Officially you should only be able to open OneNote section (.ONE) files in the Office version of OneNote 2010/2013/2016. Here is how you can to load those files into the OneNote UWP app for Windows 10. Basically, OneNote stores its content in a special folder/file structure.
In the above folder,you can find a separate folder for each notebook you have. Each of the note book folders will have a file (with the extension .one) for each of the sections in the notebook.
How to change OneNote files location?
- In OneNote 2010, we can change the files location by doing the following.
- Open File menu. Select Options.
- Click on ‘Save & Backup‘ tab. Here you can configure options for saving and backing up OneNote files.
- select ‘Default Notebook Location‘ under Save. Click on Modify button and set your desired folder as the new location.
- Click on OK and close the options window.
- From now onwards, every note book you create will be stored in the new location. The old note book files will still be in the old location.

Microsoft Office users can bring their documents with them via the cloud and a Web application called SkyDrive. SkyDrive gives users with Windows Live accounts free space to store documents and photos. These files are accessible regardless of platform. Technically, you can edit OneNote documents in Linux, if the Web browser you chose was compatible with SkyDrive. Using OneNote with a Mac requires you to have a Windows Live account, but does not require a license of Office 2013. Startups can benefit from a free cloud drive with built-in sharing capabilities and save money by working remotely.
1.Open Safari, or your Web browser of choice, and visit SkyDrive (link in Resources).
2.Log in to SkyDrive with the Microsoft Windows Live account linked to your OneNote Office installation. If you do not have an Office installation, create a Windows Live account for free by clicking “Sign Up Now” next to “Don’t have a Microsoft account?”
3.Click “Create,” and then click “OneNote Notebook.” SkyDrive opens a new OneNote document that you can edit from the Web browser of your Mac computer.
Tips
- If you work on both a PC and Mac, save your OneNote files to SkyDrive so that you can seamlessly transition from one operating system to the next.
- The SkyDrive Web app comes with 7GB of free space to store documents, email, photos and notes.
- You can send an email link, or post your OneNote Notebooks to popular social media sites like Facebook and Twitter by checking the box next to the OneNote Notebook you want to share.
- You can log in to your SkyDrive account from a PC version of OneNote and access notebooks you are storing in the cloud. Edits you make from that desktop PC are automatically saved to the cloud as well.
- SkyDrive also has a desktop app available for download via the SkyDrive log in page (link in Resources).
