However, you do need to be careful that, for example, you don’t have the EagleFiler database open on more than one computer at the same time. Thanks to the fact that EagleFiler doesn’t store your documents in a proprietary database, this means that your files can be accessible from any device. With EagleFiler, you can accomplish this by storing your EagleFiler library on Dropbox. A benefit of Evernote is that your files can be available anywhere without you needing to think too much about it. Some may feel that the fact that EagleFiler does not have a server component is a plus, but others will see it as a drawback. Information such as sender and date are also preserved. I can see this being great for project and client work. This gets them out of your email program and into a long-term storage location where you can apply tags etc. If you capture messages from Mail.app or Outlook, it will save the messages to your EagleFiler database along with attachments and information about the message. One nice benefit of EagleFiler is the ability to save emails from your email program. For example, you can have it create a PDF which can be handy. If you are viewing a web page, hit the quick capture key and it will clip the page to Eagle Filer, downloading all images etc.ĭouble-clicking on it will take you to the URL in your browser. Anything that gets scanned or saved here will automatically be imported to EagleFiler at the time of clipping, you can hit Option-F1 and it will pop up an options box. If you want to add some notes, give the file a title, tag etc. If you have a file selected, are viewing a web page, or viewing have email messages selected, hit the clipping shortcut (by default F1) and the information will be automatically imported. If you have existing files outside of EagleFiler, you can drag folders and files in and it will create your folder structure from them.ĮagleFiler also has a great clipper function. Given all that, EagleFiler allows you to add tags to your files and has a great search ability, much like Evernote. You aren’t limited to Evernote’s flat hierarchy.
