Video: How To Use Evernote Import Folder To Automatically Add Files

This video on Evernote Import Folders is part of a series of quick videos on paperless tips and topics. View more in the series here.

A question I get asked quite a bit is “how do I use Evernote to store my documents and have them stored in my file system?”

On Windows, one great way is to use Evernote’s Import Folders functionality, and that is what this video covers. It is also a great way to automatically have documents or other files added to Evernote.

For some reason, the Mac version of Evernote does not have this functionality, but you can do the same thing using Applescript and/or Hazel to add documents to Evernote.

View the video below, or click here to watch it on YouTube. If you are able to, I recommend that you watch it with HD turned on.
