My Notes:

1. Click on My Notes icon in Chrome toolbar
2. In every new tab (see Options)
3. Use Hotkey (see Options)

Options:

1. Click on the gear icon in the bottom left corner
2. Right-click on My Notes icon in the Chrome toolbar and select Options
3. Use Hotkey (see Options)

Context menu allows you to quickly save the selected text to My Notes Clipboard (a special note in My Notes).

Saves the selected text to My Notes Clipboard in your current computer. My Notes doesn't have to be open.

Saves the selected text to My Notes Clipboard in your other computer(s). My Notes needs to be open in the second computer and same Google Account needs to be used.

Google Drive Sync (see Options) saves your notes to Google Drive and synchronizes the changes between your local My Notes and your Google Drive every time you hit the Sync button (bottom left corner).

Benefits:

• backup of notes in your Google Drive
• notes can be restored in the future if My Notes is re-installed, by re-enabling Google Drive Sync
• notes can be edited from Google Drive if needed (or from other devices that have access to Google Drive)
• notes can be edited from other computers where My Notes is installed and Google Drive Sync is enabled (using same Google Account is needed)

Notes are uploaded to your Google Drive to the folder My Notes. This folder is created automatically. If the folder exists from a previous installation, notes are downloaded and uploaded.

Notes are synchronized every time you hit the Sync button (bottom left corner). Synchronization works in both ways — to Google Drive, from Google Drive.

My Notes has only access to the folder My Notes. It cannot see any other files in your Google Drive.
