Question S23 iPad users - Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

Hej, so i use macbook, ipad Pro and instead of an iphone14 i went for s23 ultra. So far happy but facing some difficulties to get used to. I know apple and samsung apps do not really 'talk' so looking for your inputs regarding sms or call app that informs both OS at the same time? Also, how do you share images to ipad now that airdrop is not a thing for me anymore.. Need to find a way.
I also ditched apple books for amazon kindle and paid for moleskin journey app that works with both iPadOS amd Samsung platforms and syncs well. Looking for any app suggestions that works on both iPad OS and samsung/android.
Thanks in advance .

I use Google Drive to share files between iPad, desktop computer (Linux) and smartphone. Sometimes an external SSD drive.
Regards.

I have the same devices, Images I offload them periodically from the phone, you can use for example Lightroom, google photos, foldersync and a network share like on a NAS.
SMS Infos , you can switch from the standard messages stuff to the google messages, they have an option to view online. Calls i dont know, i am sorry...
Feel free to ask any other app types or workflows and can share infos.

File sharing between devices , i use cable and Android Transfer , or cxfile explorer and filezilla on a mac , or just a network share where i copy the files from the phone , or sftp and copy directly on the mac from the phone.

Gdrive and google photos is my solution as well since my cloud storage now is google.

Lightroom could be a good idea. I have little knowledge about network share will check it out. Feel free to write any new app you find that syncs on both platforms.

for contacts and mails I use google services, on mac transfer all the contacts to the google account ,and calendar aswell , just use the google one. that will be present on the phone aswell , you have notes too that you can use on a mac. Alternatively you can use onenote if you like that better. these should cover it.

You got the basic answers except for sms and calls. If you happen to be on Verizon, their Message+ app will allow you to text and call on the iPad via your phone. You have to run the app on both devices. I did this a couple of years ago, but didn't really care for the app that much. I'm not sure what it is like now. As an aside, you can do this and still use a different texting app on your phone. If I recall, texts you send from the iPad won't show up in the other app though. Incoming texts show in both.

For notes i found a hack. Install google keep in ipad or mac, you can now share apple notes to google keep. Install keep in your phone and voila, shared apple notes are here. They won't auto update though but gotta live with it i had to sync my old notes from apple.

@Ornisense found another way. in the samsung notes app you can enable sync with onenote. then on the mac just use onenote

This is my setup:
MacMini M2 Pro and ipad pro 12.9 6th
Galaxy S23 Ultra and S22
Windows AMD based pc
I'm using Office 365 on all devices (family version, purchased with great discount on Amazon. It is happening sometime). This include 1TB of OneDrive space for all the users.
I've installed Onedrive on all the devices and Samsung Gallery automatically synch with OneDrive so I'm finding the pictures on all the devices at the same time.
Same tool also for the files (Onedrive is integrated in the Mac Finder and iPad File application so it is very convenient to use). Unfortunately Apple Photo is not synching with anything else but iCloud but there are alternative for picture magament (e.g. XnView or similar).
For notes I use OneNote. Working well everywhere.
PDF I have uPDF that with one license is working on Mac, Windows,Android and iPad.
VSCode is working in Mac and Windows very well.
Office app (word,excel, powerpoint,outlook) is installable on all the devices (Mac,IOS , Android and Windows)
NAS is where I store data in my house so it is a common place for all the files.
As file manager I use the great TotalCommander on Windows and CommanderOne Pro and MuCommander on Mac.

You have all the answers! My wife uses my google one subscription being a pixel user so it will be hard for me to change to onedrive but I'm keeping this in my head...

If you have a mac you can plug your s23U into it and in usb settings enable photo transfer to send your photos to the mac photo library.
There is also Macdroid and other apps if you need to copy files back and forth.
Too bad apple doesn't allow Dex any more as then it would be easy to run dex on your Mac and drag and drop between the 2.

this is mobile gmail not the app, yes?
Waiting for an APK to show up for the app. I don't know if it will get pushed to our NCs. I haven't had any updates for google apps on the NC yet...
There is no APK to wait for. It's the web versions, like Google Docs. Doesn't work on 1.0.1 on a non-stock browser, though, as there's no way to present an android user agent.
PrinterShare Rocks
In the Market, printershare prints to wireless or network connected printers.
You can even remote print to a PC connected printer with the Premium Key. This app really rocks, it prints PDFs, gmail, images, etc.
I print to my Canon Pixma MP560 at home and the Xerox at my work without issues.

