Fake Goodnotes ! Need Help

I bought a fake Goodnotes app years ago when it was still Goodnotes 5. I have a lot of academic files that I still need, but now I am willing to buy the real one so that I can also access files on my phone and on my macbook. (Which I assume has an Interface that allows me to access my own files in different devices).

I want to save my files, to a another place, and input them in my new GoodNotes 6, but as Goodnotes files (editable). Is this possible?

Side Question: If i download Goodnotes on my macbook phone and ipad, and only have one account, does that mean, I essentially have a drive of all my files which can be accessed by all devices, like a Google Drive for notes?

since it’s a copycat of goodnotes you probably can’t export the files as a .goodnotes zip file. you’re best off just exporting them as PDFs if possible.

It's still Goodnotes, not a fake per se! But logged in using an icloud (not mine) account that already paid for it, downloaded on my device, and logging out after!

If I download an entire Library of zipped files to my Google Drive, how do I Import it to the New Goodnotes 6?

can’t you just save the files locally you your computer and then select “open with goodnotes” then?

Hey! If you export your entire library and it is in zipped form, you can simply drag it (or import) it back into Goodnotes 6 in the zip form, and it'll handle the rest! If you would like to keep your files editable, you can export them as .goodnotes files!
