I love Onenote and have 2010. I've been able to sync Onenote on my laptop and skydrive, but would like to add a desktop with the onenote client to to sync with as well (not use web).

Onenote will only give me two choices for sync: a)web or b)network. I can't do both.

Does anyone have any solutions on how I can sync all 3, and be able to edit on all 3?

Thanks

First, create a new notebook. Choose to save it on the web (SkyDrive).

Then, switch to your laptop. Create a new notebook with the exact same name and parent folder. OneNote will tell you that a notebook already exists. And you can choose to use that folder as a new notebook.

OR

from http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/onenote-help/share-notebooks-in-onenote-2010-HA010386952.aspx

If you won't be sharing your notebook with others but you want to use it on multiple computers, you can click E-mail a Link and then send the e-mail message with the link to your own Web-based e-mail account. This way, you can easily open the shared notebook from another computer.

This should solve your problem

+1 for Web(skydrive). Skydrive also allows for concurrent edits. – surfasb Mar 6 '11 at 16:55

A more general solution would be to use a file syncing service (like dropbox) to sync the files between the computers

dropbox (referral link)

Microsoft Live is a better option. Not only is it more storage (2GB vs 5GB) but also allows concurrent editing among users or other machines. – surfasb Mar 6 '11 at 16:55
Do you mean the service formerly called 'live mesh'? This was my preferred service till recently, but dropping the XP client support made it unsuitable for some clients (like me) – Ophir Yoktan Mar 6 '11 at 17:47
