Link Sharing

Create and share links to notes which can then be viewed in any browser, by anyone with a link. These notes will always appear in your library under Shared Notes. Audio recordings are available only after someone downloads the linked note. 

Note: Link Sharing and Notability accounts are unavailable in China and Hong Kong

Information on "Notability Account"

In "Notability Settings > Manage Accounts", I see an option for creating a Notability account. What is that? Is it related to note storage?

This is not related to note storage. If you'd like to back up your notes, please try Auto-Backup. 

When you create a Notability account, it'll allow you use Link Sharing and the Gallery.
