Switching to Stoatify doesn't mean starting from scratch. There are a few ways to bring in the documents you already have, pick whichever matches where they live today.
Upload what's on your computer
The simplest start: drag a folder's worth of PDFs and images onto the vault. They upload in parallel and land in categories, ready to tag. See Upload your first document.
Pull from email and folders
- Email intake. Forward attachments to your private per-vault address and they're filed automatically.
- IMAP inbox. Connect an inbox and Stoatify pulls attachments from it on an ongoing basis.
- Watched folder. Point a directory at Stoatify and drop files in to import them.
- URL import. Paste a link to a document and Stoatify fetches it.
Tip
Doing a big one-time import from another app? Download your files from it, then drag them in as a batch. For ongoing intake, set up automated intake once and forget it.
