How do I send a file to be filed?

Email it to your private TurtleSave address (find it on your Dashboard after signing up), with TURTLESAVE <folder path> somewhere in the subject line — for example TURTLESAVE Clients/Smith. Every attachment on that email gets filed there automatically.

What happens if the folder I name doesn't exist?

Nothing gets lost. If the folder named in the subject line doesn't match an existing folder in your connected storage, the file is filed under a safe "Fall Back" folder instead — so you can always find it and sort it manually later.

Which cloud storage providers are supported?

Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, and Box are all fully supported today — connect any one of them from your Connections page in a couple of clicks. You can only have one connected at a time; connecting a new one replaces whichever was connected before.

Is my cloud storage password ever seen or stored by TurtleSave?

No. Connecting your storage uses OAuth — the standard "Login with..." flow you've likely used elsewhere. You authorize access directly with Dropbox/Microsoft/Box, and TurtleSave never sees your password at all. You can revoke access anytime from Connections, or directly from your storage provider's own account permissions.

Can I control who's allowed to send me files?

By default, anyone who knows your filing address can send files to it, and adding senders to your allowed-senders list on the Inbound Mail page doesn't change that on its own — it's there to give specific senders (or whole domains, like @yourcompany.com) a default filing folder, so their emails get sorted automatically. If you genuinely want to block everyone except the senders you've listed, there's a separate "Block everyone not on this list" toggle on that same page — off by default, your choice to turn on.

Does TurtleSave keep a copy of my files?

No — files go straight from the incoming email into your connected storage. TurtleSave doesn't keep a separate copy anywhere. Your activity history just records what was filed, when, and where — not the file contents themselves.

Still have a question?

The best way to see how it works is to just try it.
