How to share a Google Keep note with family and friends

Google has been carrying out activities designed for the family for some time. Since family groups were introduced to Google Play, their possibilities have been increasing. From now on you can share in a group your photos from Google Photos, events from Google Calendar and for this case, notes from Google Keep.

The Google app to write notes can become a valuable tool for the whole family It can also be used for groups of friends or colleagues of floor.Therefore, we are going to show you the basic steps to be able to share a note in Google Keep.

Family account on Google Play

What we are going to do is create an account that represents a group of friends or a family. In that group there must be an administrator, who has the powers to edit and make adjustments to the group, and who will generally be the one who founds the group. Therefore, you are going to be the administrator of your family group

We go to the Google Play website and once inside we look for the Account option. Under Methods of payment we see the Family subheading and the option Register to create the family collection. Then we mark Register. Automatically, our gmail account with which we have entered will be recognized as the administrator.

As we continue, we are informed that we can only invite people over 14 years of age and who reside in the same country as us.You must include your credit card details, but don't worry, there is no charge. Then, we are informed that we can include a maximum of 5 people (6 counting us), who will have access to the full suite of Google products. Among them is Google Keep.

Shared Notes on Google Keep

We go to the Google notes application. We can use Google Keep by downloading it from the Play Store (or App Store) or its web version. In any case, when we enter our notes and reminders appear. If we want any of these notes to be shared directly with our family group, we have to follow the following steps.

First, enter on the same note. There, look for the button with the three points in the lower right corner and mark it.This will take us to a menu wherewe have to select Collaborators (under Send) Then the Family Group option will appear. We mark it and click Accept.

Once we have done this, we will see that the icon of a house with a heart inside appears in the corner of the note This means that all users who are part of the family group will find that note in their Google Keep start menu, also with that icon.

Non-admin users will be able to edit those notes. Those editions will be displayed instantly in all the accounts of the group. Thus, we can make a shopping list together very easily You can also delete the note from any account in the family group, if it is determined that it has completed its mission.

Share with family

In this way, Google Keep can help us start the family activity with reminders of who has to set the table or pick up the clothes from the dry cleaners. It can also be extremely useful for a group of friends who share a flat and have to take turns cleaning common areas Even a music band that has to put on common rehearsal hours. The possibilities are endless, we only have to choose one. Google leaves us the infrastructure ready.
