OfficeDrop on Makeuseof and More

Friday, September 30th, 2011

 align=OfficeDrop had  great write up on Makeuseof called “How To Use Your iPad / iPhone Camera To Scan Documents To PDF [iPhone & iPad 2]” by Steve Campbell. The article is almost a great case study and goes into detail on how the OfficeDrop iPad app can be used at a conference to scan and store paper.

Here is a quote from the article:

“Picture this. You have a really important meeting at work today, one that you’ve been up most of the night preparing for, creating documents, spreadsheets, and what not. You’ve been tasked with making digital copies of your physical notes to send to your colleagues to help prep them for this meeting, which starts in about two hours. If you were in a hurry and could only bring one thing to this meeting, what would it be?

If it was me, it would be my iPad. As for the documents I had to scan, well, that’s all been taken care of, because I used an iPad app that allowed me to take pictures of each of my documents and turn them into shiny new digital PDFs that I can organize and share with my colleagues at the click of a button. Sound convenient? Prepare to never need to keep a piece of paper ever again.”

How Do I Update An App from the Mac App Store

Friday, August 26th, 2011

If you’ve purchased an app in the Mac App Store then it’s easy to update the application. Apple has made it simple to update the app right from within the App Store. Here is how you do it.

Updating an App in the Mac App Store

Step 1 is to click on the Mac App Store Icon. You’ll find it on the bottom of your screen in the dock.

update mac app

Look to see if you need to update a Mac App

If you have a little red number floating above the icon then you know you have an update that is ready to install!

Step 2 is either select the downward facing arrow called “updates” or click “store” then “updates.”

update mac app store app

Click to Update the Mac App Store App

You will then be shown all the applications that have new version available.

Step 3 will have you click the  grey “update” button on the right for the app or apps that you want to update.

Yup! It’s that easy.

So, for users of OfficeDrop’s ScanDrop Mac Scanner Software, this is how you keep up to date with the latest version of our scan to the cloud software. You can start scanning to the cloud right from your Mac’s desktop with ScanDrop, which is available in the Mac App Store here. Happy scanning and updating!

OfficeDrop on BostInno

Thursday, August 11th, 2011

A post I wrote about OfficeDrop’s pricing strategy shift is now up on BostInnovation. The article is about our switch to a freemium pricing strategy, and you can read it here.

We are very excited at the growth we’ve had since July – post our pricing changes and post our new iPhone app launch. I believe that the primary driver for this success is the fact that we listened to our customers and rapidly made changes to how we sold our app after launching in the Android marketplace. One of the most important changes was the introduction of our free plan. Since then things have been great (with the exception of some scaling issues we experienced in the middle of July, which our technical team worked some long hours to address.)

Another Great OfficeDrop Review by a Customer

Friday, August 5th, 2011

It feels great when customers write nice things about us! As the marketing person here at OfficeDrop, I work hard with my team to get reporters to notice us. But when actual paying customers take the time out to write positive reviews of OfficeDrop it really shows off the hard work the development team puts into the product!

OfficeDrop Review by William Higgins

William Higgins
William Higgins

William Higgins is an ECM technologist for a major financial institution in Atlanta, GA. So, he knows what he’s talking about when he discusses managing content and cloud based technologies. His post is called “Scanning Documents to the Cloud with OfficeDrop.

William writes about OfficeDrop on his blog, augusthiggins.net. He says, “I work with Enterprise Content Management (or ECM) systems for a living and have an extensive background in Imaging or Document Capture.  But yet, at home I struggle to find a good way to capture important documents and keep them intelligently organized.”

Of course, this is where OfficeDrop enters the picture!

He starts off by showing how he uses ScanDrop to scan to the cloud, “The user interface is styliezed like the newer Microsoft Office applications with the menu ribbon at the top.  OfficeDrop makes good use of Folders and Labels…”

The he goes on to explain how to use OfficeDrop’s cloud filing system to organize and quickly find documents, “If foldering and labels weren’t enough, OfficeDrop also creates full-text searchable PDF files of the scanned documents you store in the cloud.  This means that even if you don’t spend the time organizing your documents in folders or adding lables, you can still do a “Google”-like fuzzy search of your document contents.”

Thanks for the great write up, William!

Customer Review of ScanDrop

Saturday, July 23rd, 2011

We love it when a customer writes something nice about us – and just yesterday Edward Kiledjian did just that!

Check out his review of ScanDrop here.

Review of ScanDrop Scan to Cloud Software

Edward says:

“I am a big fan of Evernote and use it to store all of my reference material (as explained in the GTD methodology). One of the key requirements to my online storage strategy is converting paper into PDF and getting it into Evernote as simply and quickly as possible.

A while back I found a free software called ScanDrop which did exactly that. I use it to scan paper directly from my Brother multifunction device and then upload it straight into my Evernote [For Google Docs users, it supports that service too] inbox ready for processing. It supports a whole range of scanners.”

Edward also took some screenshots.

We are glad that he appreciates ScanDrop, and wish happy scanning to all of our ScanDrop Scan to Evernote users!
