   There are lots of different ways of doing this, of course.  The problem   
   is finding the right one for you.   
      
   Based on what you've said, I'd look at Google Keep   
   https://keep.google.com/).  Its simple - almost too simple.  But I use   
   it for storing a handful of standard responses which I use when   
   operating as a Facebook group admin: things I need over and over.  Once   
   added as a note, items are swiftly available on both PC and mobile.   
      
   Otherwise:   
      
   There are proprietory solutions for integrating computers and mobiles,   
   e.g. "Link to Windows" (MS & Samsung) and Samsung DeX (more modes of   
   operation).  I imagine Apple have something similar for iPhones.   
      
   For 'serious' sharing, I use OneNote, which has become the "index to my   
   life".  It synchronises with a mobile app, although they removed a   
   couple of years ago the ability on Android to expand/collapse indented   
   hierarchies of page items, which I find a real pain, as my pages are   
   often heavily structured.  Nevertheless my whole life is in OneNote, and   
   it's available on all my PCs and mobiles.   
      
   Keep doesn't have the same folder hierarchies as OneNote, so it's less   
   suitable for wholesale storage in my view, but based on what you'd   
   written I'd suggest you look at that first.  Keep has "labels" which can   
   help you find items.  Try asking Gemini (or your preferred AI) this   
   question:  "what options does Google Keep have for structuring stored   
   notes so they can easily be found?"
