I have cumulated maybe 100 Samsung Notes in my Galaxy device. As backup, I use Smart Switch to copy the phone data to my laptop. I like to keep my Notes separately in my laptop.
I connected the phone to my laptop using a USB-C cable. I see a folder “P’s Z Flip5” and “Internal Storage”. When I clicked on the Internal Storage, it showed a bunch of folders but I did not see any folder name related to Samsung Notes. I clicked on the Documents folder and it was empty.
Where are Samsung Notes stored? Ideally, I like to copy all my Notes into my laptop individually.
Working now. I read all the suggestions again and Garyb82 suggested I installed Samsung Notes and Samsung Account. I did not know that Samsung Account was an app! So, I installed Samsung Account and now I can sign in. I then clicked “Sync now” and after a few minutes, I now see all my notes in my PC.
I am not familiar how this “sync” works. 1. When I edit one of the notes in my handset, does the change go to Samsung Cloud automatically? 2. And does the change go to my PC as well? 3. What if I edit a note in my PC, would this change sync back to my handset? 4. When I open a note in my PC, the font is extremely large, like size 16. Is there any way I can change them all at once to a reasonable font size?
When you have your notes synced, since the data is all kept in the cloud and not on your device(s), any change you make on one device will carry over to the other device when you open the note. As I understand it, there is no facility to make a default font size in the Notes app. If the type appears to large for you, you may be able to utilize the screen zoom out function. You think 16 point font is large?

As you said, data of my Samsung Notes are now in Samsung Cloud, not in my Flip-5. However, when I put my handset to airplane mode, I can still access my notes. Why?
I just ordered my Flip-7 and plan to use Smart Switch to transfer the data. Do I have to do something special to Samsung Notes?
You will still be able to access your notes and create new notes offline, however, they will not sync until you are back online, so you may not see changes in one instance if one device was offline at the time the last change took place. You will only see the last change that was synced before going offline. If someone was to open notes on the other device while you were making offline changes, they would not see the changes you made, not would you see any they made until the notes sync up again.

I will be getting a Flip-7 in 2 weeks. I will just use Smart Switch to copy the data as usual, right? Data in WhatsApp will have to be handled separately.
You can do a complete Smart Switch transfer, or you can do a selective transfer of the apps/settings/data you want. Why would WhatsApp have to be handled separately? Even when doing a complete transfer, some apps will not transfer over due to DRM and will have to be redownloaded.

Since data of Samsung Notes does not reside in the handset, I guess Smart Switch would copy the settings and the new handset would download the notes from Samsung Cloud.
There are a few very important notes which I like to keep a copy in my PC. What I did was select the whole document and pasted it in Word. Is there a better way?
