I have quite a few notes in the Samsung Notes app and would like to copy these to my local drive, in addition to the cloud. How can I do this? Is there a way to copy all the notes all at once in one file?

@CharlottePink Unfortunately there isn't an easy way to do this. You will need to open each note, go to the 3 dot menu in upper right and click on Save as file.

I've been doing this and thought there might be a better way. Thanks so much for your help.

I would switch to a different notes app, simply because Samsung notes can only be read on a Samsung device unless you save the note as a text file.  If you are never going to leave the Samsung ecoverse, and you want to preserve an "insurance" copy of your notes, I would suggest using Smart Switch and Smart Switch for computer and connect your phone via cable and just choose backup and select the items you want to back up.  I would think selecting Samsung notes would be a choice, but since I had no notes of any importance in my last external backup it wasn't one of the items I chose to backup. I only selectively chose the items I really wanted to save.  You can go through the process and see if the option to save the notes comes up and, if it doesn't, you can abort the backup.  If it does, then there's your solution.

Great suggestion with getting another, more manageable app for notes. Once I bring them all over then I'll make the switch. Speaking of Samsung Switch, I tried to use that utility and it didn't work to access separate notes on my computer. Thanks.

If you use Microsoft's OneNote you can link your Samsung Notes to it and view them from OneNote.
