My team is thinking about adopting OneNote 2007 across the
organization. Does anyone have a rough idea of the notebook size of a
typical OneNote user after a couple of years? Are we talking GB's
here? Anyone care to guess?
I'm sure it depends heavily on the number of screenshots you take,
'print to OneNote's' etc... but just to get an idea, I thought I'd
poll the group.
I've been using it for 1.5 years and my notebook is approaching 100MB.
But I take mostly text notes....

Aloha SRB,
Seems hard to say - does depend a LOT on usage, if the notebooks are shared,
etc. I would think anywhere from 50 to 150MB seems very reasonable. Perhaps
even more.

I have 76MB after using ON2007 for 3-4 months. I use it most days, and print
to onenote moderately.

Hi everyone! I've noticed that twice now as I read this thread people have
mentioned "printing to OneNote" specifically. Why is that? Is there
something I should know, as a user, about the size of documents formatted
using this function? And if there is a size issue, is there anything I can
do to keep the size down in that case?
Just curious. Let me know!

I've been using ON for over 1 year now and I'm up to about 5 GB of storage
space. However, every page in my sections have a 10MB audio file as well as
prinouts from powerpoint...

I use OneNote for technology research, business notes, temporary storage,
screen clips, audio capture.
After >1 year, it's 252MB; meaning it's storable on my cell phone. ;-)

Given everybody's replies being so small, I need to clarify.
I print about 7-8 powerpoints to OneNote each day. Those are about 5 MB
each. Also, I use ON about 18 hours a day. I consider myself a power
user of OneNote, and not just in terms of using all features. I use it
constantly over and over. That is why there is so much.
Also, I'm using it as a file repository...I drag and drop files in
OneNote, so that I can add details to the file without having to open
the file to see what it is. It helps with searching.

Hi Erik,
Thanks for responding.
One question on your massive ON notebook - do you encounter any
negative performance issues because it is so big?

SRB,
I did notice some issues during the beta versions of OneNote, but, Olya
Veselova (OneNote product manager) spent a couple hours on the phone
with me tweaking things just right. First and foremost, my notebooks
are not that big. I have lots of notebooks (see
http://www.erikpaul.net/video-tutor/onenote-videos/how-to-organize-notes-in-onenote-2007.html),
which is very important. Many upgraders from 2003 to 2007 still use
section groups instead of notebooks. The notebooks are much more
stable. Second, I close the notebooks when I'm done with the class at
the end of the quarter, so, I only have about 5-7 notebooks open at a
time. Each notebook only contains about 250-500 MB of files. I try to
keep my sections under 200 MB each. By doing this, I have had almost no
problems with performance.
The only problem I do have is if I open a notebook that was previously
closed. Since OneNote will brute scan the notebook upon it's opening,
it may take 3-5 minutes before my notebook is "completely" useable. I
can click on any section, however, and wait about 15 seconds and it will
be scanned and running, though. So, it isn't that big of a deal. Also,
I very rarely open closed notebooks, so, this is a "once in a blue moon"
type of deal.
All in all, I have had no problems with stability, once I moved away
from opening the entire OneNote Notebooks folder as a single notebook
(as in 2003) and moved to the notebook platform.
Did I answer your question?

Hi Erik,
You seem to have as much OneNote storage (if not more) as I do, and I'm
having terrible performance problems. Are you having problems with
performance? Are you spending a lot of time with OneNote monopolizing your
hard drive? I've been thinking that I need to drastically reduce the size of
my notebooks, but if you are getting good response with 5GB, then maybe I
have a different problem.
Oh, a couple of other thoughts - did you upgrade your notebooks from OneNote
2003? And what kind of PC (CPU, RAM, hard drive) are you using?
Thanks,
Blair