File Transfer to Contacts

Okay is there an app for this? If both people had the same app and of course had android... Like where I could upload something and they could download it like a mms, or would I have to use cloud sharing? Also which is the best cloud sharing and easiest for both pc and phone? Skybox/Cloud whatever microsoft calls it, dropbox or? I'd like one where I could upload everything from a pc with no transfer/UPLOADING required, just drag ad drop, plus the most storage would help.
Like WhatsApp? But max it allows is 12 MB I believe. For larger sizes I just put it on dropbox and link them to it.
Talking about best cloud service, I don't really know Cuz I don use much of cloud services.
PS - you could just mail em. for larger sizes, Google automatically does it with Google drive.
life!
Yea since posting this, I discovered es file manager has the best cloud storage options, it has 8 cloud services ya can log into (Box, SugarSync, Dropbox, Skydrive, G(oogle)Drive, S3 Amazon, Yandex and Ubunto One) I got WhatsApp so I'll have to try and talk my gf into downloading that for easier file sharing. So far she's just been logging into my cloud's and asking me to load this and that. hahaha

Which app for manage client?

Hi,
a friend of mine bought a few days ago a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" to manage his clients (he's a doctor).
He started to build his contact library (he doesn't have an android phone and no gmail contacts) adding name, surname, eventually mail and phone number and in the "Note" field he wrote all the note he'd taken. BUT this field has a characters' limit, and he can't add even a letter anymore (for the most visited client of course).
I tried to search for an app for this purpose but I can't find anything. I don't even search ONLY an app, it can be enough another method using the in-build feature of the tablet and android.
I searched for some CRM app, but most of them are ugly (since it's not a power user the more simple and clean is the better) and not optimized for a tablet. I found Insightly, but it's only online, and if he does'nt have a wifi network around he can't, not only record the new data, but also access to the old ones! They MUST be always available.
I thought about a simple folder + text file in G Drive, but these are only online too. Dropbox, too.
If it can interact with the G Mail contacts (the Note field is very useful at this) it would be wonderful, otherwise he'll build up his library with his contacts.
How can I do to have these data always on the tablet (cloud sync is not absolutely necessary)??? Any idea for an app or an alternative method?
Thanks!
nobody??
He bought a tablet to use for work, without any idea on how he would use it for work or if it would even do what he wanted? If he throws money around like that, why not recommend him to get an app written for his company and it's needs. There are many app developers who design and write custom apps for clients.

Is there an option to backup Samsung Notes to Google Drive?\Alternative app?

Hi all.
I've been using Samsung Notes as a student for about a year and a half and it's a great app.
However, some people I know (iPad users mostly) use some apps that allow automation backup to Google Drive, allowing them to:
1. makes sure your notes are safe in case something happens
2. watch their notes on their PC easily, everywhere.
Samsung notes only allow backing up to Samsung Cloud\One drive. Both are unreliable and it's never clear whether the sync is actually working properly or not.
In addition, there is no option to watch your notes on your PC.
I was wondering if there is any way to force Samsung Notes to backup to Google Drive, or if there is an app that is as good for note writing while allowing automatic backup to Google.
I'll appreciate any help!
I stop using Samsung's note app after having to hand copy/paste S Notes to restore them because Samsung didn't allow them to integrate to the newer app
SmartSwitch can probably back them up, but never trust SmartSwitch with critical data!!!
I use ColorNote now the backup bookmarks, to create notes, save articles, etc. Multiple backup options including Google drive (I believe) and to the SD card. You can firewall block the app itself and hyperlinks will still open from links in your notes on it.
However it's not compatible with the spen for hand writing notes.

As far as I know, there is no way to back up Samsung Notes to Google. There is a Samsung Notes app for Windows. It's OK. It works better on Samsung Windows laptops than non-Samsung.
I've synced Samsung Notes to OneDrive with no issues. To be clear, I use OneNote more than Samsung Notes though.
Supposedly, Evernote can back up to Google. Your other option is Google Keep.
I haven't used Evernote in years, and have never used Google Keep. So I don't know how well they work.
Since you're more into the Google ecosystem, Google Keep is probably the better option.
Update:
There is no Google Keep app for Windows or Mac. To use it on a Windows or Mac, you have to use the web version, which seems ok.
I think I am going to stick with OneNote as my note taking app. It got me through my bachelors and masters degrees.
