If you connect your cloud storage with the Files app, you can easily access all your cloud storage accounts, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, and more, in one interface. This provides a convenient and centralized way to manage and access your files across multiple platforms.
To import files from an external app to GoodNotes, simply select the file you want to import in the other app and tap the Share icon (or similar function). From there, you can choose to either “Copy to GoodNotes” or “Open in GoodNotes” to send the file to GoodNotes.
GoodNotes will then prompt you on how you want to import the file, giving you the option to import it as a new document, add it before or after the page being viewed in GoodNotes, or append it to the document being viewed in GoodNotes using the “Last Page” option.
This feature is a convenient way to transfer files from other apps, like email attachments, to GoodNotes for easy annotation and organization.

Importing a folder of files from the Files app involves two steps.
First, you need to compress the folder into a .zip file.
Second, import the .zip file into GoodNotes.
Importing notes from another app into GoodNotes can be challenging since each app typically has its own proprietary native format. Unfortunately, there isn’t an easy way to import notes from one app to another. You will need to export all your notes in the app as PDFs to the Files app, from where you can import them all at once into GoodNotes. However, this may mean losing the ability to edit them.
If the other app supports folders, you will need to re-create them in GoodNotes. Hope you get to know how to import pdf to goodnotes 5 with above tips.
