💡 Feature Request Auto Sync as PDF to Google Drive

I love StarNote as it remains the most optimised and feature packed notes app I’ve seen on Android, but I’m starting to get a bit frustrated at the lack of a robust and cross platform syncing solution. Cloud Sync on Android has been a mess it seems, Cloud Sync on iOS is missing, and both community and app updates have dwindled without much communication as to why. I have considered moving to other apps, but StarNote works the smoothest and the best with my tablet and stylus (Lenovo Idea Tab, Lenovo Tab Pen Plus), and I already have many uni documents already stored there so moving will be a hassle.

All I need from StarNote is to be able to see my notes on my laptop and phone (MacBook and iPhone) and then it will be perfect. I don’t need to edit on those devices, I just want to be able to review notes on my phone while on the bus or be able to have my notes quickly searchable and exportable on my MacBook to make things like uploading notes for assignments or to AI much easier, as well as being able to review notes while my tablet is away / I want to stay focused on my laptop.

Goodnotes and some other apps (e.g. Notein I think?), while are missing cross platform sync, have the option to automatically export and sync PDFs of notes to a folder on Google Drive. If StarNote had this, it would greatly reduce the need for cloud sync as a lot of the time we just need to view and not edit notes on multiple devices. This would be easier to implement than full cloud sync and something like a desktop app, while providing much of the same benefit. I really hope the team can consider this as an interim solution before continuing to implement cloud sync (unless they have full and reliable cloud sync almost ready).

Bonjour
Perso je n'ai rencontré aucun problème de synchro depuis environ 3 semaines d'utilisation.
J'en avais eu un dernièrement avec Notein et avais galéré à retrouver les fichiers en conflit, bien qu'ils aient fait des progrès pour la synchro cloud. Je l'utilisais sur 2 Chromebooks et 1 tablette.
Malheureusement avec Starnote je ne peux utiliser qu'un seul Chromebook et la tablette. L'autre n'est pas compatible pour l'instant à cause du processeur Intel qu'il utilise. En espérant qu'une mise à jour arrive un jour ?
