"Email to myself" feature

The “Email to myself” feature lets you send documents to your own email address.

You can fully customize your email message parameters: address, attachment type, subject, etc.

Online storage services

With "Email to myself", you can also upload your scans to online storage services like Evernote or Box.net, with a single tap.

Uploading documents to online services via email is instant and can be done even if you're temporarily off line.

The most popular “cloud” services use different addressing schemes:

“Evernote” assigns each account a unique email address, which you can find on the Settings page of Evernote's Web site. You can assign a destination notebook (and also add tag info) using the subject line from your email.

“Box.net” uses specially generated email addresses to upload your docs to specific folders.  Find more details tap here.

“Flickr” users are assigned a special email address for photo uploads. Learn more here.

Note: you can also use the app's “Send as PDF” function to open your documents in apps like the free Dropbox, Google Drive, SkyDrive, or Evernote app, etc., to send them to “clouds” from there.

In app Settings menu, tap “Email to myself.”
