Could you elaborate a bit more on your note taking workflow? I have an ipad and a macbook but I haven't figured out the best way to use them together that doesn't involve connecting with a cable and manually dragging files around in the finder. (The corporate admin has disabled icloud, which doesn't help).

I have a lot of pdfs on the laptop. I'd like to send one to the ipad, jot some notes, and send it back in a seamless way. Or generate a quick drawing on the ipad and easily add it to a document on the laptop.

I use notes and notability, each of which syncs using icloud. I also use the feature (I don't know the name) of the shared clipboard which also I think uses icloud for authentication.

Finally, if I, say, download a PDF from my computer, I can open it from the ipad because my downloads folder is in iCloud. This one, at least, you could use use if your company permits a different cloud provider.
