How to Share Google Keep or Add Someone (users)?

Google Keep is a powerful note-taking tool that has made lives easier for many in this pandemic scenario. Traditionally, when we share notes with someone, one person simply copies them from the other one. We even take pictures or screenshots and share them over messaging platforms to share all the required notes. But we don’t need to do that anymore. Rather than having a copy or a picture, we can now just see the original note ourselves using Google Keep.

We can now share the original notes with anyone using the Google Keep tool. And for sharing the notes on Google keep, the contact or individual needs to join the share’s Google keep. So here in this article, we will see what one can do to add someone to our Google keep. You will need the email address of the people that you want to add to your Google keep. Now without any further ado, let’s get into it.

Adding People & Sharing Notes on Google Keep:

The process is identical in both the desktop application and the mobile application.

How to add people on Google Keep?

• Launch the Google Keep application on your device.
• Open the note that you want to share.
• Scroll to the bottom and click on the Share button.
• Enter the e-mail address of the person that you want to add to Google Keep. You can even directly enter the person’s name, but for that, there are some requirements. Yes, you can search for people by entering their name instead of e-mail address, but only if you have their Google account in your contacts or have their e-mail address saved on your contacts list.
•  Once the person or account shows up when you enter a name or e-mail address, click on it to select it and then click on Save.

Now you just need to wait for them to accept the invitation. They will receive an e-mail for you regarding joining in on Google Keep, and if they follow the link on the mail, they will end up with the Google keep note that you have just shared. As you have noticed already, sharing notes maintains privacy by only sharing selected notes. You can’t just add one person and expect him/her to go through all the notes. It would be best if you shared each note individually. It is a necessary move by Google though as if there were no limitations, people’s privacy could be compromised.

But it will be easier to share notes with people that you have already added to Google keep. This is because the other person’s account details are now saved. So it will be easier to add them to other notes in Google Keep.

How to remove someone from Google keep?

Just like how it takes only a few clicks to add someone, the same is the effort required to remove someone from Google keep. When you are done sharing one note with others, you might want to remove it. But if you want to keep the note, you could just stop sharing it with the others.
