Backing Up Samsung Note Via PC

Today almost every person on the planet is carrying around a personal computer in their pocket. According to statista.com, there are an estimated 269.44 million smartphone users in the United States alone. And of those millions of users just shy of half of them use an Android and 25% of total smartphones bought in the US are Samsung phones.

While carrying around a pocket-sized computer is great there are times when backing up to a full-sized laptop or desktop PC is necessary. Either your phone ran out of space, you want to make sure that your notes are safeguarded in the case of the phone breaking or being lost.

Whatever the case may be here are the steps you need to follow so you can back up your Samsung notes to your PC automatically.

For those of us who want to avoid the hassle of having to remember when the last time we manually moved files from our Samsung device to a PC, which is more like using a club than a scalpel. Going through the initial setup for automated syncing is worth it.

Software Requirements

Make sure that you have Samsung notes app installed on both your phone and your Windows PC. If you are unable to download the app make sure that you have the most recent software downloaded. Below are the requirements.
