What is Google Keep?

 

Google Keep

Considering that Google has an application for practically everything, it makes sense that it would offer its own version of a note-taking app that works across multiple devices and platforms. Google Keep is precisely that. Its emphasis is primarily on the consumer market (it isn't part of Google's G Suite productivity line for businesses), but it could definitely be leveraged by professionals and organizations for everything from note-taking and list-making to managing tasks and projects. Here's a consumer-side example: Google shows a mock Keep account where the person has a reminder for a surprise birthday party, a list of gift ideas, people to invite and something to track RSVPs, and then special notes dedicated to party invite and birthday card ideas. With Google Keep, you can customize your notes to look like traditional lists, add images to make them more easily identifiable on the screen, and even take voice notes right inside the application. But perhaps the coolest feature that Keep highlights is its ability to add locations and other relevant data to notes and then share them with others. Overall, It's a highly visual app that makes organization fun.

Box Notes:

When choosing a note-taking app, much of the decision-making centers on what services you already use throughout the workday. For example, Box and Dropbox are two distinct cloud-based file-sharing services, and each of them also has its own note-taking platform. So if your business already uses Box as a cloud storage and file-sharing service, then it might make sense to go with the same company for keeping tracks of notes and collaboration. Those who choose Box Notes enjoy a clean interface for note-taking that's available both on desktop and mobile devices, with a responsive design that ensures the notes properly fit any device. Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of using services such as Box Notes is that you can share your notes with other people and they can actively edit them, clearly helpful in a collaborative environment. Box Notes also offers Version History, a feature that lets you dig through the genesis of every note, including edits and comments, to track progress or recover necessary information.
