ScanDrop Mac was recently mentioned in a large Brazilian technology blog called BR-Mac. While we are not all that great at Portuguese, we are pretty sure that it’s a positive review of our Mac scanner software!

Google Translate gives us a few of the following tidbits from the piece:

“The Scandrop is smart enough to offer at the time of scanning, access to resources useful storage medium selected – for example, if Evernote is selected, you can choose to fill tags and a note about the content, enabling better find it in subsequent searches. However, if you are storing a local disk, or the Dropbox will only be able to choose the file name and destination folder, and is satisfied

But it’s time to really scan every document that shines Scandrop, reaching a usability feature I always appreciate: he’s not in the path.

After pressing the scan button in the application, it displays a simplified interface for this operation, with few options and other visible and hidden pre-selected default values that I fully comply.

…

I use ScanDrop and am enjoying it…”

OK, so Google translate may not be giving our Mac ScanDrop the full glory of this piece, so if you read Portuguese click here to see the rest of the piece on ScanDrop!

And you can get ScanDrop Mac from the Mac App Store.

Mac ScanDrop Reviewed in Tuaw

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

Tuaw, the popular “unofficial Apple blog” recently reviewed OfficeDrop’s ScanDrop for Mac scanning software – and they liked it!

ScanDrop Mac Review in Tuaw

The author, Chris White, says that “One of the tools I’ve found invaluable for speeding up the scan and filing process is ScanDrop, as it allows me to scan a document and do basic image editing. I can also send a PDF to Evernote with a name, tags, and the appropriate Notebook setup without having to juggle files between multiple applications.” He also notes that ScanDrop can scan documents to Google Docs, Dropbox and your Mac’s local drive.

tuaw We are really happy that Tuaw is using our Mac scanner software! Check out the article ScanDrop Comes to Mac!

And you can get Mac ScanDrop in the Mac App Store.

New ScanDrop Mac Press

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

The new Mac ScanDrop version 1.0.3 has been mentioned in a couple of great places recently.

AppScout on ScanDrop Mac:

A few minor steps is all it takes to upload an electronic document to cloud storage services to backup, store, synchronize and share your documents. It gets a little tedious when you have a physical document in your hands and you want an electronic copy that’s available on the web and on all of your devices. If you’re a Mac user, ScanDrop can simplify this process by connecting your scanner directly to cloud storage, including Google Docs, Dropbox, and Evernote. Seamlessly scan, preview, rotate, reorder, crop and upload PDFs to your online account.

Lifehacking.nl on ScanDrop Mac:

(I’m using Google Translate here; don’t know Dutch all that well!!)

The software works fine after the first test. He instantly recognizes my scanner and the correct size paper. A scanned document can I have some editing (crop rotation) and upload directly to a selected Evernote notebook or a specific folder in my Google Docs… With scan I now drop the possibility of directly to Evernote to scan and send.

Hopefully more great bloggers will pick up on how easy ScanDrop Mac makes it to get files into the cloud!

OfficeDrop in Costco Connection

Monday, February 7th, 2011

officedrop-synergies

OfficeDrop was just featured in Costco Connection, the magazine that goes to all of Costco’s membership. OfficeDrop’s kitchen is fueled by Costco, everything from massive bags of peanuts and Hershey Kisses to some sort of tomato soup that Prasad says is quite good.

Here is the article: http://www.costcoconnection.com/connection/201102?pg=24#pg24

We were interviewed by Costco about our real estate tactic to sublease one of the sides of our building to another internet company. OfficeDrop we moved last Feb into a large space in Cambridge, and have our secure document scanning room, a secure document storage room and a separate “corporate” area where the executives and customer service sit. On the other side of our office we have a few extra offices (which have no access to the secure document storage or processing areas – if you have security questions please visit our document scanning and document management security page; only authorized personnel have access to customer documents) and we have subleased one of these to another local startup, Yamli. The Costco piece talks about tips for saving money by sharing space.

More Recent OfficeDrop Press

Monday, December 13th, 2010

OfficeDrop has been on a roll recently, being mentioned in a few great publications! Here are the highlights:

San Francisco Chronicle on OfficeDrop

David Einstein, business and technology reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, recommends OfficeDrop as a way to digitize paper documents for record keeping:

Q: I have hundreds of paper documents that I would like to digitize. I don’t need to be able to edit the documents. I’m just interested in record-keeping. Can you recommend a scanning service?

A: You have several options. You can take your documents to Staples and let them do the scanning at a rate of 25 cents per page. That works out to $125 for 500 pages. Or, you could send the documents to a company like OfficeDrop (officedrop.com)…

Scroll down to the last question on the page!

New York Times on OfficeDrop’s Security

The final part of the New York Time’s three piece case study on OfficeDrop’s security/background checking policy came out on December 8th. This piece was also briefly featured on the Time’s home page!

The case study we published last week chronicled the efforts of OfficeDrop, a start-up that scans sensitive documents for its clients and therefore must ensure that employees are trustworthy.

The article recounted how Prasad Thammineni, OfficeDrop’s chief executive, struggled at first to find the right background-check company and then faced a daunting variety of checks to choose among…

Let’s hope that the rest of December is as good for press coverage as the first couple of weeks have been!

OfficeDrop Co-Founder Anand Rajaram on Site Conversion

Friday, October 15th, 2010

anand-rajaram-mugshot OfficeDrop’s co-founder, Anand Rajaram, has recently written a post on tests we used here at OfficeDrop during our recent site redesign to optimize our conversion rate. The post is found on Performable’s blog here: Optimizing Conversion Rates with Simple Tests.

When we remodeled our site, we took advantage of a large number of online tests to make the site experience better. Anand set up and ran some pretty cutting edge tests that helped us understand what our visitors were looking for, how they interacted with the site and where they got confused/lost the message/didn’t like the navigation. The post I’ve linked to above is the first in a series that he is going to write on how we did this.

Anand mentions a few pretty cool, cutting edge testing tools that we used, including UserTesting, Feedback Army, and FiveSecondTest.

Special thanks to the folks over at Performable for giving us the opportunity to post on their blog. They are a local, Cambridge MA company focused on helping startups turn website visitors into customers, and are a great contributor to the startup scene here in the Boston area.
