## How to share notes?
The Notes server app does [not yet provide support for sharing notes](https://github.com/nextcloud/notes/issues/38). However, there is a limited workaround until this has been implemented:
1. Open the Nextcloud Files (*not* Notes!) app in the Web UI or the Nextcloud Android app
2. Share your `Notes` folder (or any category) with the Nextcloud files app with the target user
3. The target user needs to *move* the shared folder into his / her `Notes` folder
⚠️ Both users will now be able to read and edit the notes. Keep in mind though, that there is currently no conflict resolution yet. This means: The last write wins which may cause data loss if both are editing a note in the same time. Minimize this risc by manually pull to refresh before editing a shared note.
## Why don't you make an option for…?
We prefer good defaults over providing an option for each edge case. Our resources are quite limited, so we have to consider introducing new options very carefully.
