hello!
Can Notepad++ send text to the cloud and read it on my android phone?
Or maybe another good text editor?
Or any other solution?
I have Google Keep, but unfortunately it doesn't work, text on my phone is not available online and vice versa.
Thanks!

I use Simplenote for this kind of thing, but I wouldn't call it a text editor.  It's a simple webapp for keeping a small collection of notes.  It syncs to/from my devices and my PC (via a browser) no problem.

For anyone who finds this interesting and wants to understand more about how it works, much (maybe all?) of it is open sourced: https://github.com/Automattic (and search for "simplenote").

They have a simple note application for the android, though I use Glance Note for most of my work there.

And there's CintaNotes, mentioned here before, that moved it's SimpleNote synchronization into the free version some time ago. Notes can be viewed/edited on Android (and other platforms) using a SimpleNote app. Very convenient. (disclaimer: I'm a happy CintaNotes user, received a free Lifetime-PRO license in a giveaway here on DCF).

Hi kalos,

I wanted something similar, i.e. a way to write short notes when I am on desktop (mostly) and viewing those notes in simple and quick manner, on my Android phone.

As said above by others, I found the below combination best for me.
1. ResophNotes http://www.resoph.com/ResophNotes/Welcome.html for desktop
2. Simplenote  https://simplenote.com/ for Andoid, also IOS.

Code
Excerpt from the ResophNotes site,
