Better note organization: sub-notebooks/folders
Provide a way to better organize notes, beyond the current notebook organization. This could be done with nested notebooks or folders, labels for notes, sections, chapters, etc.
2,589 votes📁 Folders are now available in Squid10! 📁
The Squid10 Preview is now available to everyone. Notebooks are now folders and folders can now be nested! Folders can also be moved to, and restored from, Trash.
To use folders, update to the latest version of Squid and tap "Try Squid10".
For tags/labels, we created a new idea. If you're interested in this feature, we'd love your vote and feedback.

Add Google Drive as a Cloud Backup Option
Support for Google Drive storage via cloud backup.
1,591 votesSupport for Google Drive is now available for everyone on Google Play, along with a major update to cloud backup! Backups are now created at the note level, meaning only the notes that were created or edited since the last backup will be uploaded to Drive. As a result, backups are now MUCH faster and can easily resume after being interrupted.
This has been a long time coming, so thanks for your patience. Please try it out and let us know if you have any feedback!

Organize pages
Would be nice to organize pages like delete a single page, move a page in front of other, and so on
1,131 votesYou can now easily view all pages in a note by tapping the current page number while in a note!
From this screen you can long press a page, then drag and drop to move the page anywhere in the note.
You can also bulk delete pages in a note by long pressing a page, then tap any additional pages you want to delete, then tap the delete button in the action bar at the top.
In addition, you can clear the current page, select everything on the current page, delete the current page, and insert a page or PDF before or after the current page by long pressing on the current page number.
We’ll continue to add functionality to the page management screen, such as making it easier to insert pages and PDFs, as well as duplicating pages. Stay tuned!

Better Home Screen Organization
It would be nice if the app opened to a home screen that showed your folders/notebooks, rather than your individual recently opened notes. This would feel a little bit more organized and easy to access for people like me, who use multiple documents under one "Notebook" for classes and the like.

Allow cloud backups to work on a note-by-note basis (incremental backups)
Currently, cloud backup saves one single file to my Dropbox account. If I have a few large notes (containing annotated photos, for example) my database can quickly get HUGE, and every backup session takes forever (or fails, very frequently). It would be great if Squid could do incremental backups so only new or updated notes will be uploaded to the cloud.

Make True Selection/Lasso Tool
Selection/Lasso tool should select only what has been selected rather than a rectangular area.
172 votesYou can now precisely select objects with the new Lasso Selection Tool! To retain the previous functionality, we also added a Rectangular Selection Tool, which simply selects everything inside the rectangle.

Add ability to import PDFs from Google Drive on a Chromebook
Import PDF files directly from Google Drive on a Chromebook.
93 votesThis is already possible. You just need to install the Google Drive Android app from Google Play on your Chromebook. Please see http://feedback.squidnotes.com/knowledgebase/articles/1874122 for further details.
Some of the comments on this idea appear to be for automatic Drive backup or sync. If that’s what you want, please vote here: http://feedback.squidnotes.com/forums/177239-general/suggestions/6379530.

Export in native format
This would allow a user to edit notes between devices. For example create a note on Tab A and export to a Dropbox folder and then open and edit on Note 7 phone also running Squid. You can export to .pdf but then editing cannot be done on the original.
64 votesYou can now export and import notes in the new Squid Note (.squidnote) file format! This allows notes to be backed up and shared between devices and people in their original editable format.

Add support for the tablet mode split screen feature in Chrome OS
Would like to see support for tablet mode split screen in Chrome OS
13 votesSplit screen is fully supported by Squid. Whether this works on your Chromebook depends on which version of Chrome OS and device you have. In general, this should work on Chrome OS 70. However, it is currently broken on the Pixel Slate (running Chrome OS 71 with Android 9) as well as Chrome OS 72 with Android 9. Both of these issues have been reported to Google and should be fixed in a future update to Chrome OS.
If you ever have any issues with split screen, please email us at help@squidnotes.com and let us know what device and version of Chrome OS you’re on and we’ll let Google know about the issue if we haven’t already.

Add Pages in between Notes
I like being able to annotate .pdf versions of my professor's slides, however, if I want to add more notes, I have to go all the way to the end of the file, then add a page, then drag it to the right spot. It would be so much easier if I could just add a blank page right after my current page.
11 votesThis is already possible (as Tony mentioned in the comments). Just long press the current page number to insert a page or PDF before the current page. Please see http://feedback.squidnotes.com/knowledgebase/articles/501193 and http://feedback.squidnotes.com/knowledgebase/articles/1136155

Rectangular selection tool
When I want to select text, I don't just want to use a lasso. I think it would be very useful to be able to select stuff using a box. Click and drag to make a box over text instead of drawing a circle over everything. I like the lasso but different selection tools would be great.
6 votesYou can now use the Rectangular Selection Tool to quickly select all items within a selection rectangle. We also replaced the previous selection tool with the Lasso Selection Tool, which allows you to select items much more precisely.

Allow arrow keys between pages
I would like to be able to use the arrow keys to navigate between pages rather than having to click on the arrow keys i the navigation bar.
3 votesYou can do this using alt + left/right arrows. FYI, using just left/right (and up/down) arrows by themselves pans around the page. A complete list of shortcuts is available here: http://feedback.squidnotes.com/knowledgebase/articles/1201054.

Make Squid a default for opening PDFs
In the list of default apps that can open PDFs, I did not see squid listed. This means that each time I want to open a PDF, I have to open squid and import PDF. Then I have to search through all my files for the correct PDF. This seems like a waste of time. Do you think you could make squid available as one of the default PDF programs?
3 votesSquid should show up as an option when opening a PDF from another app. If it doesn’t, please contact support at help@squidnotes.com so we can investigate.

Update to Adaptive Icon
(Not a feature request as much as aligning with current Android UI standards.)
Please consider updating to the adaptive icon standard created for Android 8.0+. With your existing simple icon background, this should be pretty easy. You can see Google's guidelines here: https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design_adaptive
Thanks!

Automatically change Cloud backup Cloud folder to value of Restored backup when restoring an existing backup from cloud
I have several different Cloud backup folders to separate notes of different topics. Before I work on any document in a folder of choice, I Restore said folder to make sure I have the latest (as it may have been saved from another device since I opened it on my current device). I then make any desired changes to the notes in question and execute a manual backup before leaving Squid (so other devices can Restore and see the latest updates).
I had an incident where I created a new Folder (we will call it FOLDER-2 for reference here) to…
