UWP: Open OneNote Notebook from OneDrive Sync Folder via the url Internet Shortcut
2020-03-23 07:51
We know that the OneNote notebook synced with the OneDrive client in Windows is displayed as a .url file shortcut.
The .url file is actually just a link to https, not a substantive OneNote notebook.
So, as normal, we can't open the OneNote notebook with this .url file.
Gem Menu for OneNote UWP add-in, now provides a right-click menu item “Open OneNote Notebook (url)” for using .url file to open the corresponding OneNote notebook.
If you try to double-click on the .url file under OneDrive's sync folder, an error window pops up:
Open OneDrive's sync folder.
Right-click on the .url file of a OneNote notebook we want to open.
In the right-click menu -> Sen to -> “Open OneNote Notebook (url)” menu item.
Next, a sign-in window pops up, and you'll sign in with a Microsoft account same as OneDrive client.
Once you've successfully signed in, OneNote UWP opens the notebook.
