I regularly synchronize the OneNote folders between my main and backup
systems, and they are fully useable on both systems. In my case I use an
application called Beyond Compare (from Scooter Software) for this task. I
have it EXCLUDE desktop.ini and *.onetoc2 files from the operation when it is
synchronizing the files between the two computers over the network.
There are lots of synchronizing utilities that might work for you, but you
need to be careful when using them, of course.

Why do you want to *MOVE* the file(s)???
Do you want to remove the files from the "source" computer?
If you want to use the notebooks in more than one computer you can make
use of OneNote's fantastic automat synching.
For using this feature one has to keep the the notebook files in *one*
computer only.
> One note refuses to read the file.
Pls be a bit more specific and let us know what you have done so far.
Normally there is no problem at all to open a notebook deriving from
another computer.

OK for *Outlook*, but IMHO a *seriously*wrong* approach as far as
*OneNote* is concerned
Pls see my reply to LeftFoot.

Not feasible for all of us. The method I use works perfectly well. I use the
application heavily and haven't had any issues with it at all. One only has
to do some research to learn what to synchronize and what to exclude. That's
why I use Beyond Compare. It's ability to define precise rules is quite a bit
beyond that of the ordinary synchronization utility.
In my case, however, the systems being synchronized only get used
one-at-a-time, and synchronization between then always happens before use of
the application is switched from one system to the other.

I agree that different situations require different ways.
Still I can nit at all understand why you work around IN's system if
synchronization.

I'll be happy to offer my perspective on any subject if I honestly think I
have something to offer. Caveat emptor is always the rule for those who look
for information in locations such as this one. I know for a fact what I'm
doing has no drawbacks. If the originator of the thread has questions, I'm
sure we'll see them.
If I need further advice from you, you can be sure I'll ask for it.
