iCloud Sync keeps your Goodnotes data up to date across Apple devices signed in to the same Apple Account. To browse synced notes, open Goodnotes on a synced device. iCloud Sync does not create individual files that you can browse in iCloud Drive or the Files app.
Please note: Goodnotes data stored through iCloud Sync cannot be located as individual files in iCloud Drive.
Browse synced Goodnotes data
Open Goodnotes and view your notebooks in Library view on any Apple device where iCloud Sync is enabled with the same Apple Account. Synced Goodnotes data is available inside Goodnotes, not as separate files in iCloud Drive.
