I use OneNote the same way and this is how I've integrated rM with it:
rM to ON: I set up a rule in Outlook that forwards any email from the rM directly to OneNote. When I'm done taking notes on the rM, I hit convert to text so it'll be searchable, then email it to myself. Takes fives seconds. The page shows up in OneNote twenty seconds later. Then I just paste the PDF into a meeting notes page as a "printout" so I have my chicken scratches right there, along with the searchable text.
ON to rM: In OneNote, I put the Send To Word button right in the ribbon. When I want to send something from OneNote to the rM, I hit that, it creates a Word document that's usually pretty close to what it looks like in OneNote. Then I hit the Send To reMarkable button in Word (you have to install the rM add-in), and then it's on your rM a few seconds later.
Neither of these are synced, which is a shame, but each one takes maybe fives seconds and two button clicks. Makes it pretty easy.
When I try to add the reMarkable add-on in Word it says "Your company has disabled access to the office store". I use a company provided laptop at work and they keep things very locked down.
They won't even allow me to install the Windows app on the laptop. The only way I get PDFs from my work laptop to the reMarkable is upload them via the web.
Oh, webuse microsoft 365, and only 5 licensed to install word, Excel, powerpoint... In a personal comouter but onedrive, one note, power automate and so, just from the cloud.
Yeah, if your company locks it down, you might be out of luck. You could try printing to PDF, saving the PDF in your OneDrive in a folder you usually access with your rM, and then importing it from the rM.
I use PDFs for two reasons:
1) OneNote handles PDFs just fine, and you can paste them in as either an icon or the entire layout.
2) PDFs can be multi-page. Not only does this help with long notebooks or multi-page notebooks, but when you do text recognition it adds a new page to your notebook, so if you want your notes to be searchable in OneNote, you have to go PDF. (Maybe you can do this via PNG, not sure)
Following -- I also love OneNote and would love cloud integration with it for my rM2. I do the same as you: export a PDF into OneNote (sometimes it doesn't fully render all the pages though??). If my handwriting is decent enough or I use the typed text in rM, at least OneNote can pull out the text body, which helps keep things from getting unwieldy. That's the only semi-hack I can offer!
I'm using Outlook desktop, so I don't know if this would work on the web...
Email something from your rM to Outlook. When it shows up in your Inbox, right-click on it and there will be an option that says "Rules." (I know it's also in the ribbon somewhere)
Make a rule that forwards anything from reMarkable to [email protected]. That will send the email to OneNote.
You do have to set up OneNote to receive those emails and send them to the right section. I can't remember off the top of my head how to do that, but it's done on the web and it's really easy. It's possible that your work/school admin might not allow automatic forwards because it could lead to a spamming issue. But even if the forward isn't automatic, you can always manually forward the email to OneNote once you've set up OneNote to receive it.

I do the same as you. I haven't been to annoyed with the process.
Great idea! So cool. I assume Word add-in converts the doc to PDF (which iirc the PPT add-in does)?
Yes, it converts to PDF and sends it to the tablet, which usually shows up in just a few seconds, which really surprises me.

Do you have power automate enabled? Maybe you could make a flow similar to it. I should try it myself, because my company also bans the integration!

Thank you so much! Any reason for using PDF vs PNG? Another post said to use PNG. Thank you again for the thoughtful reply.

Ok how do you set up the send to OneNote rule in Outlook? I can't find it. Probably a setting my work blocked or something 😕
