Moving Google Keep Notes to a new Gmail Account



I searched Google and couldn't find a good solution for transferring Google Keep notes between gmail accounts.  (For example between your work and personal gmail), and the option is not available on Google Takeout.  So here are the 2 ways I've been doing it.


Transferring Notes with pictures

  1. In your source Google Keep account share the note with your destination Google account
  2. Go to your destination Google Keep account and you will see the note,  click the 3 dots for more option and select "Make a Copy".(The reason you want to copy it is because if the original note from your source account is ever deleted it will be deleted at the destination account too)
  3. Now either delete the shared note from your destination account  (So you don't see it twice).  Or if you are cleaning up your source account,  go back and delete the note from your source account (and it will also delete from the destination account).

Quick Copy/Paste 

A lot of my notes are just text and they don't even have titles so it is actually faster to just:
  1. Open my source and destination Google keeps up in 2 Chrome Browsers and display both on the screen.
  2. Just quickly copy/paste the text from the source note to the destination note.
  3. Not the slickest solution, but it works.

The reason this came up is because I was trying to remove some of the Google Keep notes from my work Google Keep account and wanted to save them on my personal Gmail Account.

How to batch Uninstall many windows applications quickly


If you need to uninstall a lot of applications from a Windows machine and you are getting tired of clicking okay over and over and over, as well as waiting for each uninstall to finish before selecting the next application to uninstall, then here's what I do.


  1. Download dUninstaller from FoolishIT.com
  2. Run the dUninstaller.exe program (it doesn't even need to install)
  3. Check the box of the programs you want to uninstall
  4. Click the "Uninstall Now" button
  5. Occasionally you will still have to click the "OK" button,  but not much compared to other uninstall options. 



Why I choose dUninstaller over other software
  • You can batch uninstall many applications at once
  • It will silently uninstall as many of the applications as possible,  so that you DON'T have to keep clicking the "OK" button.  I haven't seen any other uninstall programs with this feature
