usar o método GTD no Google keep?
G-Keep keeps getting hung up, like it has to stop to load all the notes or just re-page (lot of TH-cam links); move most Notes to Archive, still hangs up to the point of being unusable.
Works ok on Windows machines and cell phones, but Chromebook is almost unusable, it hangs up so badly.
Can we put a list in alphabetical order?
Sorry, but this is not currently possible.
When I search in the phone for a "word", the results don't include Google Keep....any suggestions?
Is it possible to hide notes in Google keep?
Image annotation does not work in firefox
To Me I Wish The Note Would Go Directly Into Your Folder/Label Instead Of Putting Them Into Your Archive. I Like The Pined Function. If I'm Doing Some Thing Wrong/Missing Some Thing Let Me Know.
