This worked for almost all the apps that had the share option. This was opening a Share dialog of OneNote where I could put an optional comment and select the section where I wanted to save it. I was already using Microsoft OneNote ( for those who don’t know, OneNote is one of the best note-taking apps out there from Microsoft that is free, feature-rich, and with native apps for all the platforms) and found that there is a OneNote option in the Share menu. There were several options available( most of them native Mac apps ). This is accessible for almost all the apps in Mac by going to File Menu -> Share.
I found that Mac has got a Share menu option ( I am using Big Sur and I assume it to be there for the older versions as well ). I wanted something that would be natural, native to Mac, and a common system-wide function that can be triggered using a simple shortcut. This again may work for the files, but you are still required to put the files in a folder for sync and may not work with other shareable items like links. Share to iCloud and access iCloud ( or Gdrive ) from Mac and Phone.Also require the app to be installed in the Android. This required me to have AirDroid running in a browser always and go there for sharing. I was really frustrated when I wanted to send a file to my Android phone from the Mac. I have read and seen that having an iPhone with your MacBook is the killer combo that makes many things work seamlessly. I am still using my Samsung Android phone. Now, I am not really a part of the complete Apple “ecosystem”. It is so simple that you could set this entire thing up in just 10 minutes.
We will see the background and simple setup required for that in this post. I solved this frustration to a level by leveraging Microsoft OneNote and using it as a shared clipboard that can easily share and sync items from Mac to Android ( links, files, or anything that I wanted to “Share” ) with simple shortcut.
