Great idea. I’ve been using the free version and will upgrade to the paid version because of your idea.

In reply to David.

Thanks for the comment David. One key thing about Evernote is that there is UNLIMITED space. The only limit you have is the amount of data you can upload in any given month. For the premium account it’s 1GB. Way more than enough for just receipts, documents, etc. Then once it’s up there, it’s up there for life. Then there’s the OCR technology I mentioned. How easily can you find receipts or PDFs saved to Dropbox?

BTW, I also tag and archive in Gmail, but I found it’s nice have receipts specifically in a set place in Evernote too.

Interesting idea to use Evernote.

Right now, I use DropBox for scanned receipts, and Gmail for anything emailed; just tag and archive. Instead of forwarding an e-mail, I just do a Save As… to the appropriate folder on whichever computer I’m on and it’s there.

I think I get most of the same benefits that way, since both Evernote and DropBox are on most of my devices.
