Evernote and OfficeDrop (formerly Pixily) have teamed up to help you get rid of all the paper that clutters your, very un-paperless, life. From documents to scraps to receipts, everything is digitized by Pixily and made available in Evernote for easy access any time you like –you barely have to lift a finger.

In their own words

OfficeDrop is an interactive document management service that helps consumers and small businesses be more organized and efficient. Our users send paper documents to OfficeDrop. Upon receipt, OfficeDrop scans, categorizes and uploads the documents to a customer’s web account, where they can be securely accessed by authorized users from any location.

Why this is cool

Evernote is a single place for all of the things you want to remember. Now with OfficeDrop, you can keep all those piles and piles of documents right next to your notes and webclips and snapshots all accessible in Evernote the instant you need them.

How it works

Collect all your papers and place them into a pre-paid OfficeDrop envelope. If an envelope just won’t suffice, OfficeDrop also has pre-paid UPS boxes. Once they get your documents, OfficeDrop scans everything into your personal online account. From there, simply click on the “Send to Evernote” button and the scans shoot over to the notebook of your choice. Setup instructions are available on the OfficeDrop blog.

i’m with you ricky… tags don’t bridge the gap between subfolders. Tags are meant to be used liberally and freely, which means putting tags in a hierarchy will be a wild jungle unless they are very micromanaged and used conservatively…defeating the purpose of tags (which was never to replace subfolders..but to cross link data on the fly with anything you can pull out of your head – unlike subfolders you need to be in the right district of thought).

We need both, we need both, we need both.

Sounds great! Will the upload limit affect how much you can send from Pixily?
- Andrew Sinkov
  
  @Markus Yes, scanned documents imported from PIxily will be counted against your month allownace.

I would also want, as Ricky does, folders and sub-folders so that notes could be more organized. Are there others who want this feature?

I agree with others. Folders and sub-folders would be great.

If you close your Pixily account, will you still be able to keep the documents in Evernote? Or does your partnership require you to delete them?
- Andrew Sinkov
  
  @R You will not lose any data kept in Evernote if you close your Pixily account.

SUBFOLDERS, yes these are a basic must and with all the updates recently to EN, it would seem like this would be priority one.

I’m looking for a single serious tool to manage ALL the key information in my life… Evernote was/is at the top of the list.

I’m a “data guy.” I agree with the comments of others who have mentioned the need for a multi-tier folder structure. The flat single level folder structure would quickly become unmanageable for doing serious bulk data management.

Is doing that in the software development plan in the near future. I’ll take no answer as an indication that you’re not sure how to even do it…
Mr. Subfolder

Does Evernote have a philosophical/religious aversion to sub-folders? I only ask because so many of us (us being Evernote customers – you know – the people who pay your salary) want them and Evernote has not responded.
